If you plan to protest, turn OFF face recognition or finger print recognition on your phone.

Be peaceful, be diligent

We saw how the cops and national guard acted last time.

hey for those looking to protest, look into voices ignited on bluesky. theyre organizing protests across the country and currently have ones scheduled in Seattle and Phoenix on the 29th, they're working on getting permissions for Pittsburgh as well.

If you plan to go, remember to wear a mask and cover all identifying features. Tattoos, dyed hair, don't wear identifiable clothing. Turn your phones off completely and make your lockscreen emergency contacts just in case. Bring a medkit if you have one and be sure it contains saline for any kind of tear gas. These protests are meant to be peaceful, but we all know how that usually goes.

If anyone attempts to get you to use violence, that is a fed. Do not listen to them.

Be safe, I love you, the only way out is through

2 YEARS not 4. Now is the time to let your reps know that YOU will be voting for whoever will run against them and get them out of office. Do it on the daily.

Go to https://www.house.gov/ and find your rep and respectfully let them know. Keep up the pressure. Do not wallow in apathy.

We can in 2 long years change but those changes can come faster if they know their job is in jeopardy

For everyone of us US Folks that are going to have to live through the next four years of hell, I just want to remind you that it's perfectly understandable to invest in any and every one of your offline interests going forward. Doomscrolling the next four years of our lives isn't going to help us at all, especially with TikTok essentially becoming a right-wing leaning platform overnight and Meta doing whatever they can to fall in line with Trump. Invest in yourself and your people (friends, family) by investing in your own offline interests and hobbies. Create that small little comfort zone and world that'll help you and your people get through the next four years. Buy your favorite movies (physically!), buy more books (physically!), rebuy those childhood consoles or video games you no longer have, build up a stock of LEGOs to build or collect whatever it is that'll help bring you a sense of joy and escapism. Do whatever it is you need to do to in order to create an offline world or ecosystem that makes you and your people feel a sense of safety.

As of Jan 21st, 2025, a full copy of the constitution is no longer available on whitehouse.gov. I feel like this is a good time to remind everyone that the biggest threat to authoritarianism and facism is a well educated and informed population. Inform yourself and fight.

a copy of the document can still be found on the archives website. I think now is probably a good time to read it if you haven't and download it, incase it is erased from here as well.

Nazi

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

[bristlee1]

Quick reminder that it's always morally correct to punch nazis.

[bristlee1]

Don’t be afraid, be angry. Be very very angry. Call a nazi a nazi. He knew what he was doing. Do not engage with these people. Block them, give them no lease to argue. Delete twitter, delete meta. Hurt them wear it counts, their wallets

For some reason the versions of this where he gives two salutes is being deleted and replaced with a version with a quick cut to a cheering crowd so I’ll just share it here 🙃

I feel this to my very bones

crawling back to this tumblr account after the tiktok ban feels like driving back to my old home in the countryside,, gently wiping away the cobwebs and the dust that's settled in my absence,, nothing changed, nothing out of place,, a memory of a forgotten era; frozen in time,,

[bristlee1]

For any relocated TikTok users

you can say sex and kill its fine

If you don't have a profile picture people will assume you're a bot

theres barely an algorithm, if you want to see cool shit reblog things instead of just liking them

follower count doesnt matter

tumblr fame gets you one thing and it is Yelled At

no one knows what the fuck the nsfw policy is

block anyone that annoys you even a little bit

And most importantly:

post cringe

Good to see you back!

As a fellow photographer, what gear are you rocking these days?

Thanks! I’m still with the Canon but upgraded to the R5. I still use my Mark IV and III and use my T3i for some video. I did not buy any of the new R lenses. Bought the adapter instead. You do lose some speed (hence why I shoot still with the Marks) but that is the only complaint with the adapter.

Had the pleasure of shooting with a Nikon Z8 recently and after a little learning curve, really enjoyed it.

Thanks for asking. What are you shooting with?

Have a lovely day.

Had the pleasure of watching and photographing this young Great Horned Owl for several hours.

I come back here usually about once a month but with what is happening with all Meta apps and twitter. Think I’m coming back here. Why did I leave?

[bristlee1]

It’s been years since posting on here.
