I am 100% not shitting you when I say scientists named mastodons after their teeth which they thought looked like nipples. “Mastos” as in breast. “odont” as in tooth.
We’re on a website that, in Greek, literally means “Booby Tooth.”

Two hours of take-offs and landings at San Francisco Airport, 8 to 10pm on a Friday night.

It was bitter cold. And this was perhaps the longest time ever I spent taking pictures in one spot, talking to myself and cursing throughout most of the evening.

FYI, this is a merge of 20-25 photos, each about 60 seconds long. Towards the end of the shoot, the fog started rolling in.

I'm really glad you're here in Mastodon - yes, you, personally. You either helped build it early on and believed in it before the Twitter exodus, or you're part of that exodus and had to leave a platform that you cared about bc of your morals (or both?) but either way, you're here and I think that's really cool. Thanks for joining, contributing your thoughts, efforts, and time, and making this a great place to be. I appreciate it. ❤️

Twitter is now BANNING accounts that post links to other social media platforms. You're no longer even allowed to tweet out what your username is on other sites.

You basically need an attorney to let you know what you can and cannot tweet.

This is unprecedented censorship.

Its that tree in a lake again, this happens to be my favorite shot of it, out of many. It just connects with me and with what Wanaka is all about.

I stood in the freezing lake for hours and ended up buying dry pair of cheap shoes afterwards.

A pretty quiet morning here that day just me and a couple of friends.

I was here earlier this afternoon, catching the last of the day's light. Back home, warm and comfortable I made the decision to head back out at 8 this evening. Minus 4, but still and silent. The sky filled with shooting stars.
