- Bluff or not, when do we stop hosting the long range bombers at Fairford, the nukes at Lakenheath, the support squadrons at Mildenhall? When will we become complicit to whatever becomes the next string of warcrimes, in Europe or abroad?

- Reposted by Jai 🪲📷🏴 (VC59)You're currently looking at fungus (specifically Gibellula alata) emerging from a spider. Right now, there are only six observations of this species on iNaturalist! 📷 cajqld on iNaturalist 📍 Australia 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay
- Reposted by Jai 🪲📷🏴 (VC59)"Chivalry" mine arse. I've seen the same bastards who speak of mercy and piety put villages to the torch, and any man found therein of age to sword.
- Conclusions from my first roll of film: 1. I need to start cleaning my cameras before I shoot them so that the emulsion isn't scratched to high heaven 2. Black and White is way easier than I expected and it always looks cool 3. Pushing Ilford HP5+ 1-2 stops is way cooler than shooting at box speed
- Obligatory #ShittyCameraChallenge / @shittychallenge.bsky.social tag, shot on Fed-4, which I refuse to ever admit is at all shitty, despite what many would claim #believeinfilm #filmphotography #35mmphotography 📷📸

- Reposted by Jai 🪲📷🏴 (VC59)What's the point of teaching 11 years olds about physics? It's not the 11 year olds running nuclear power stations. Total waste of time.

- Now the EU has done its magic with USB-C, I think camera screw threads are next These 20th century piece-a-shit rangefinders are gonna be the death of me, cause I still have no clue what the difference between M39, LTM, and L39 is. Emotional support FED attached

- If I had a penny for every time someone stole a cash machine from a Sainsbury's with a telehandler, I'd have 2p, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
- Nice surprise today with the northernmost English record for Monobella grassei (approx location = Green dot) Hopkin Checklist places it as 'MODERATELY COMMON IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND', though since then, many more records have populated the map across the midlands. #collembola #entomology #springtail 🧪🪲

- i dont care that theres no feasible biological reason why we should be able to, and that everyone smarter than me says its just vibrations from the machine or a placebo, i am convinced that you can feel medical xrays and nobody can tell me otherwise
