I do load the Arri with film that actually works sometimes

Camouflage bar dog

This one is too good to let die on my instagram story so I'm preserving it here

They should serve beatbox on airplanes

Last night @grolar.bsky.social hosted a little darkroom party and man I forgot how much fun doing real prints with an enlarger is. I really need to find a space to set up at least one of mine again.

Pancake Chef is back!!!!!

One thing I didn't factor into working remote is that for the first time in my adult life I don't have access to a printer at work or school to abuse.

I've made it this far in life without ever having owned a printer but I am afraid I'm going to finally have to cave 😭

Oh don’t get me wrong I 100% agree with you. I just feel like it’s weird to exclude flight attendants when we’re expected to tip so many others in lower effort jobs when it’s an actual high effort job dealing with a bunch of people you’re stuck in a tube in the sky with.

On the other hand, I guess it means the ones that are good are simply doing it for the love of the game, which I deeply respect.

It’s kind of wild to me that tipping culture doesn’t extend to flight attendants. Like a good FA can totally make or break a flying experience and it would be profoundly weird if I just handed them five bucks or whatever.

I picked the startup. Let's fucking go I guess.

Anyway since I'm apparently around here for a bit again I'm finally back to shooting 4x5 so please enjoy this photo of my cat

Yeah, this one is very substantially less money, and plus I'd have to get my own health insurance and I'm not sure the amount they provide for reimbursement would actually cover a single plan in Washington based on the last time I looked into it lol

I cannot decide between the safe thing or the shiny thing. The startup would also be remote, which would be cool. Plus a bunch of travel to Colorado where they're actually based. But like. Money and stability seem nice too. I don't know!

One is going back to big corporate aerospace for a big pile of money, and a lead title. Way less travel, probably way less stressful.

The other is a startup for a lot less money but a bunch of equity. Also tons of travel and probably very stressful. But way more aligned with my ideal trajectory.

My efforts to get a new job have paid off but now I have two offers I cannot decide between aaaaaaaaaa I know this is the *good* problem to have but they're very apples to oranges jobs

Every few months I get a random desire to use some sort of social media again so I guess here we are. I will probably be back for maybe two days and depart again.

I had to kill off the rest of a roll of 16mm 50D in the Arriflex so naturally I just used it to film playing with my cat.

I don't have a lot of positive things to say about Sleep Token but one thing I can say is that because a lot of dating apps let you share the music you like, it's a really convenient immediate red flag for a left swipe.

Obligatory BIG THINGS COMING post so you can all ridicule me in a few months when I have not accomplished shit or fuck

I never post anything anymore which has generally been good for my mental health but I'm planning to start doing some things and stuff and I'm putting together a website for said things and stuff so I guess I get to have a cool username on here now.

Wow bsky video compression is really not good huh

I don’t really ever post anything here anymore but I actually did successfully shoot a roll of 16mm which I’m pretty proud of. This is just a raw scan of the whole roll as proof the camera actually worked before shooting stuff I actually care about.

Airlines should give you a discount if you book a flight while you’re currently on a flight

Funny thing about a flight between Seattle and Nashville is you can very easily tell who is from Seattle and who is from Nashville

I've still got room to have this recipe too

No milk double butter is the superior mac and cheese preparation method.

I put new wheels on the truck yesterday, and my body has rewarded me lifting heavy things with my right arm being partially numb today. I ❤️ aging and dying.

You know don’t look at the roof though, whatever, it’s fine

It has cab corners!
