As we all prepare to go dark tomorrow while the Fucken

via https://ift.tt/2SMJkvM

As we all prepare to go dark tomorrow while the Fuckening takes place, I’d just like to signal boost that really the root cause of the fuckery is the US laws SESTA/FOSTA, and protesting to Tumblr is likely not going to do a lick of good while those laws remain on the books.

I’ll be printing myself up some postcards tomorrow and writing to my reps about changing those laws. I need to do some research about the laws, first, so that I can comment intelligently. And I need to do some mild graphic design, to print the postcards. Anyone with any insights, any design suggestions, please do drop me a line, here or elsewhere. Anyone interested in writing their reps, please feel free also to drop me a line; I’ll share the image files, if I come up with anything good, or at least the wording.

Call or write your reps. It’s the only thing that’s going to do a damn bit of good.

more photos

Y'all aren't sick of photo posts yet, right? I spent the weekend on Flickr and uploaded hmm about 3,000 photos.
They were all in folders on my Desktop. After I uploaded them, I could then move the folders into a single folder that said when I'd uploaded them.
They're all the stuff I've exported from Lightroom over the years, to put on Facebook or print out or anything or nothing. My mother recently refused to use my camera to take a picture of something because, as she said, "then I'll never see the picture", and it wasn't untrue.
So anyway.
Here are photos from last Christmas, which was notable because we all got to be together.

(Me and my three sisters. L-R by birth order: 1, 3, 4, 2.)

( less artistic but more homey than my usual efforts )

moar photos

I'm just doing my part to keep everyone off Tumblr today, right?

Here's another massive photo post. This time, it's roller derby photos.



( these are the last bout i ever shot and idk if they ever got published )

i can't

ugh i'm trying to finish like, one handmade thing, one lousy handmade thing this whole year, to send to my niece in maryland, and it has to be done and then i have to wrap all the gifts and then i have to put them into the package and then i have to mail it and ARGH
it's not going well
none of it is going well and i just, it's way too many steps, i can't finish any of it and i have hit way too many little snags and i can't see my way around anything to finish it and it's all Too Much.

I got Dude's family's presents mailed off this morning; California is farther away. But mine is. I don't know. I don't know how to finish and i don't know what to do and I don't know how to make it work and it's too much. ARGH.

I have not yet begun anything for my family. (The package I'm talking about is for my older sister's family; I'm seeing the other two sisters and my parents uhhhhh sometime maybe I don't know.) (I don't even know what I'm getting that niece. I have not even thought about it. It's too much.)

ANYWAY it is all getting to me, I've just broken three sewing machine needles and I can't even explain all else that went wrong and I am OVERLOADED.

I would go to bed but I'm all worked-up now. Argh.
