Listen, with world events becoming more and more outrageous, I implore all of you to spend time with art and culture.

Not only will it keep you sane, it will keep you human.

This Burrowing Owl had 3 surgeries following severe barbed-wire injuries. Thankfully Ojai Raptor Center gave a bright prognosis saying "he/she is looking good for recovery and release!"

Fox in the Foliage

Got another mastoscold yelling at me for "using the platform to promote" my photos.

For the record, I don't generally sell my photos, here or anywhere else. But even if I did, I fail to see why that would be a problem.

Preventing artists from making a living is a strange hill to want to die on.

@mattblaze I hate the folks who think artists promoting their own work is "spam". Individuals making things is the point. Literally the reason I'm here rather than somewhere else. I specifically, explicitly, entirely, want to see what people are making.

@Em0nM4stodon
Very true. A prominent example: WhatsApp's tapping of entries in the phone book. None of the users ever asked me for permission. I don't want this and I don't use it myself, but nevertheless, Meta seems to know my contact details and they're updated with every new registration. That's beyond annoying!
