Just got out of #Barbie 😍 in VO in deep France - the place was packed and everyone was in pink.
Except for the stellar woman in the Henry Rollins tour t-shirt 😍
6x6pix🚶♀️🎞️ 📷Question for #cyanotype (and, I guess, other #altprocess ?) folks: I'm considering toning some prints, and I wonder: is masking a thing? Like if I wanted to tone only part of the print, and leave the rest untoned?
I suspect the answer is no, but my newbie brain nevertheless persists in having IDEAS so here I am with the unfrozen caveperson-level questions 😄 🙏
Marek McGannAlmost All Research on the Mind Is in English. That’s a Problem
Language can shape how you think in subtle and profound ways. But most researchers only study English speakers.

Omar MooreFifty years later Stevie Wonder’s “Innervisions” album remains his best ever. Some will say “Talking Book”, others “Music Of My Mind” or “Fulfillingness’ First Finale” or “Songs In The Key Of Life”—all excellent. No question it’s “Innervisions”, though.

Kreig DurhamThe Zuck suck is in full swing. In the few short hours since I started using #Threads, #DuckDuckGo has already blocked over 200 data tracking attempts. These include things like "headphone status" and "screen density."
EDIT for clarity: The 200+ attempts *may* have been overcounted as DDG hadn't tooled their VPN for Threads yet.

Since my post about the #DuckDuckGo app and #Threads is still getting lots of attention, I want to be clear about how I actually feel about #DataPrivacy. It's a lot like #recycling. Yeah it's a good thing to protect your own personal data, but if we're being honest, it's not effective on an individual scale. We need good legislation at a national level to meaningfully change the game for the benefit of us all. Until then, no matter how careful you are, you're still being negatively affected.
Naomi O'LearyA public broadcaster should invest at the bottom not the top. Open the doors, hire annually into training programmes, pass on the skills, bring in the under-represented, let their new energy and ideas flourish. The good effects would ripple out through society.
I got into journalism through a training programme and it changed the course of my life. I've seen what that opportunity can do, and I want it for others.

Dan KennedyOMG, this quote.
‘The conversation between Mr. Lukashenko and Mr. Prigozhin was “very difficult,” said Mr. Gigin, who this month became the director of the National Library of Belarus. “They immediately blurted out such vulgar things it would make any mother cry. The conversation was hard, and as I was told, masculine.”’ https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/25/world/europe/belarus-lukashenko-russia-wagner.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
Jon Pinter"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized.
