A little #christmas #shopping advice from yer old pal Ape.

If somebody you know is feeling down this Christmas season, or is struggling, or needs help, may I suggest NOT getting a Desktop Therapist, and maybe buying them some physical music instead?

Maybe a CD, tape, or record?
Or perhaps an old Walkman or portable CD player if they don’t have the means to play those formats?

Instead of a toy asking “How does that make you feel?”, maybe have Jimi Hendrix tell THEM how they feel, through a series of gnarly guitar solos? Or perhaps Frank Black shrieking “Where is my mind?” at them?

This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. If I ever got this as a gift from somebody, I’d rifle it into their face, and then steal their wallet.

Tell me about YOUR mother, asshole.

I thought it might be useful for people thinking of getting into #filmphotography to boost a thread that I posted a year and a half ago. What you see is everything I use to process roll film in my kitchen (no darkroom). I should note that the dryer is optional (just hanging the film in your shower works fine) and that the SS equipment I favor is not a good place to start -- go for one of the plastic tank+reel combinations instead.
