@charliejane it was nice meeting you and everyone else！

Latest Pocket nightly has an experimental feature I’ve wanted for years: swipe-to-highlight. 🥰 It trades high-granularity text selection for convenience and speed.

I demoed this feature at a hackathon during my first month at #pocket _eight years ago_.

Now, it might actually ship. 😂

Okay. Fine. Time to stop stalling and go to #Rockridge. There will be tacos and Lesley Evers.

As a rule, I don’t do a lot of photo touch up. I’ll crop, correct geometry (like I would with bellows), and clean sensor dust. Beyond that, I try to do the art in camera.

I made an exception for this image, which is a proper image stitch. That invalidates it as part of my portfolio, but makes for a good “what I did in Japan” photo in the vacation slide show.

@Impossible_PhD and being ace is a multiplier, of course. Not least of all because, depending on where you are on that spectrum, other people’s impulses can feel extremely _alien_.

@Impossible_PhD exactly. It’s a very female problem, and a corallary to,“she wouldn’t have dressed that way if she didn’t want that attention.” 🤮

@Impossible_PhD I feel this. Often people think you’re presenting as a lure, when you’re just manifesting yourself.

It was pretty cold out there, on the frozen surf! I’m impressed that the Leica gave me no grief about the weather.

I get a lot of grief from some people about my low contrast photos.

This 🍭 is for them.

@dskuza @bassrock I think I’m taking a turntable, laptop, an electric kettle, and the Vision Pro. That’s barely enough to meet the friend bar.

@dskuza @bassrock I’ve heard this too, but then he’ll make fun of me for how few gadgets I have. 😂

Decided to take a step into adulthood and hire movers. Apparently, I’m not built for lugging boxes of books around anymore. 🥲

@Ultrarunfamily i feel or have felt all of this. I recommend collecting games over playing them: less disappointing. 😂 Every game is perfect until it hits the table.

Things you forgot you photographed because the wind chill imparted memory loss.

@Ultrarunfamily this is the trap!! You know you’ll need one some day, so you keep a hundred of them!! 🐍
