Toots are ephemeral, subject to deletion on a whim.
I've been terminally online for ~40 years, long before the big endless scroll. I've seen things some people wouldn't believe. 1200 baud modems on fire from Usenet flame wars. I watched c-news servers stutter at the mere mention of Kibo. All those moments will be lost in AI slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify.

@the_arto Now I'm imagining dollar store double-oh agent in a covert Camry.
@Gumberculese Ditto on my cards at Morgan Stanley. HR had to approve any biz card changes and did so for mine, cluelessly, lol.
What kind of time travel is Intelcom Courier using?
It's currently 12:22 pm and there are three entries in the future . . .
This is my happy place.
Testing out my new camera. Worlds better low light ISO performance than my 2014 era previous camera. Which I need to now gather up accessories and boxes and put up for sale to defray some of the cost of the new-to-me one. (I did save a little bit by getting a 10/10 mint graded used one from a major online photography store.)
Ham-handed post-processed quickly in C1 and Nik Silver Efex to see what it looked like in black and white.

@ghorwood This part is most amusing :
" But because the Comex commodity exchange in New York, where the gold will be housed, requires a different size of bar, the gold must first be sent to Swiss refiners to recast it before flying on to the U.S. "
I'm thinking of starting a side gig selling photos of my giant big toe on OnlyToes.
@RoyBrander @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca We aren't as in-your-face performative patriotism with the flags as the neighbours down the south. Small lapel pins or a small badge on a bag is about as far as we need to go.
Even when travelling abroad, the ones with large Canada flag on their bags/clothes are likely to be 'merkins trying to hide who they are.
Me: stirs up the dog toy box
Dog: extreme snuffling and nose shoveling
Dog: Pulls out a fairly recently played with one, ignoring the older ones in the top of the box.
Me: . . .
@RoyBrander Doesn't even need to be more than a dirty bomb, or a dummy that they wouldn't know for sure is a dummy.
Girl in ad, after a full day of posing for the artist :
Why do I hear colours and smell sounds?
Updating some keyword filter actions from warn to hide. Enough still leaks through that to keep me somewhat informed without being overloaded with orange leader bs.
Had a power outage instead. Things are back, but I'm doing a catalog verify first just to be safe.
Updating all the photo related software, cracking knuckles, and then getting down to revisiting a project that I did a ok-effort-only on-site editing job of in December. For a type of subject I wouldn't otherwise do. As a favour.
I mean, shooting mountain bikes dropping off cliffs was interesting, but I normally don't deal with moving things very much and certainly not extreme sports. (This is a in-situ unreleased-at-the-time mountain bike being put through it's paces in Sedona area.)
These might be the next ones to go up on my Vernissage site. I should clear that with the bike company first though.
