FYI I don't post about them too often, but I do photograph events for a living. It's not a side hustle; it's my main thing. In NYC/SF mostly but I do travel to other cities sometimes 📸
Want to lecture the man in his 50s who booked the middle seat even though he is obviously too big for a middle seat (if you can’t sit in it without touching other people, you’re too big for the middle seat!) but I won’t, I won’t do it, I will tweet instead

You can afford a seat of appropriate size! This is not the place to be stingy if it means taking up other people’s space!

“Creative office jobs are more exploitative than factory jobs because they demand your entire personality”
Yes - your identity, values, social life, personal brand, and sense of self. Office jobs are far more cult-like in environment than any blue collar work
i went to slavoj žižek’s talk in sf last night and this is what it taught me about b2b saas:
- the old world dying doesn’t necessarily mean a better one is coming. things could get much worse
- hope is an excuse to wait for someone else to do what you should be doing
- despair is good because it forces you to act
- dystopian fiction lets us secretly enjoy the horrors we pretend to condemn
-covid lockdowns were great because nobody bothered him
- creative office jobs are more exploitative than factory jobs because they demand your entire personality
- lying flat and refusing to participate in capitalism can be more revolutionary than protesting (china’s tang ping movement)
- ai executives warning us about the dangers of ai are hypocrites
- the best part of oppenheimer was florence pugh naked
- neuralink could eliminate the uncertainty and awkwardness of flirting by letting us know instantly whether someone wants to have sex with us, turning seduction into something mechanical
- the future of intimacy is two people letting their sex machines have sex while they have a nice conversation
- pursuing knowledge is an ethical duty, even if the consequences are catastrophic
- humanity might eventually create god through ai
- the disappearance of neighborhood cafés, bookstores, and public squares is destroying social life
- falling in love comes before discovering why you love someone
- marriage is more romantic now that it’s economically unnecessary. getting married is telling society to fuck off
- leaders should retire after ten years because they get too comfortable
- just as hegel said the peloponnesian war happened so thucydides could write about it, san francisco was built so hitchcock could film vertigo here

There’s a difference between selling your labor and surrendering your identity.
I freelance because I don’t do cults, but even in working with some brand representatives, I encounter the expectation that I adopt their way of seeing and being and doing, given that they have to. Absolutely not. I will never be doing that

One of the most amazing moments ever caught on film!!!
In 2002, during Big Brother Brasil 2, contestant Cida Moraes was sunbathing alone on the lawn of the house.
She suddenly heard a voice calling her name (“Cida? Cida?”).
She sat up, looked around, and asked who was calling, saying it sounded like her sister.
No one else heard it.
Cida did not know that her sister, Gloria Moraes had died that same day from breast cancer.
Because of the show’s isolation rules, Cida was cut off from outside news and did t even know her sister was in the ICU.
Production informed her later that evening in the diary room/confessionário.
Host Pedro Bial later stated that the moment Cida heard the voice was roughly 45 minutes after Gloria’s death.
Cida was disoriented and emotional when she learned the news.

hi all,
a miracle happened and i was able to find my mother a new apartment to move to. thank you all for helping me in making that happen - your prayers, support and donations have helped along the way
the next phase is clearing the hoard and moving. we will need to hire professional help, as we both are limited by chronic pain. we have two months to clear the space before the landlord takes possession of the apartment.
please consider donating to help my mother and me clear the hoard and move her, or simply share this
love,
lump
ps. this process has been taking a very real toll on my mental health. any help is welcome, even if it’s just checking in DMs, even if it’s just to talk and listen, it is all appreciated. thank you 🙏🏽
