I tried to put a meeting on the team calendar for a "Slack Huddle", but due to a typo, I actually sent a "Slap Huddle". You play the cards you're dealt.

Does anyone enjoy being around someone wearing really strong cologne? My nose keeps threatening mutiny, but I can't imagine I'm the target demographic.

I don't have the words to describe how beautifully deranged Tokyo Gore Police is. High blood pressure romp that doesn't give you time to keep guessing. 🍿

I saw someone on the subway today with a tattoo of simply, "2009". They were too old for that to be their birth year, so I can only assume it was the year they got that tattoo.

Here’s Retsina, breaking in my new futon cover. 🐱🐈

A calico cat sprawled on a futon on the floor. There’s a tan blanket and a grey pillow. The blanked is pushed to one side, revealing a dark blue futon cover with white patterns which I don’t remember what they are and I can’t see them at this zoom level o. The photo.

A jury of pidgins. Five are on a bathroom break. 🐦

A fire escape outside a brick building. Seven pidgins are lined up on the fire escape railing horizontally.

I spent last Sunday in Central Park with my friend Lindsay, playing with her medium format film camera. She taught me how to focus, the F-stop, the focal range, and even got to peak inside and see how the entirely mechanical apparatus worked. So satisfyingly tactile. Thanks Lindsay!

It's a bright day with a metal foundtain as the focus. The fountain has a decorative angle on top. There's red cobbles on the ground, and trees in the background. Several people of various ethnicities mill around and sit on the lip of the fountain.

A big dog on a leash, sleeping outside. The dog's people, a white couple wearing sunglasses, are sitting nearby, holding the leash.

Green water with two box turtles, just their shells poking out from the surface.

Green water with bushy, green plant clusters popping out in curated clumps. There's a fountain spilling water down in sparkled drops in the top left edge.

A castle looking structure shot from a low angle against a bright blue sky. A leafy tree with twisting branches hangs between the viewer and the castle.

A park square with many dozens of people enjoying the day, shot from above. There's a fountain in the middle, and behind that is green water. People in row boast glide across the surface, and there's green trees behind on the opposite bank. In the extreme forground, out of focus, is the top of a low wall overlooking the square. A plastic water bottle rests atop it.
