Mindless Meanderings

Bits and pieces from the corners of my mind. I'm Jeff and I'm a prepress specialist in the book printing world by trade but I'm a photographer at heart. This is my "little bit of everything" blog where you'll see random things I like and reblog, some of my Instagram posts, and some of my personal photography. You can also visit my large format photography blog Scheimpflug Shenanigans where I'll be journaling my trials, tribulations, occasional successes, and outright failures as I attempt to learn that format.

I must have gotten on a list...

In the last few weeks there has been an influx of “followers” ( and I mean a hundred at least) that seem to be “bots”. In any case, all these accounts have bot sounding usernames, all have nothing more than a “sexy” type, female presenting user icon, no banner image, and no content of any kind. So I guess I have to do the disclaimer: BLANK and obvious spam accounts will be blocked. 

I’m all for new followers, but not by means of spam and bot accounts.

First they came for the immigrants. Then they came for LGBTQIA+ people. Then they came for people served by DEI frameworks. Then they came for people with mental health concerns.

If you're someone who still believes that they aren't eventually going to come for everyone ( who isn't them and their cronies ), then you you have completely and totally lost the plot.

“I wish I could be a better writer, but writing is so difficult. I get seduced by visual aesthetics. Because I just like making beautiful pictures, sometimes I wander away from making a clear statement.” Sally Mann, self-portrait, 1974
