finally today i got two months worth of film back. taken in oregon city, our original plans of searching for animal bones along the train tracks were ruined because someone set the old paper mill on fire. it was cold and overcast, but we were undeterred and had a good time wandering on some familiar paths

oh my god...

so the first screenshot is trying to look this up on tiktok normally, "donald trump rigged election" and it says that search violates community guidelines.

the second screenshot is looking up the same exact thing, but with a (australian) vpn on. canadian vpn didn't fix it fyi.

THIS is exactly the type of censorship to be looking out for on tiktok. this actually is crazy.

TikTok is now censoring / removing videos that mention anything anti tiktok / trump or are even remotely political and making it harder for vital information to spread. I have an AUS vpn turned on and get multiple messages telling me to ‘check my sources’ before sharing and limiting the amount of people I can directly send the video to. Absolutely fact checking is important, but make no mistake, this change is NOT about stopping the ‘spread of misinformation’ and more about containing the fire that’s been lit.

The TikTok Ban Was Just a Stunt

And how it will endear the US to an administration that has vowed to begin mass deportations on Tuesday.

btw now is the best time to keep boycotting. the israeli economy has never been weaker. don't stop the protests or the demands for divestment. keep supporting organisations like the Hind Rajab Foundation and the Accountability Archive. ofc don't stop boosting and donating to Palestinians as Gaza is still uninhabitable.

enjoy this moment but the work has not ended

a collection of the first film pictures i ever took, almost 5 years ago - these were actually developed by me as well. my film class in high school was unfortunately cut short in march when we went into online learning for the pandemic.

Hi I'm one of the Americans that transferred to Rednote as word of Tiktok shutdown got around. I just wanted to drop by and show everyone a comparison that is WILD to me.

These are all in Yuan, the local currency. A buck, two bucks, six bucks... that seems really nice.

And then you pop it in U.S dollars.

14 cents. 14 cents for food.

So seeing the difference there, I got curious and made a post asking the netizens how much they typically pay for things, and I asked for how much my meds would cost. These answers are eye opening.

Eleven Yuan.

A dollar and two quarters.

Without insurance, my meds are 400 bucks in U.S currency.

There's no excuses for this. No excuse for why anyone should have to live like this.

some rainy day film. i don't have anything new at the moment, film gets expensive
