📰Newsletter News⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

📷Earlier this year, I started an analog newsletter/photozine called HOLD STILL, which is (aspirationally) published on a monthly basis, aka whenever I can scrape together enough free time. Each issue is one sheet folded into eighths & contains ~8 photos + 1 page of text. Subscriptions are $12 for the first volume (=12 issues), which means you'll get whatever issues are already printed at the time of your subscription, then the remaining issues will be mailed as they are printed. Subscriptions, single issues ($1 each!), and other zines are available for sale here: https://ko-fi.com/mothburning/shop

🖳My (extremely infrequent & unobtrusive) email newsletter got deleted before I even knew the company (TinyLetter) was shutting down. I have started a new one the old-fashioned way, which is just me bcc’ing messages directly to subscribers instead of depending on yet another third party to store my data. If you wish to subject yourself to the occasional LiveJournal-esk personal update sprinkled with shameless self-promotion, you can sign up for my *new* e-newsletter via this form: https://forms.gle/PPFMTPUtX7P73tJr7

🗳️Please register to vote by October 7! Georgia voters, remember to check your registration early & often: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

A few more uncategorized pics from my backlog (the rest / the good ones have been posted/queued to @sm-selenographer):

One of Nick Cave's Soundsuits on display at the Georgia Museum of Art in Athens, June 30, 2024 (so cool to see one of them in person!)

View from my bus stop after work, typically 1-3 times a week when some brain genius parks their oversized vehicle directly in the bus zone, requiring me to step out into oncoming traffic to see if the bus is coming/flag it down because there is zero visibility in these situations, only stupid truck. Usually I am, like, apoplectic about this for about the five seconds it takes me to snap a (non-identifying) photo & draft a shitpost, which I later delete in the interest of not adding more rage to the internet. Anyway, if you are not driving the bus, please stay the fuck out of the bus zone.

Ok I love the post office but goddamn this is the bleakest most liminal advertisement I have ever received, congrats on your new drop ceiling I guess?

Fuck yeah airplane pulling a banner advertising ABORTION PILLS BY MAIL, as seen from downtown Athens on the Friday evening of Homecoming Week, October 4, 2024

Spoooooky snowman built by some neighborhood kids, January 10, 2025 (one of the I think 2 snow days we got all winter ’24-’25?)
