I will always be a B&H Photo customer.
You can enrich the dark lords of Amazon, or you can buy your photography equipment from a company that lives its values. They’re closed ‘til 6:30 in the East for Shabbat. I’m phone free tomorrow for my faith (and my health).
My kind of people.
im coining the term 'midwest indecision' where everyone here feels obligated to answer 'well i don't know, what do you want?' to damn near everythin which is a great question to ask except when everyone is miswestern and asking 'idk what do you want' and then the group grinds to a halt because nobody has decided and this deference holds until someone sprouts genitals and says 'ok lets do FOO'
sometimes the truly polite thing to do is to have an opinion and make decisions because if you don't, the polite thing to do is to pass the buck until someone caves and suggests something that nobody actually wants.
STAND FOR SOMETHING!
Stand for Your Beliefs: Lessons from the 90's Song
You’ve got to stand for something, or you’ll fall for anything is a line from a song from the early 90’s. This song makes a very good point. You will either stand up for your beliefs or you will fall for every thought that passes by. The Bible says in Ephesians 4:14, “That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,…
We live in a world of high pressure, low expectations, and a pervasive need for entertainment. We watched, and did nothing, as the stupidest amongst us voted in a group of stupid leaders.
Now, we look around and say, "We told you so."
Did we though? These of us who allowed this o come to pass, are we really the smart ones? Are they really the fools? How is that true? They won.
The other thing is, how fragile democracy turned out to be. It took one moron, and one misguided party, to kick the balls of democracy straight up into the body of our nation, and square into our mouths.
I don't know what others think, but due to their close proximity to the asshole, these balls taste like shit.
Where we actually so blind to the possibility of this happening that we never formed a plan, or created a body of government, to hold accountable someone who defied the Constitution? Really?
So, it could have been anyone who occupied the oval office, who, one day decided, I think I'll just say fuck it, I'm going to spout utter total bullshit daily, commit felonies, molest women, act like a clown, have my minions construct bills of mass destruction that hurt the whole of America, turn our allies against us while embracing our enemies, and get rich from my office?
Anybody could have done it?
We got lucky, and all the presidents before Trump had a modicum of decency and respect for the office they held.
Anyone of them could have done what Trump is doing, because as incredible as the Constitution is, it doesn't have any power of enforcement.
Trump and his fucking disgusting asslickers figured that out, while the rest of us looked at the dragon, and saw a windmill.
They grabbed the Constitution by the pussy, laughed at it, an then formed a train, and took turns violating it. What did we th people do?
Some people helped hold the constitution down, helped the violators degrade, beat, and molest, and even encourage and laugh as it was being done.
Others, well, they stood, mouths agape, and watched. Secretly excited? Taken back? Who knows? Whatever the case, they watched and flipped their hands, and gums, "You shouldn't be doing that!" "I going to ...."
DO Nothing!!!
We, the good ones, the smart ones, did nothing. Do nothing.
We watched a moron rape our country. Then after the damage was done, we came out from our hiding place, and offered to help.
"The meek shall inherit the earth."
FUCKING YEAH, RIGHT!!!
The meek will be the next victims. The meek will inherit nothing but a lifetime of being violated by a group of clowns and slobbering knuckle draggers.
As will our children and their children, and we will forever be remembered as weak, and the generation who allowed the movie, 'IDIOCRACY' to become our reality.
I think it's time to spit out the balls that were kicked into our mouths. They are keeping us from being heard an understood.
It's time "We The People" stood, gathed our courage, and protected the Lady Liberty from her attackers.
She's old, but still matters, is still relevant, still full of grace, of hope, of promise, and We owe it to her. We owe it to her for the years of freedom, years of prosperity, and We owe it to all the people who, before us, fought and died for her, who trusted us to protect her, as they did.
I'm ashamed. I'm embarrassed. I'm fed up. I'm scared.
Also, I'm angry. I'm insulted. I'm... I'm... Fuck THIS!
I AM AN AMERICAN, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD I AM FREE!
Was I lied to, did all the men and women who died upholding freedom, did they die for a lie?
Only WE THE People can answer that. The question has been asked.
How will we answer?
America was created by resolute action taken to whatever extreme was necessary. Were our forefathers and mothers more honorable, and braver than us?
It's time to throw the tea in the harbor, and to face down the King and his clown court, and do so with resolute action...we owe this to too many.
We've enjoyed the fruis of others sacrifice, it's time to honor them and protect what they fought and died for...freedom!
A cowards death is horrible, long, and painful. It starts when they cower and run away. It lasts as they remember their weakness. It continues as they watch children, elderly, the powerless, suffr and die due to that weakness.
It ends? With their death....maybe, or maybe that's the start of their real eternal torment.
Being scared isn't a sign of cowardace, everyone gets scared. How you handle your fear, that's the determining moment, the moment that names you...do you turn fear into resolute action,or do you freeze, do nothing, or worse, bow, take a knee, then stand to take up arms against your friends and family?
Not really difficult choice.

When I told my representatives to protect public media:
Dear _______,
We wanted to take a moment to say thank you and share an important update.
Public media may be facing its darkest days – but thanks to you, there are signs of light. Over the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed an overwhelming outpouring of support from a powerful community that cares deeply about public media.
Hundreds of thousands of viewers and listeners have spoken up, urging Congress to reject proposals that would dismantle public media. We’ve heard deeply personal stories – of children who learned how to read with PBS KIDS, of families who stayed safe during disasters, and of neighbors who relied on public media for local news, skill-building, and access to new opportunities.
This is more than a grassroots advocacy campaign. It’s a movement powered by people who believe in something bigger than themselves – a national community of neighbors who show up for one another to ensure no one is left behind. As Fred Rogers once said, “Look for the helpers.” Right now, that’s you.
Because of this pressure and other developments in Washington, the White House’s proposed recessions package – which would claw back more than $1 billion in federal funding – appears to be delayed in the immediate term. This is one of the fights we can influence, and your actions helped hold the line.
While this is welcome news, the fight is far from over. Multiple threats remain, and Congress will soon turn its full attention to its Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations bills. We expect public media to face many challenges to funding during that process. Between now and then, there will be many moments to protect public media again – and we’ll need your support once more.
We’re regrouping and preparing for what’s next. But for now, please know this: you helped hold the line. And your voice will continue to shape what happens next.
Thanks for being part of this powerful community, The Protect My Public Media Team
