morning time @ 24mm

This was my first time consistently using such a wide focal length. I wasn't necessarily sure that I would be successful, as it wasn't even a year ago that I found it impossible to shoot under 85mm, and transitioning to using a 35mm regularly was very painful for me, and forced me to learn a lot about composition. However, as I develop as a photographer, I do find myself drawn to wider and wider focal lengths. Was I successful? What do you think?

Hey I've had no donations in about a week and I really need help with food and my electric bill. My food stamps are off for the foreseeable future and the heatwave ballooned my bill a great deal.

I'm expecting a small payout from my start teaching soon but its not enough to cover either.

I'm setting a goal for 300 for groceries and bills. Okay.

Thank you for the grace and aid.

0/300

One of the most dangerous things in the world is not being able to say no to people because you don't want to upset them or dissapoint them. This will completely ruin your life in every way possible, at work, in your private life, your sex life and your friendships. It's a way of removing your own consent in your own decisions and go against your wishes, it is always a crime against yourself. Let yourself have a say. Upsetting people is better than traumatizing yourself.

it's good that we're saying "i don't feel guilty about pleasure im not Catholic" but we also need to start saying "i don't feel self-righteous about being overworked I'm not Puritan"

I don’t think people realize what keeping the internet running and producing most tech they use entails like. Physically, labor-wise, energy-wise.

I think a lot of times I see people talk about this stuff in relation to AI. It's right to talk about it, but I hate when people act like AI is the only tech that has these problems. What you see with AI now is a reflection of the broader tech and internet industry that has grown for the past 20-30 years.
