Polaroid of the Day
Once a month
the beard goes away. Then it comes back.
I really don’t like posting pictures of myself, and I fucking hate selfies, but, well, shaving.
Polaroid of the Day
Catching up from the weekend.
This was made using Impossible Project film for 600 series cameras, but put into a pinhole camera and exposed indoors under natural lighting for 10 seconds. The film is expired.
Those are steel drums on the right.

Polaroid of the Day
Time to deal with my analog problems.
I bought these Double Seconds steel drums from Panyard in Akron, OH, in 1996 when I lived in Long Creek, SC. They’ve spent most of that time in storage. I was going to sell them, and then I decided to learn to play them.
Fun.
Today’s Geo-Quiz
Where was this photo taken? ca. 1979
Depression in Teenage Girls and Young Women: Is it getting worse?
Yes, that does seem to be the case, in spite of increased awareness, better medications, and supposedly less stigma.
And this from the peer-reviewed journal Pediatrics
RESULTS: The 12-month prevalence of MDEs increased from 8.7% in 2005 to 11.3% in 2014 in adolescents and from 8.8% to 9.6% in young adults (both P < .001). The increase was larger and statistically significant only in the age range of 12 to 20 years. The trends remained significant after adjustment for substance use disorders and sociodemographic factors. Mental health care contacts overall did not change over time; however, the use of specialty mental health providers increased in adolescents and young adults, and the use of prescription medications and inpatient hospitalizations increased in adolescents.
My blocked list on Facebook is getting longer
I don’t block people because they’re idiots. I block people because if I don’t, I waste my time arguing with idiots. Which makes me an idiot, of sorts.
What does my daughter Zahava, who lives in DC, and Sarah Palin have in common?
Answer: Both can see Russia from their house.
Tifney Terry-Franks Just about as funny as Obama who claimed to visit all 57 states.
Richard Lerner One was a misspeak. The other was a blatant attempt at self-puffery. Please examine your biases.
Richard Lerner My point exactly. You don’t even think you have any, which is the definition of bias.
Tifney Terry-Franks What bias Richard Lerner? Please feel free to enlighten all as you seem so all knowing? In this scenario only please.
Richard Lerner The fact that you conflate a statement where someone clearly misspoke with a prepared talking point that borders on the ridiculous pretty much says it all. If you can’t see the failure of the logic that allows that then it would be like me trying to explain music to the tone-deaf.
Tifney Terry-Franks Right. He clearly misspoke. Amusing how liberals misspeak and conservatives are just stupid in the eyes of a liberal. I am not the one tone deaf sir.
Richard Lerner Prepared idiocy vs. misspeaking? What on earth don’t you get? That you CAN’T get it really shows where you are coming from.
Richard Lerner And now I have to block you, because I’m wasting my time arguing with the tone deaf. Really, it’s not you. It’s me.
Tifney Terry-Franks No I get it. You like others want to discredit Palin at face value because you think she is stupid/ignorant. Shows where you are coming from, she is not a stupid or an ignorant person.
Block me as you please. It will have no impact on me or my day.
Nahla Nimeh-Lewis Please block her, I don’t need to feel so dismayed by a country I voluntarily adopted and loved I shall also do the same
