WatchWatch
generallyspecific: I shot a few rolls of Super 8mm film this past summer and finally got around to getting them processed and put on DVD. I really like how it came out. I threw a song on top of it as the film is silent, otherwise, it is completely unedited.  Song: Sigur Ros - Untitled 4 Little brother.

This article on life in Gaza and how it’s affected by military drones is fascinating and terrifying enough, but in combination with this speculative piece on local police/administrators having drone access in the US it’s even more worrying. Tazers, pepper-spray, or legal frameworks getting abused by local law enforcement is one thing, but when it’s military drone usage...

Just found myself angry at a guy on the internet who was angry that other people on the internet were angry but for the wrong reasons. I miss the Icelandic wilderness.

I’m on a streetcar home and dusk is settling in. We pause by a baseball field, waiting for a traffic-light to change. The field’s lights are already on, making edges seem all the darker. It’s empty, dewy, and beautiful, and seems so full of promise, as empty sporting venues always seem to. A dog appears on the furthest edge - left outfield? - and lopes into the light. He’s...
