There's a newer one of this of a fellow rescuing a koala who is breaking its way into a gas plant in Western Australia, but it's only up on Facebook. This video will have to do.

This photo actually blew up on our local Freecycle. Everyone wanted to know about Desmond! No one wanted the mugs!
I even had people sending me photos of their cats!
Oh well, it was worth a laugh!

It is all too easy to believe that nothing can change and people can't change. But this very belief gets in the way of making things better.
Why Some People Own Mistakes and Others Don’t
What helps us to take responsibility for our mistakes? A recent study says the key might lie with your belief that people can change.
"When you believe that your behavior can change, you are more likely to be willing to admit responsibility. A big reason why you are able to admit fault is that you recognize that once you admit what you have done wrong, you can work to make it better, and so you are not threatened by admitting mistakes. People who do not believe that they can change are stressed by admitting their mistakes, because they believe that those mistakes say something fundamental about who they are as a person."

This is ableist propaganda. Just because the system has been taking the taxes of disabled people and funneling them to inaccessible things, doesn't mean that LLMs trained on stolen creativity are the solution. When it's free or cheap, institutions like assistive tech. When it requires their own investment, they usually deny assistive tech. Because they're NOT about making things accessible. They could have done that ages ago.
Please don't boost ableist propaganda.

I think my #C41 chems are shot. Been in accordion bottles for 2 months or so, and I was worried at how dark the developer was. Ended up getting 10 rolls out of it, although it’s been a month or so since the last one so I guess I’m not surprised. This was my first attempt at long exposures - most of these were 3-5 seconds. I’d say they’re underexposed if it weren’t for the brown developer and the fact I can barely see numbers in the border.

#C41 #FilmPhotography #AnalogPhotography #BelieveInFilm Well, maybe not - first scan just came through and I reversed it (need to take out dust specks, etc.) and it's...not bad. Actually pretty much the exposure I was looking for when I took these.
Still have the stupid purple line my scanner makes - I've cleaned it over and over again. Definitely saving up for an #Easy120.

'Hanging On'
A beautiful, large ancient oak tree with some remnants of autumn colour on a cold, frosty winter's morning. I've got many images of this tree, but I hope one day to have a set of nearly identical images through the different seasons.
