Hey #believeinfilm friends,
Looks like film photography has been recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on a path toward UNESCO recognition:
Do you think it should be listed as such, and what may this do for our craft?
Film photography is now recognized as a cultural heritage in Germany and is on the path to UNESCO listing.
Silvergrain Classics, a German English-language film photography magazine, has just shared the news on their blog: https://silvergrainclassics.com/en/2025/03/film-photography-cultural-heritage. #editorial.www.analog.cafe
Another portrait. Two Arri tungsten lights, one at 90ยฐ with a softbox and one at 45ยฐ without, but aiming at the hair. No gels this time. There was also a reflector but I forgot to move it for this pose so it's kind of irrelevant.

In Conversation with Nathalie Nahai ยท Episode147. Creativity, Uncertainty & How To Thrive In Volatile Times / Dr Margaret Heffernan (Spotify)
"Uncertainty is the only area in which discoveries are made. Uncertainty is the great propulsive power behind science, behind art.... You can't think your way to a painting, and you can't think your way to a scientific discovery, you simply have to go out and explore." - Margaret Hefferman
Great reframe of groundlessness. Uncertainty as the space of creativity Vs illusion of certainty through 'data'.

Snails of Cuba! In the end, we found 5 species, including the most endangered and arguably also most beautiful, Polymita sulphurosa. Unfortunately, we also encountered illegal sale of the shells on mountain pass.
Why? Project is on the evolution and conservation of these snails, led by Dr Bernardo Reyes in Cuba and working with colleagues from London zoo, Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany.

@shiri What about having a policy to periodically purge unused/unpopulated accounts?
This way we can better defend against a bunch of โstagedโ accounts ready to amplify some engineered news/messaging in the future.
So well put by George Monbiot. Applies to our tepid Labor government here in Australia too. People donโt want to be regarded only as economic units, and if you block leftist reform they reach for hard-right chaos.
"The democratic recession does not begin when a far-right party takes office. It begins when a centrist party crushes hope in democracy. When Keir Starmerโs government takes a chainsaw to peopleโs aspirations for a fairer, greener, kinder country, he cuts off not just faith in the Labour party but faith in politics itself. The almost inevitable result, as countries from the US to the Netherlands, Argentina to Austria, Italy to Sweden show, is to let the far right in."

So that $10B bailout for farmers.
Is it a payout for political support? Yeah. Bold move for an industry that talks so much about hard work & independence!
But it's also worse than that. This is a US food crisis in the making.
usda.gov/about-usda/news/pressโฆ
Let's talk about the payoff part first?
@foaylward To be seen. The chatter I'm hearing is "Don't worry, this is just the first tranche, there'll be more!" The first Trump admin certainly had multiple multi-billion payoffs to farmers.
Also, fwiw, most small family farmers in the US are millionaires with above-average household income. Even if the whole $10B went to small family farms, it still wouldn't be poverty relief by a long shot ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ

Also, this is a btop from an 18 core machine with 256GB of RAM with the major load being friendica, a secondary load is hubzilla, mastodon, and miskey, but friendica represents more load than the latter three combined, but it also gets more traffic than the latter three combined. But what I am getting at here, you may want to consider dedicating a physical server. I'll grant you it's busier than usual as we've just returned the server to service after three months of downtime, 7 motherbords, three power supplies, and two CPU's later.

It's no coincidence that alt-right people have taken up AI generated artwork so intensely. It allows bypassing all the ethics and care of typically left-leaning artists. To show the ability to wield aesthetics without the social values tied to those aesthetics is a power move.
