Got the highest praise for a meal I cooked today: someone said it ‘looked so good it looks like anime food’

@skinnylatte That's kind of wonderful. What did you cook? In the before-times, I was told I had anime hair, which was inadvertently true. (It has since become a bit feral, though.)

Um. I guess I missed my mastoversary five days ago.

Just about one year ago I joined Mastodon. Like so many other folks, during the mass exodus.

What a great decision. I’m so happy to have forged such a wonderful community here. I’m grateful for all of you. Thanks for being awesome and having me in this rad corner of the web. 🙌🏻

@markwyner Congrats, I'm glad you're here, too.

@skinnylatte The house as it is now is pretty great, of course. It would have been fitting if the original house had been preserved as a historic landmark, tho. Many other houses with ties to influential ppl have been so designated with far slimmer connections than Ansel Adams had to his childhood home. His wanderings there growing up profoundly influenced his future work, worldview, and advocacy of public lands and parks. I'm kind of surprised it wasn't preserved, tbh.

So, in my town, Democrats won every seat but maybe one. And, that one is just a maybe. We did a great job.✊🏾

Today is my dad's birthday. He's 88. Going to make some cards and take him Japanese food. Got him some step-in sneakers to help with independence. See y'all later.👋🏾

Some of my acquaintances have really bad startup ideas

@fembot@mstdn.social avatar

@skinnylatte Any examples?

fembot, to photography
@fembot@mstdn.social avatar

It's my one-year fediversary, and maybe yours, too. A lot of us joined around the same time last Fall.

So a shoutout to everyone still around and newbies now finding a community here: Hope that whatever you're doing today, tonight, right now, there's joy in it❣️

@podkaynelives Ah, then this is for you, too! Glad you're here.

I feel like I’ve really nailed my color processing workflow.

I only use the Bellini C-41 kit (personal pref to have the bleach and fix separate. I’m sure other kits work well too but I like this one most).

I’m happy with the results. On 35mm, I scan at home with a Plustek scanner (tried every scanning option and hated this the least). For medium format I collect enough rolls to go to Photolaundry in SF where I can rent a Fuji Frontier for $20/h.

@skinnylatte I appreciate that you've shared your experiences with dev and processing and it's been great to see your photos and experimentation. Is it pretty easy to keep dust out of the Plustek? The Epson will handle all my formats so far, but boy howdy the dust.

@skinnylatte Good to know!

• AI's Electricity Use is Spiking So Fast It'll Soon Use As Much Power as an Entire Country

"A recent analysis published in the journal Joule found that by 2027, these server farms could use anywhere between 85 to 134 terawatt hours of energy per year.

"That's roughly on par with the annual electricity use of Argentina, the Netherlands, or Sweden, or 0.5 percent of the entire globe's energy demands."

Astronomy picture of the day from NASA is this rare sunrise.

"The dark circle near the top of the atmospherically-reddened Sun is the Moon -- but so is the dark peak just below it. This is because along the way, the Earth's atmosphere had a layer of unusually warm air over the sea which acted like a gigantic lens and created a second image. This rare phenomenon of atmospheric optics is known as the Etruscan vase effect."
