Realized I didn't do a formal introduction here. I just slipped on in with one of the bird site migrations and jumped onto the #BelieveInFilm thread here.

So here's a formal introduction; I am Jeremy the bear human hybrid from the snowy realm known as Calgary. I'm a landscape photographer who is typically found thumping around the mountains with my 4x5 secured on my back, as one does. I trust in box cameras as well, in case you were worried!

@ScottSoCal @AnEnglishHuman Thank you for both of these for an evening well spent down rabbitholes, forsooth.

I don't show respect to people who disrespect me or hold views antithetical to my existence, and I'm not going to "debate" you about the merits of my existence.

If you think I'm required to do so out of some tortured notion of "free speech" or "civility," I'm going to show you just how little I value your speech by blocking you.

Don't like it? Don't like me? Block me! Otherwise you're just trolling. And I don't care.

Is it still possible to send money to Ukraine through sites like Airbnb? I remember this happened earlier in the war.

Part of the reason we have a labor shortage is because 500,000 people who would have held jobs died from #covid Think about that that while your restaurant isn't open or you have to wait 3 months for a mechanic or a doctor appointment People are dead because as society we couldn't wear cloth over our nose and mouth and turned against life saving #vaccines

If Belarus turns would it finish Putin? To be honest I think it likely would.

Ron DeSantis’s war on “wokeness” is a war against the First Amendment

When I came out as trans, I was asked "How long have you known?"

I expected the question, because the popular narrative in media is "I've always known since I was little", but that's honestly an uncommon experience for many of us.

I would reply "A couple of months, and all my life."

It was like navigating a dark corridor filled with obstacles, then finding a flashlight to see the path I'd taken. So much resolved and suddenly made sense when I finally had context for it.

I don't feel like working. Like, ever again.

I've had quite enough of cis white men who think I need to hear their most banal, pedantic thoughts about how I'm the real problem.

I'm not interested in what you have to say. Your opinions are meaningless to me.

@SecularJeffrey did you see the 2016 Dirk Gently series? Surreal fun!

In Britain, it's called a lift, but Americans call it an elevator. I guess we were just raised differently.

Imagine having to be Barbie's sidekick? Either she's a steadfast best friend, or she's seeing Ken on the side.

My partner called me “the sexiest thing on two legs,” and I became concerned for our pets.

Today I want to share something cute with you🥰

@SecularJeffrey midge has seen some shit.

Is it just me or is there some irony or sick humor for the placement of a fire extinguisher next to a statue of Joan of Arc? Just shaking my head here #Histodons #JoanofArc #Geneadons
