  1. I spent the drive up to Little York working on a lecture about the magic of blessings which primed me such that every time someone said "Enjoy the 4th of July" it exploded in my brain like a firework

  2. Firework with red white and blue streaks that are a little irregular, maybe because the exposure was long and the camera didn't quite cancel out the motion of my hands

  3. Crowd waits for fireworks by food vendors in Little York; that day I thought about a Martin Prechtel quote to the effect that "the feast the only ritual"

  4. One thing I like about photographing fireworks is that they are so outside normal sensory experience and have so much range in brightness that you can get interesting photos with different exposures and even when the autofocus "fails" you can get a pretty image

  5. In honor of U.S. Independence Day, I decided to re-read the Declaration of Independence. This is well worth a read - these are powerful words that are as important and relevant now as when they were written 250 years ago. Here’s just a section of it; you can read the entire text at archives.gov/founding-docs/dec (and be sure to vote this Fall!).

  6. On this #4thofJuly, I am watching #WestWing with #MartinSheen, and enjoying how a true article of #showmenship portrays how a real #statesmen performs the duties bestowed upon by the People for the People, if only we the people actually had a real person of such high moral character to transform this fictional story into reality;

  11. productive morning, not a fan of 4 am but I wouldn't mind starting every day like that. load of laundry, folded the leftovers, collected the next batch of clothes, set up some stuff, cleaned up the shower, cool summer shower, recorded a cat video.

    Now off to video games and my roleplay account until stream time

    “The #Americans were #political #revolutionaries but not #ethical revolutionaries. Whatever their partial (and largely implicit) acceptance of the principle of ethical #egoism, they remained explicitly within the standard #European tradition, avowing their primary allegiance to a #moral code stressing philanthropic service and social duty.”

  13. Fireworks are a waste of resources and pollute the planet that is already on fire. That’s without the noise pollution. And the fire hazards. We’ve been breathing in smoke from Canada for weeks. I don’t give a shit if this is how our ancestors decided this is how we should celebrate our freedom. They owned black people and subjugated women even worse back then. Maybe they aren’t the best moral compass to look to. It’s goddamn stupid.
