Cursing at computers 100% makes them run better and anyone who doesn’t know this need to up their troubleshooting game. I can make a recalcitrant hard drive mount with two motherfuckers and one asshole.

From my 100 Strangers Project - Carlos and another security guard were standing on the front steps of the library when I asked to take the photos. I think they are so used to dealing with street people that it would be impossible to phase them with any request. #photography

From my 100 Strangers Project - Doug, the old-time rock and roller. I took some pictures of him and his friends jamming at a local park (Steppenwolf covers were tops!) and then talked with him later. He’s been playing guitar for nearly 50 years. He looks the part.

The Greensboro Massacre https://louplummer.lol/post/the-greensboro-massacre In November of 1979 I was a junior high student in Jacksonville, NC when I heard on the news about what the media initially called a shootout between the Ku Klux Klan in conjunction with a group of Nazis and Communist labor organizers in Greensboro, three hours away.

🦷 I spent $3600 at the dentist today which sucked personally, but at least I could afford it. I think about all the people who can't deal with bills like that and I just get mad at the system. Everybody gets a share of a nuclear aircraft carrier and nobody gets dental care. God Bless America.
