Ah, photographers ...

I posted some yard art to a local FB group for sharing weird Portland stuff. They require locations, but are no longer enforcing exact locations. I don't always post exact locations because I do a lot of work to find my shots, but sometimes I do. I didn't post the exact address, but enough info so people know the block.

Someone posted a comment 'correcting' me with the address and listed a street I've been nowhere near for weeks. I actually just hit up google street view to check and nope, that is super not the location. Confident misdirection to hide a spot that is like a block off of two mains streets. WTF, yall? It's fine to be squirrelly about shooting locations, but the lying and misdirection is so dumb and unnecessarily mean.

This is (one of the reasons) I walk so much!

(no subject)

If you've seen the news about Naomi Osaka withdrawing from the French Open due to the mental health strain of dealing with the press, I'd like to post this 2020 US Open interview add some important context. Content Warning: White person being painfully tone deaf about BLM. All her masks are BLM related. This is the shit she's expected to put up with.

I don't know exactly what is going on with the tennis scene right now. I was very into following tennis when I was younger, but now I don't know much outside of the fact that both she and Serena Williams are awesome, amazing, iconic and both deal with some serious bullshit they shouldn't have to deal with.

I read a few articles on it and none mentioned the weird crap she gets asked, and I think that is important.
