As someone who spends most of his time either shooting, teaching or hustling, this truly is phenomenal. It makes some of the more mind-bending aspects of photography perfectly clear. Great post!

I never said TV was essential. Entertainment in NY and LA feeds families as well, however. My Broadway friends who are losing their homes and apartments with no hope of work until at least June (but most likely September at least) might wan

I never said we were essential. I personally don't watch tv, so I'd agree with you generally.

I work in TV, in an environment that's very strict. We're tested up to 4 times/week (I have friends who are tested daily), asked not to use mass transit, and many of us work so many hours that we have no time to do much socia

I am a (white) photographer for an organization where I am photographing a bunch of Black people, and nightly one or more of those photographs wind up on Twitter. This would explain some issues with terrible automatic thumbnail choices we&#

Professional photographer here who does portraits and product. I’d say not “dead,” just very different. We’ve taken a hit, yes, but mostly amongst the problematic clients who say things like “you shot this in 2 hours, why do I need to pay a

I was under the impression that the vast majority of investing was automated, algorithm-based, no?

30 year vegetarian here, not vegan, but I definitely look askance at all the massively processed fake meats. I'll happily eat seitan, but I make my own out of maybe 6 ingredients. I don't know too many vegetarians who eat them wit

Background anxiety is a perfect way to describe it, in fact that's what I'm going to say from now on, thanks.

I've found this to be the case too. Been on mostly keto for roughly 2-3 years, done several short and long fasts, and I test my blood daily. There were days after fasting and then eating something that really should've knocked me

I've done strict calorie tracking for restriction, keto as well as IF. The best I've ever felt was keto, the easiest for me to adhere to was calorie tracking. It's marginally harder if you eat out a lot, but if you cook for y

I was surprised too. It's a variety of "I need X to speak at my charity event," "hey can you give X my contact info," "here's my nude selfie and my number, please tell X," to "X is impersonating

I am publicly in close proximity to someone famous for my job and with a modest (~15k) Instagram following because of that, I've experienced most of this behavior to one degree or another. I was completely unprepared for it and it real

It's funny...I don't drink, never smoked, and don't eat meat or sugar, but I'm not really hoping to live until some crazy age.

Seriously. They don't learn why not doing it is the right thing to do, they just learn how to hide it better.

My experience with both my parents was "I retired and I don't want to use my brain anymore," and they have both definitely experienced decline since retirement. Some of my friends' parents, however, have adopted more of

I’m a professional photographer, for whatever that’s worth. Mostly it’s relevant because I have a camera in my hands all day for most of the week. I’m not a gadget guy, I don’t need the latest and greatest, but when I pick up new gear I wan

As a stagehand, I've spent an inordinate amount of time on fireproofing, worrying about fire, as well as working with fire officials to make sure the risks are minimized as much as possible. Oh and also cleaning up after one fire, whic

Came here to say gaff tape, so seconding this. And I'm an actual gaffer, so you can believe me. I have it on every tiny spot of light in my room.

You can also water many of your houseplants with it. Not JUST whey, mind, but you can give them whey.

Glad I'm not the only one. I read the whole thing thinking "I mean I know Japanese seem to live very long lives but this feels a little off."

I've tried pretty much everything in the course of my lifelong insomnia, and still my nighttime mind racing is still consistent enough that it's literally my username across all my online apps ("rumination" plus my name)

I had the best of both worlds, working as a photographer and in a lighting gig in TV with enough downtime to do all the work on what I shot when I wasn't working. Then, the photography thing took off, the lighting gig got crazy busy an

1 picosecond is about the time it takes light to travel half the length of a single grain of salt. What a Joycean level of measurement.
