Just set up some new IAQ monitoring stations around the house. Still want to put one in the bedroom to see how stuffy it gets at night with the door closed, but I only had four units so this is what I started with.
Particle counts are Sensirion SEN5x, CO2 and most other atmospheric data SCD4x.

Two small new prints from this afternoon, this time not Kallitype but contact printing on silver chloride FB paper, developed with Adox MCC. The increase in depth and detail is just wonderful and the feel of the final results an instant throwback to my early darkroom adventures ~40 years ago... 😍
The pictures are of two of my favorite places in recent years. Larger prints will be available for purchase in September.

The nation’s largest public four-year university may soon be barred from replacing faculty with generative AI
as a bill backed by a union of professors comes nearer to reaching the governor’s desk.
Few examples exist of the California State University’s attempting to replace faculty labor with generative AI tools,
but the faculty union wants to prevent such efforts from ever getting off the ground.

A pastor aligned with the hard-right Reformed theology of influential Christian nationalist Doug Wilson
is promoting and pursuing a plan to fulfill the “dominion mandate”
by moving like-minded people into sparsely populated rural counties, colonizing and discipling
“Christian settlements,”
and building miniature civilizations based on their religious worldview.
Raymond Simmons, a pastor and podcaster based in Red Oak, Iowa, is the author of
“The Confession…
