Ilford HP5 Plus 400 (FF)

English Alt Text:
A monochrome image of a city walkway lined with trees and benches. The path is paved and flanked by modern buildings with large glass windows. Two people sit on a bench in the foreground, while others walk or stand further down the path. Each tree is planted in a rectangular plot filled with white stones. The photo has a grainy texture, suggesting it was taken with film or edited for a vintage look. The scene feels peaceful and urban, with a balance o…

English Alt Text:
A moody black-and-white photo of an urban scene. In the foreground, a tall streetlight stands beside bare tree branches that stretch across the frame. Two tall buildings rise in the background, one partially obscured and the other featuring a triangular architectural element at its peak. The sky is overcast or foggy, creating a somber, atmospheric tone. The contrast between the natural branches and rigid buildings adds visual tension and depth.

Shadows from the furniture and bui…

Dinner at last. Cut down two large dead trees today as they were at risk falling uncontrollable. Was a bit of effort to lower a fence and make sure they fall into the intended direction. Lots of ropes, pulleys and chainsaws involved. #Uckermark

A wooden table on a terrace overlooking a Garden onto a lake and forest. On the table in the front a plate filled with potatoe salad and 3 sausages. Topped with ketchup and mustard. Two bowls on the table. One has a lid on the other is open and seems to contain cucumber salad. A mustard mottle top down, ketchup bottle and bottle of some drink. Scene seems to be evening telling from the low angle sunshine on the opposite site of the lake on the forest.

A path through some lush green bushes and trees. Blocked by some red/white tape to deny trespassing. Same blockage can be seen on the distance about 30m onwards. A green fence on the right side.

A person with a high visibility jacked and green trousers walking towards some bushes and two large dead trees behind the bushes. There are various other trees in the background and on the left side. Large pines and some acacia.

How popular media gets love wrong
Had some thoughts in response to a post about loneliness on here. As the author emphasized, reassurances from people who got lucky are not terribly comforting to those who didn't, especially when the person who was lucky had structural factors in their favor that made their chances of success much higher than those is their audience. So: these are just my thoughts, and may not have any bearing on your life. I share them because my experience challenged a lot of the things I was taught to believe about love, and I think my current beliefs are both truer and would benefit others seeing companionship.
We're taught in many modern societies from an absurdly young age that love is not something under our control, and that dating should be a process of trying to kindle love with different people until we meet "the one" with whom it takes off. In the slightly-less-fairytale corners of modern popular media, we might fund an admission that it's possible to influence love, feeding & tending the fire in better or worse ways. But it's still modeled as an uncontrollable force of nature, to be occasionally influenced but never tamed. I'll call this the "fire" model of love.
We're also taught (and non-boys are taught more stringently) a second contradictory model of love: that in a relationship, we need to both do things and be things in order to make our partner love us, and that if we don't, our partner's love for us will wither, and (especially if you're not a boy) it will be our fault. I'll call this the "appeal" model of love.
Now obviously both of these cannot be totally true at once, and plenty of popular media centers this contradiction, but there are really very few competing models on offer.
In my experience, however, it's possible to have "pre-meditated" love. In other words, to decide you want to love someone (or at least, try loving them), commit to that idea, and then actually wind up in love with them (and them with you, although obviously this second part is not directly under your control). I'll call this the "engineered" model of love.
Now, I don't think that the "fire" and "appeal" models of love are totally wrong, but I do feel their shortcomings often suggest poor & self-destructive relationship strategies. I do think the "fire" model is a decent model for *infatuation*, which is something a lot of popular media blur into love, and which drives many (but not all) of the feelings we normally associate with love (even as those feelings have other possible drivers too). I definitely experienced strong infatuation early on in my engineered relationship (ugh that sounds terrible but I'll stick with it; I promise no deception was involved). I continue to experience mild infatuation years later that waxes and wanes. It's not a stable foundation for a relationship but it can be a useful component of one (this at least popular media depicts often).
I'll continue these thoughts in a reply, by it might take a bit to get to it.

I'm not the target audience, but that second paragraph hit me in the gut
"But for many of us, the first real injustices that mattered to us, that ripped our hearts out, weren't the failings of our parents' relationships, or the boys we crushed on who didn't love us, but the Black girls who we wanted to see us and be- friend us instead either ignored or bullied us."

Picture of book page from Eloquent Rage:
I'm no therapist, but I'm a Black girl's Black girl, and I know Black-girl pain when I see it. Many of us who couldn't access pretty privilege, those of us who weren't popular or cool, those of us nerdy girls who stayed to ourselves, wrote stories and dreamed of lives as writers, grew up and found a home in feminism, a place where we were seen, a place where others were as mad about injustice as we were.

But for many of us, the first real injustices tha…

I was late to pick my daughter up from camp because #NYCParks closed a huge portion of Corona-Meadows Flushing Park. Apparently for some kind of music festival. There was, of course, no bike detour. The area has highways running through it, and the bridges over the highways are cordoned off. How do you get to

View from an overpass bridge sidewalk, showing a chain-link fence at the end completely blocking access to the park. In the background, trees and the big.. I don' t even know what they are, sculptures?

A sign for KeineMusik Soulection, saying "there will be restricted park access july 21st - july 31st to the following areas: skate park, festival grounds, ny state pavilion, garden of meditation, and surrounding areas. The map shows an area of the park bordered by the Long Island Expressway (a highway) on one side, the Grand Central Parkway (a highway) on another side.

A pedstrian overpass entrance, showing 3 offset chain-link fences close together so that you can barely fit a bike (or stroller/wheelchair, for that matter).

A black-and-white image of an outdoor construction or storage site. Stacks of bricks and concrete blocks dominate the foreground, some covered with tarps. Behind them, a fence encloses the area, with trees and a partially visible vehicle beyond. The grainy texture and muted tones give the scene a raw, industrial, and slightly nostalgic atmosphere.

A tranquil garden scene in black and white. In the foreground, blooming roses with soft petals are surrounded by leafy bushes and dense plants. A lone path runs behind the garden, separating it from a backdrop of tall, shadowy trees. The trees form a natural curtain, adding depth and serenity.
