A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.

Black and white photograph of a swan standing on a dirt surface, its neck gracefully curved backward with its head resting on its back in a relaxed pose. The swan’s detailed feathers and large webbed feet are clearly visible, contrasting against the dark background.

Bill Atkinson was one of the most brilliant, imaginative, and compelling people I ever had the privilege to work with. His vision touched every device you use today. And his heart, his open love and humanity, exceeded all of that.

I always said you can’t have two Prima Donnas in a single production, and #Trump and #Elon would have a public falling-out. I just wish it happened before Elon’s douche army gutted Federal services.

5 years ago today. George Floyd was murdered by a racist cop who knelt on his neck and choked him for over 9 minutes.
I was only a kid back in 2020 but I remember seeing this on TV and it shocked tf out of me and knew it was cops v us.
Remember George today but also all the other black men murdered by cops.
Preciate if yall could boost this🙏🏿
