The little-known Sicilian town that feeds the world’s almond craze
With its Mediterranean climate and nutrient-rich soil, the unassuming city of Avola is home to a millennia-old almond-growing tradition.Maria Salvati (Travel)
God bless.
There is a moral dilemma in photographing those who sleep rough. Walking around the CBD of Sydney, they are in concrete abundance. Not to see them is not to see what is going on.
Yet there is a sharp power gradient here, a cliff of privilege and unacknowledged sheer luck that separates us the pedestrians from they, the dwellers and shelterers.
For street photographers not to tackle this social issue is to foster a blind spot. However, using individuals without their consent, photographically doxxing them is problematic.
I have taken identifiable photos of the homeless before, but it always felt a little dirty. Now I think it makes more sense both aesthetically and morally to anonymise, blur the boundaries, and capture images from a place of we/us.

controversial (?) opinion: alt text should not "explain the joke" or provide additional information that's not apparent in the image itself. latest example i saw is here mastodon.world/@paninid/114888… (and please, i don't intend to shit on this post / user ... it's actually super laudable that they provide alt text). the alt not only describes the image, but then goes on to explain the meme ... but that's not what alt is for #a11y #accessibility

RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ndqnc…
Pam C reshared this.
I honestly think it is time for the people on this island and the Irish Government to take seriously the belief that a Border Poll will be called to suit those in GB not in Ireland.
I don't think we have the luxury to wait anymore, with people likes of Braverman and Farage heading to NO 10, the island of Ireland has to start preparing the ground without the input or say so of the British Government. (English Nationalist if we are being honest)
For Reunification, we have to start the discussions on what a new Ireland will look like - it has to be better than Brexit means Brexit, which was just meaningless jingoism for the hard of thinking.
We can't allow the idiots that brought us Brexit to destroy our peace agreement, it is more important to this island than Brexit will ever be. If that means accepting that GB wants us gone then let's embrace it instead of being scared by it.
It is time to go...
