David Ramos@imagineterrain.bsky.social · 9mo agoWas trying to find eyedrops this morning. Sprawling university campuses, where the only retail is contracted-out fast food, are lacking in services. Quality is terrible. Whole categories are missing. There’s a drugstore at the edge of campus but that’s a mile away.
Just in from the film lab: 3 snaps from a partially-shot roll of film taken at the 2004 NCAA Lacrosse championship game. In a thriller, Syracuse beat Naval Academy 14 to 13 before a crowd of 43k at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. #latergram
This year, I've been trying to shoot one roll of #film per week. I've been sharing highlights on my instagram, but not here! That ends today. Photo dump incoming!
I hereby issue my #WorldSeries prediction: Dodgers in 6 games.
Still catching up after some vacation days: But last week, the @chronicle.com published an article from my colleague @franciediep.bsky.social examining how standardized tests impact college admissions. I had the pleasure of producing the photographs for this story.
Francie Diep@franciediep.bsky.social · last yr.Want something fun (I hope) to read that's not about huge government interventions in higher ed? I wrote about nerd camp! The story has some higher-ed connections, I promise, and it was a pleasure to report: www.chronicle.com/article/what...
Back to Bluesky to skeet my way through the ALCS. Observation from the commercial break: The Angelsoft Toilet Paper angel babies are…the souls of dead children, correct?
SCOOP: The NIH is moving to prohibit funded scientists, inside and outside the agency, from collecting data about gender, according to a draft policy I obtained. It’s part of the NIH’s aggressive crackdown on gender-identity research. www.chronicle.com/article/gend...
Gender Data Would Be Off-Limits Under Proposed NIH Policy
A draft rule would bar scientists funded by the agency from collecting data about gender identity, following other steps the administration has taken to restrict research on LGBT topics.

And, no lie, those #Reds alternate tops also look so so good.
I haven’t skeeted a #Nats game in a lil bit, but it’s nice to see the boys in their navy shirts. It is the best Nats uniform by far.
“Carrie carried the curry carry out to Farragut Square” might be DC’s version of “Aaron Earned an Iron Urn” #dmvaccent
I went to a DC Breeze pro ultimate frisbee game today. I saw a rare play, a “dropped pull”, twice, both times committed by Montreal Royal.
This might be the weirdest Nats game of the season so far.
The new Jagermeister commercial where a bartender is headbutted - and by implication - gored and presumably killed by a magical stag for the sin of serving Jagermeister warm: what lesson am I supposed to derive from this?
Just getting back on this app after a busy day. A few things: 1) Go #Nats. We are so back. 2) Vida Taco’s downtown Annapolis location is killer. Get the soft shell crab taco.
Why hasn’t Congress impeached Davey Martinez yet? Are they stupid? #Nats
DC’s version of “Aaron earned an iron urn” might well be “Carrie had curry carry out.” #DMV
UFL league action: DC Breeze beats NY Empire 23-15 to improve to 4-3 on the season. Empire falls to 5-3. DC holds onto 3rd place in the East division.
At a DC Breeze pro ultimate frisbee game. DC up 20 - 15 over NY Empire with 4:40 left in the 4th quarter.
Having a lovely night sitting on my apartment stoop in Adams Morgan, listening to the #Nats game on the radio as the sun sets.
Workers move partitions meant to mimic bushes as they prepare an entrance for a private event at Union Station in Washington, D.C., this past May. #streetphotography #35mm #photography
Sideling Hill in Hancock, Md., taken this past Memorial Day. In my #photography, I try to find images with meaning available in them. And in Sideling Hill, I find a lot of "meaning" available. Like it's crazy we did this for a highway, IMO. This is my attempt to put that feeling into a #Polaroid.
Was about to go to bed, but this #Nats game has gotten annoyingly close.
I'm also keeping the #MINvsSEA game on in the multiview, tied 4-4 in the 10th.
