Honestly, so true. What a great analysis and I did not think about it like abstract art but I totally agree now. It's just such a great overarching metaphor (not really a metaphor but I'm at a loss for the right word) to make the reader feel dread (specifically for me) which is just such an uncomfortable emotion to me to sit with and I think that's why it has sunk into my brain.
I did notice if you don't use the correct email there's no error and no indication that anything happened. Just stays on the same page with that email filled in. If you use the correct one it moves onto the success page. Don't know if that helps.
You want to enact a poll tax???? Just kidding just kidding, I'm suffering from all the times I made this argument and a right wing individual came back with that.
I'm not trying to start a flame war about film underneath your comment here but I've been bothered for hours so I decided to come back.
Kodak is one of the handful of companies left in the world that can still produce film stock. It's almost a lost art at this point. They are the only ones that still produce color positive film - Ektachrome (E100) - and they also have the highest quality color negative film still on the market right now - their Portra line.
I wish it was as simple as not making mass market junk like disposable point and shoots and Kodak would be saved, but unfortunately it's not that simple. They already own the film stock market - even hipster stocks like Cinestill are using Kodak movie film that is modified to shoot in 35mm and medium format cameras. Ilford is trying to make color negative films again after years of only producing b&w and it's getting better and closer to Kodak's cheaper stocks (gold/colorplus) but nothing touches the latitude of their Portra line. And obviously there's nothing like slide film, color positive E100 is truly one of the coolest things you can shoot these days.
For me personally, shooting on film is going back to the physicalness, the manualness of taking a photo. It's the act of using something physical to capture a memory instead of just taking a million photos on my phone that I'll never look at again. Getting my rolls back and looking through them is the highlight of my month haha. Organizing my negatives and getting prints and making memories is so much joy that is just lost when I use digital cameras.
Losing Kodak to financial attrition would be a tragedy to a small but passionate (and growing!) community.
It does appear that they have ideas on working through this debt and buying time though so we'll see.
What a wonderful world that has been created for us. Thanks for the help I'll get this deployed! I'll probably just put anubis in front of mlmym though I think.
lol I was just wondering because my cats are so fucking skittish at everything so I wasn't sure if there was a slower process of getting them acclimated to different social settings that are more manageable and predictable. Then easing into the bar because I find bar environments sometimes overwhelming and I'm a human!

And a lot of the chemicals used for development are manufactured by Kodak too haha.

When Portra hits (it always does) it sure does hit.

There's a trademark for Linux so Microsoft can't name a product starting with Linux.
