I don’t often post links, but this Trove of 4000 glass plate negatives is worth sharing. They’re such amazing quality, and one can imagine in each a story of what ordinary life in the US looked like between the 1860s and the 1930s. More photos linked at Terri Cappucci’s Somebody Photographed This.

Moved my individual notes into Bear, and my old “notes” hierarchy of text files/folders is now in a BBEdit project. My shared/collaborative notes are still in Apple Notes.📔
