If you think you look better with it on, then chances are you do look better with it on, because you'll feel hotter and more confident! So wear it :)

This magpie was a very good model. They complied with all of my posing requests to give this wonderful golden hour shot :)

I don't know about beautiful data. That's scary data :/
I will defederate from any instance with admins that excuse transphobia. If that makes our part of the Fediverse quite small, that sucks, but it is what it is. I moved here to get away from social media that won't take action on transphobia. I'm not suddenly going to decide it's ok if it means we get more traffic.
If you're leaving skidmarks on things every day, the answer to that is better cleaning, not underwear to catch the marks.
I do sometimes bleach my undies (yay vaginas), but that's never been an issue when I'm going commando.
Artificial scarcity (invites) and VC funding
Unless they start brigading heavily or cross a line in terms of the communities they house, we won't be defederating them.
Their own communities are, quite something, but their admins have told them to be on their best behaviour when engaging in communities outside of their instance, and so far, they seem to be doing that
I'm the admin :P
I feel like I need to do more than just post a picture. In this case, the picture really does tell the story in a lot of ways, but still, there was a lot of pain and trauma that led me to this point.
I started off depressed and angry, lost in life, knowing what I needed to do, but feeling like it wasn't something I could do. And when I finally accepted that I could do it, years went in to it. A quick photo makes it look like a magical transformation, but there was close to 10 years between those photos, and a lot of self discovery, self exploration and pain. As well as joy, and surprises.

The r50 can do electronic shutter or second curtain shutter, but it doesn't have a global shutter or full mechanical shutter.
So, some ELI5 background on camera sensors. Most sensors read the data from the sensor pixel by pixel, line by line. So what that means is that a small amount of time passes between reading the top lines of the sensor and the bottom lines of the sensor. Most of the time, this doesn't make much difference. But for fast moving objects (or if you're panning the camera really fast) it means that the scene can change during that passage of time, which is what gives you trains that lean to one side and propellers that look like they're made of rubber.
To get around that, you can use a physical shutter. Cameras with "second curtain" shutters physically close off the light to the sensor before they start reading data from the sensor. This means that even though time passes between reading the top and the bottom of the line, the light captured by the sensor does not change during that time, and so the wobbly subjects don't happen.
A camera with a full mechanical shutter puts a physical shutter at the beginning of the process and the end, but the gains over second curtain only are negligible.
In theory, there is also "global shutter" which is a camera that reads the entire sensor at once, but in practice, this technology doesn't exist at the consumer mirrorless camera level.
Electronic shutters aren't all bad though, because they let you do faster shutter speeds than are possible with physical elements, and they let you do higher fps when shooting in burst mode. And electronic shutters are also silent
