So, you may have heard of this guy Elon Musk:
He bought this thing called Twitter where all the best dum dum animal videos lived. Substack (the host of this brilliant newsletter) used to be able to embed Twitter posts which was pretty much how Morning!Animals existed. Cute stuff! Easy to access! Drives traffic to Twitter! Win win win! Elon Musk in all of his wisdom — in addition to his other perfect business decisions regarding Twitter — decided to make it impossible to embed videos from Twitter onto Substack newsletters … rendering Morning!Animals a gutted carcass of its former self.
I was pretty busy with other things (I don’t know what but I feel like I’ve been busy?) and hadn’t thought of a solution or how to continue Morning!Animals in a sustainable way. Well, I’m not sure THIS is the solution. But I started working on a project about a year ago that involves images and animals and memory and extinction. I know I know, BUMMER CONTENT. Not exactly puppies in raincoats. But I thought this might be a place where some of the work I’m doing can live. I don’t know what any of it means or why I’m doing it but I’m shooting on film and hoping for the best and loving all the accidents and the loss of compositional control. That’s it. This may be the only post. Who knows. Some of these have no animals at all (most of them!), which might be really disappointing. And it’s ok with me if you unsubscribe! Because this certainly not what I promised when we all started out with bouncy baby animals!

ALRIGHT I WILL STOP AND YOU CAN SEE SOME MORE ON ANOTHER DAY IF YOU WANT. Or you can take this time to say goodbye to Morning!Animals. Maybe I need a new name. I AM TAKING SUGGESTIONS! SEND ME SUGGESTIONS!
