Jim Mortram : SMALL TOWN INERTIA
@smalltowninertia
With my community I help make long form photography stories that broadcast the realities of being marginalised. Pre orders
Patience they say is a virtue… I’m really trying to be virtuous!.
The volume of evidence I have provided to restore these accounts is bonkers. How a receipt paying for ads for the first edition of Vol2 of SMALL TOWN INERTIA that pre dates the hack & still they state no evidence of my owning the accounts. It’s still ‘under review’.
Why fight?… because the Instagram has videos of Simon before he passed, & Jimmy… their reactions to the SIDE gallery opening.
I wanted to give a quick update on where I am in the fight with META & try to demonstrate the efforts I've put in to getting the social media for SMALL TOWN INERTIA restored. It's exhausting!. Thank you all so much for the support. X
If you have to climb a mountain to take the fight to the top, show me the mountain. I may be one of 3.8 billion but META fucked with the wrong one.
5 hours a day (min & in truth it should be 11pm to 6am) for six months. Close to 10,000 documents, screengrabs & exculpatory evidence. Maybe the only thing I detest more is when someone speed reads an interview with me, lifts my quotes & repeats them as their own.
Hi @petapixel @FlakPhoto @guardian @nytimesphoto @rpsdoc or #tag your favourite photo blog & #rt #takingontrillionaires #smalltowninertia many thanks 🙏
It’s endless, seemingly but I will not give up. In between fighting stalkers, hackers, ptsd, I’ve been fighting META for 5 months. I’m not fighting for my photography, I’m fighting for my community & their ability to have their testimony amplified.
I should hopefully have full return & control of all my social media accounts this week. People have been so supportive, to which I’m incredibly moved. A handful took the opportunity to spread more lies. It’s as though a real working class communities testimony, for they, must be silenced.
Grr. Thanks to be hacked weeks ago, the hack that’s caused all my social media account woes, I have jokers trying to buy shopping from my PayPal (yes passwords & 2fc enabled) as if I would order food to be delivered to Manchester when I’m in East Anglia!.
Feeling great today as I was able to get out for an hour & hand deliver to James his copies of SMALL TOWN INERTIA 1 & 2. It was good to hang out with my buddy, Koda came too!.
Some of the comments are harrowing stories from those living & experiencing, some are deluded assumptions from the grossly ignorant. I stand by the question, why shouldn’t Carers Allowance at the least be p/hour equal to the min wage?. Carers save the state £184 billion p/y
#smalltowninertia A little of the feedback received for vol 2.
Last ditch effort in regaining my meta accounts (and considerable audience) is that I’ve essentially been forced to purchase a new passport!. Grr.
As the first edition sold out before even arriving from the printers (Totem in Poland) it’s really exciting to learn that the second edition in softcover has now arrived. Available via www.imageandreality.com
#smalltowninertia Some lovely feedback on both books. (I’m still fighting to get all my META linked accounts returned but it is AI help & zero human) www.imageandreality.co.uk
#smalltowninertia Huge thanks to @totem.com.pl @imageandreality Shipping preorders ASAP. Still available softcover of vol 2 & a very few hardcover vol 1 from @imageandreality www.imageandreality.co.uk
Many thanks to Interpubliq for the great conversation, support & opportunity to share. ✌️🙏 interpubliq.com/small-town-i...
#smalltowninertia Of the hundreds of hours of #testimony I have documented, David’s is so powerful, so eloquent. Here’s an essay about our friendship. medium.com/vantage/post...
#smalltowninertia Hot off the presses!. Vol 1 & 2 printed perfectly by the absolutely wonderful @totem.com.pl The hardcover of vol 2 has SOLD OUT!. Softcovers of vol 2 available to preorder. A handful revised vol 1 hardcover available but selling out fast. www.imageandreality.co.uk
#smalltowninertia THANK YOU!. 🙏 I’m quite obviously in the middle of being a one man PR team for vol 2 of SMALL TOWN INERTIA. Except, I’m not, all your help, sharing, endorsing, featuring is incredibly appreciated & the single most vital aspect.
