Add a --date argument to new-photo-post script

If this argument is passed, skip pulling dates from the EXIF data and use it as
the post date.

I recently tried to post a photo that had no EXIF data. This argument provides
an override so the script doesn't 💥 on missing metadata.

+Monday October 6 was the full moon. As the closest full moon to the [autumnal
+equinox][], it is the [Harvest Moon][]. It also happened to be a [supermoon][],
+making it slightly bigger in the night sky.
+
+I shot this photo from my back deck with my Fujifilm X-T5 and a Canon 100mm
+macro prime[^1]. Amazingly, this is a handheld shot too. I couldn't find a
+necessary bit of my tripod to mount the camera, so I made do.
+
+[^1]: Photography nerds will notice these are _not_ compatible components; I use
+    a Fringer EF-FX mount adapter for this.

+## Tech
+
+### Hardware
+
+[Apple M2 MacBook Air from 2022](https://www.apple.com/macbook-air-13-and-15-m2/)
+: mi olin e ilo sona ni. tenpo pini la mi olin e ilo sona ante. ilo sona ante en
+ilo sona ni li MacBook Air. tenpo ale la mi jo e ilo sona ante. kin la tenpo ale
+la mi jo e ilo sona ni.
+
+[Apple Studio Display](https://www.apple.com/studio-display/)
+: I was on the fence about a Cinema Display for a long time. I ordered and
+canceled three times. Ultimately I gave in, and I'm quite happy with it. It's
+mounted on a VESA arm attached to my desktop.
+
+### Software
+
+#### Development
+
+[Neovim](https://neovim.io/)
+: tenpo suli la, mi kepeken e `vim`. ona li ilo nanpa wan pi pali lipu mi.
+
+[Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
+: tenpo sike mute la mi alasa e VSCode. ona li jo e ijo pona mute.
+
+[Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/)
+: mi pali lon [kulupu kili][apple]. Xcode li ilo pi pali lipu tawa. lon kulupu
+kili la mi kepeken e Xcode. lon tomo mi, mi kepeken kin e Xcode. Xcode li pona.
+
+[Fork](https://fork.dev)
+: A GUI client for `git`. I think Fork has totally changed how I use `git`. I
+still use the command line for many things, but working through diffs, staging
+changes, and even rebasing is so much easier in a GUI.
+
+#### Terminal
+
+[Terminal.app](https://support.apple.com/guide/terminal/welcome/mac)
+: macOS's built in terminal emulator is solid. The only thing I miss from it now
+and then is "true color" support, and that's only when I try to install a new
+color theme in Neovim and everything goes haywire.
+
+[Zsh](https://www.zsh.org)
+: I've been using Zsh since before it was cool. My shell config is full of
+bespoke tweaks, including a prompt theme I'm rather proud of.
+
+#### Hosting
+
+[Digital Ocean](https://www.digitalocean.com)
+: DO has hosted my VPS for a number of years. I moved there from Linode because
+I wanted to run FreeBSD on my server.
+
+[FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org)
+: My server OS of choice. It's secure, simple, and resilient, and I appreciate
+the less-encumbered BSD license.
+
+[FastMail](https://www.fastmail.com/)
+: I've used FastMail for years now as my email host. Their annual fees are quite
+modest and they have a great feature set including a Sieve email filter editor,
+and Masked Email for genearating ad hoc email addresses. I've never had a
+problem with uptime, and the few times I've contacted support, they've been
+helpful.
+
+[Hugo](https://gohugo.io)
+: This whole website is built with Hugo.
+
+### Mobile
+
+[Doppler](https://brushedtype.co/doppler/)
+: File-based music player.
+
+[Ivory](https://tapbots.com/ivory/)
+: My Mastodon client of choice for macOS and iOS.
+
+[Overcast](https://overcast.fm/podcasts)
+: My podcast player of choice.
+
+[Reeder](https://www.reederapp.com)
+: RSS feed organizer and reader. I'm doing a lot more RSS these days.
+
+[Transit](https://transitapp.com)
+: Helps me stay on top of bus schedules in San Francisco.
+
+## Music
+
+[Logic Pro](https://www.apple.com/logic-pro/)
+: Apple's DAW is full of features and plugins (far more than I could ever use)
+and it's hard to beat the corporate discount, much as I also love Ableton.
+
+[Shure SM7B](https://www.shure.com/en-US/products/microphones/sm7b)
+: The SM7 is an iconic mic, and has been the go-to for voice actors, podcasters,
+and musicians for 50 years. The excellent podcast Twenty Thousand Hertz did a
+great [deep dive episode][20ksm7] on its history and place in the audio
+industry. I have one on my desk at home, and it makes me sound great on work
+video calls, and the occasional audio recording.
+
+[Moog Matriarch](https://www.moogmusic.com/synthesizers?type=202)
+: I'm a bit of a Moog fangirl, and this might be my favorite of their synths.
+It's just hard to beat the sound of a Moog.
+
+[Kawaii CA-65](https://kawaius.com/product/ca65/)
+: I've been playing piano since I was seven years old. A digital piano is
+perfect for the small apartments I've called home. This one has a fantastic
+realistic action and it sounds great.
+
+## Coffee
+
+[Baratza Encore](https://www.baratza.com/product/encoretm-zcg485)
+: It's affordable and does a pretty good job.
+
+[Kalita Wave](https://kalitausa.com/products/kalita-wave-185-stainless-steel-coffee-dripper)
+: The Kalita is probably the easist single serve pour over dripper I've used.
+
+[Chemex](https://www.chemexcoffeemaker.com/six-cup-classic-series-coffeemaker.html)
+: If I'm making coffee for more than just me, the Chemex is the biggest pour
+over vessel I have. Makes yummy coffee too.
+
+## Gaming
+
+[Nintendo Switch](https://www.nintendo.com/us/switch/)
+: Most of my gaming happens here. I play a lot of Mario Kart online with
+friends, and I'm a big fan of both of the major Legend of Zelda titles that have
+come out for it: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
+
+[PlayStation 5](https://www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/)
+: I also have a PS5. I've played a ton of Horizon: Zero Dawn and the new Final
+Fantasy 7 games.
+
+[Analogue Pocket](https://www.analogue.co/pocket)
+: When I want to play my stock of Game Boy games, this thing is great.
