A pastelly morning in my Sunday/Monday home

Parked for the night, asked this uncle if he minds. Shortly after he asks if I’m hungry. Then the competition begins: we are offering each other various foods, tea, coffee, yoghurt. Like ping pong going back and forth. Uncle drops a bag of pide and a can of tuna in my lap ❤️🇹🇷

I ca-ha-harrryyyyy the weight of the world … (or at least pretend to carry the weight of the table while looking sad, hoping for a morsel of börek) Ayvalık street dog who knows how to work the crows 🤣

And a good night to you all

"Heil Donald" als offizieller "amerikanischer Gruß" dauert wahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr lange. Die checks and balances versagen. Wie erwartet. Die US-Demokratie erweist sich als schwächer als es viele angenommen haben. Die USA werden zum Führerstaat.

Donkey visitor, my camping pal for the evening. He hung around for a solid two hours

Dog’s life, Istanbul street dog tucked in on an icy winter day. And don’t they love it!?

@aussiemoose.bsky.social now here’s an old face that made me smile

Drifting in and out of social media, mostly drifting out. Yea, sometimes on X Moving house IRL, so life’s been a bit upside down lately. Last week spent in the caravan. With returned winter not exactly a Hawaii trip 🥶 But house pics/ news ca 3-4 weeks away

Anyone here who's been watching this as well? Enjoying it so much www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-...

Mild fever last night, enough for vivid dreams. I argued with Musk all night why it’s nice to be nice 🥴🥴🥴🥴

I could watch this rant on repeat all day www.instagram.com/reel/DDcC87K...

I’m waiting for his next speech where he pulls down his trousers. Australia is ready

Media organisations that condemned a watermelon as anti-semitic tentatively label Musk Nazi salute "odd", "questionable”

I wrote this essay in October 2023 on the rise of fascism in Germany. www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... Two nights ago I walked past two new and huge far-right election adverts, metres from where I had witnessed a potentially fatal attack. Two years ago it would have been unthinkable to see them there.

So many tweets about the other awkwardasfuck billionaire who runs the US now. I won’t speculate if it that salute was deliberate. We can assume he has some sort of gross motor control. However a few weeks after meeting with far right German AfD this is not a good look

Ayyy that Bodrum winter feeling

I see lots of new followers, Foggy brain today from a head cold, I make sure to follow back the next few days. The service of “quite useless but pretty posts from Turkey” will resume shortly

Poking my head in again to say hi to old neighbours and tweeps

The noisy neighbors 🌙😊 Owl hooting this time of year is such a nice touch

I get myself so lost with these details of my grandfather's letters and photos. Fighter pilot bloody-mindedness — hard core genealogy 🤣 Finally I have answers, took some wild guessing, emailing, very helpful Slovenians, and Google map.

The bots are all here now 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Coincidence that kind is the opposite of c^nt?? 😃

The weird “hello, how are you” DMs have begun here …. 2 within a couple of hours 🤯🤬

Winter wonderland near Istanbul (Kartepe = Snow Hill)

German article about the epidemic killing of women by their former partners, or intended killing bc she's a woman. Worth having a look. Note, last para: In Italy, Spain and Belgium there's a specific law that separates murder from femicide already. taz.de/Gewalt-an-Fr...

Anyone else here who says thank you to ChatGPT after you got something helpful out of it?

Today’s been all UFO clouds 🙃

This morning I checked on my patio I’ve recently put up on my own to see if my handiwork survived the storm or how much blew away. But turns out, something big blew in ☺️❤️🐾

This is the most bizarre hill to die on, and with approx 5-6 months to go until an election, it's an even more bizarre hill to risk votes over Cost of living Anthony - cost of living The man's determined to drive the tractor through the fence *and* through the shed before he drives it into the dam

I facebook/social media-stalked a potential real estate guy last night, and gave him the nod. He seems like a good egg. Takes his mum for lunches regularly I feel a bit dirty but the means justify the ends, as they say

My oldest is on that thing wiiiiiiiild (and No. 2 just got his captain licence. ) Dragging them to Australia as young kids was probably the best thing I managed to do for them, no matter my failures and flaws after that) youtu.be/fU3um_Z6UNs

The US system is fundamentally flawed: to leave someone in charge for 2 more months, when in fact they have nothing to lose, is potentially so dangerous.
