I'm not the only person who questions the type of "freedom fighter" who aligns with the US at a time like this.

The US literally this week has blind sided pretty much all of it's world partners, you saw what we did in Afghanistan etc, why on earth would anyone think partnering with the US is a wise move?

🎶 It's the most wonderful time of the year. 🎶

Well, it's the time of year my local Italian restaurant has a festive pizza back on the menu.

It's genuinely a wonderful thing. I anticipate I may need to have lunch out more than once this week. 😄

Christmas Camembert Pizza. A delicious and very festive lunch, focusing on a close-up, top-down shot of a seasonal pizza. The pizza itself is beautifully prepared, featuring a well-baked crust and a generous amount of rich, seasonal toppings. These toppings include tomato & mozzarella cheese base, pulled turkey, pancetta and cranberry sauce. The star of the show is a distinctive, round of baked Camembert cheese sitting prominently right in the center, with a golden-brown top which elevates the pizza to a decadent level. In one corner of the image, there's the photographers name that reads "PAUL JACKSON" in white text on a dark rectangular background. The scene is set on a wooden table inside a cozy restaurant. To complete the meal, a tall, stemmed glass of Birra Moretti beer is visible behind the pizza. The background includes a dark purple upholstered booth seat and a portion of a menu, collectively creating a warm, inviting, and slightly festive atmosphere for the dining experience. Let the festive lunchtime indulgence commence!

A close-up shot that captures a stemmed glass of Birra Moretti. The glass is filled with a clear, golden lager topped with a frothy white head, showing many small bubbles clinging to the sides. The center of the glass prominently features the distinctive Birra Moretti L'Autentica logo, complete with the image of the man in the green hat. The glass is resting on a textured wooden table. In the softly blurred background, a window provides daylight, and the bright lighting of the restaurant interior is visible, including red-shaded hanging lights, deep purple upholstered booth seating, and Christmas lights which add a rich, colorful warmth to the overall atmosphere.

I am quite proud of this shot. It's a living turkey. Taken through a fence. There is something majestic and I love the details. I took this photo with a cheap Fujifilm digital camera from 2010. I like experimenting with older digital cameras. Only thing I regret is that the eye is completely black. Even though I took this during a sunny day the eye somehow ended up looking black without any reflections on it.

Meet the dazzling Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris ocellata). This bird is a flashier relative to the typical Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). It sports a lustrous coat of colorful feathers and a blue head dotted with vivid orange bumps. The word “ocellated” in its common name refers to the eye-like markings on this turkey’s tail, which are similar to those found on a peacock’s plumes.

A street cat laying on its side on a pebble path by a well-trimmed hedge. The cat is raising its head and appears to be watching something with attention, appearing to be ready to move from its originally relaxed pose. The pebble path is under the tree shade with scattered spots of sunlight.

Hello! :ablobcatbongo:

Yesterday I started my bicycle journey from the Netherlands to Turkey! 🇹🇷

There I'll have my hair fixed 😁

Good thing I didn't forget to bring my tiny bag of luck! 🍀

"Politische Oppositionelle aus der Türkei, die in Schutz suchen und beantragen, werden wieder vermehrt Repressionen ausgesetzt.
Abgelehnte und Abschiebungen in die sind ein Teil der rassistischen Politik des österreichischen Staates. In der Türkei drohen den Betroffenen Haft und Folter. Wir gehen auf die Straße, um aufzuzeigen, was kaum offensichtlicher sein könnte: Die Türkei ist kein sicherer Herkunftsstaat!

"Der türkische Staatspräsident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan macht wieder Stimmung gegen queere Menschen. Wenige Wochen vor den Wahlen in der Türkei sprach der Regimechef neue Drohungen in Richtung der LGBT-Community aus. „Wir werden aktiv gegen perverse Tendenzen wie LGBT vorgehen, die unsere Familienstruktur bedrohen“, sagte Erdoğan am Dienstagabend im Staatssender TRT."
