I found @blowdart.me favorite dessert cups
Four Heinz Beanz Snap Pots in their turquoise packaging, positioned like artifacts in a museum dedicated to Barry’s great bean obsession—single-serve portions of pure British comfort, ready to be consumed with the reverence they deserve.

Made tagine and tadhig rice and berry cobbler for @abgushte.bsky.social and her family today. First time meeting them this week and I think they like me and my cooking 😊😊
A golden dome of perfectly crispy tahdig rice sits like a culinary crown on parchment paper, its caramelized crust glistening with buttery perfection, while beside it a teal Dutch oven cradles a rich, aromatic lamb tagine waiting to be served, the wooden spoon standing at attention like a loyal kitchen companion ready for the feast ahead.

More @abgushte.bsky.social being amazing
With arms raised in triumph, a kilted competitor sends a massive wooden caber soaring skyward like a Highland javelin, her purple striped socks adding a playful pop of color to this time-honored feat of Scottish strength beneath the autumn trees.

Post you from a different era
A contemplative soul from two decades past, sporting magnificent dreadlocks swept back like a lion’s mane, round spectacles perched thoughtfully on their nose, and bright red ear protection that could double as a fashion statement. Draped in a well-loved blue Old Dominion University tee, they gaze off to the side with the quiet confidence of someone who knows exactly who they are—captured in this beautiful snapshot from another chapter of life’s grand adventure.

He already won, bros. You don’t have to make me like him more
A New York Post front page from November 5, 2025, featuring a controversial Soviet propaganda-style illustration. The cover shows a figure in a suit holding up a hammer and sickle symbol against an orange background with stylized buildings. The main headline reads “THE RED APPLE” in large white and red letters, with the subheading “On your Marx, get set, Zo! Socialist Mamdani wins race for mayor.” A smaller text box indicates the story continues on pages 4-11, describing a campaign that promised high taxes, free items, criticism of Israel, and other policies. The masthead includes the Page Six logo and indicates partly sunny weather at 64 degrees with an evening low of 36.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The older and wiser I get, the lower and to the left I get.
Political Compass chart showing a position at Economic Left/Right: -7.38 and Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.36. The chart is divided into four quadrants: red (Authoritarian Left), blue (Authoritarian Right), green (Libertarian Left), and purple (Libertarian Right). A red dot marks the position in the lower left quadrant, indicating strong economic left-leaning and strong libertarian social values.

The only position I can recommend is this one. It works really well though.
A bearded martial artist in a black gi demonstrates the ancient art of ‘gentle knee meditation’ while his training partner in white practices the advanced technique of ‘contemplating the ceiling while someone uses my ribcage as a footstool’ on the cheerful blue and yellow mats of what appears to be a very serious game of human Twister with extra steps.

me, an anarcho-communist:
A gleefully unhinged character with wild hair and stubble emerges from what appears to be a box labeled 'SICKOS,' excitedly gesturing and exclaiming 'YES... HA HA HA... YES!' with the manic enthusiasm of someone who has just discovered their favorite brand of chaos is back in stock.

lol, I am one of the most capable people in the world at defending myself with my own hands.

I carry a gun to defend others. See also: Black Panthers, John Brown Gun Club and other armed leftist/anarchist groups, unless your assertion is that these men were “pussy-ass cowards”

Closed the laptop and thinking about the weekend and some great things coming up. Happy a good weekend y’all!
A joyful person with a magnificent cloud of silver-streaked curls crowning their head like a celestial halo, their warm brown eyes twinkling with mischief above a perfectly groomed beard that sparkles with stardust. They’re wrapped in sage-green comfort, their genuine smile radiating the kind of warmth that could make flowers bloom in winter.

The M1911 is both a number and a year, indicating the year that the gun in question (a Colt single action automatic pistol in .45 caliber) was accepted for use by the US military.

A Springfield Armory pistol with a tan/bronze finish sits on what appears to be a tactical vest or bag with a brown/tan fabric surface. The handgun features a textured grip, tactical slide with rail system, and appears to have an optic sight mounted on top. The pistol is photographed in warm lighting that creates dramatic shadows across the fabric background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So @abgushte.bsky.social @amypearlman.bsky.social and @sidneymiller.bsky.social took me to get my face painted by a professional for my birthday and the results were pretty, well, pretty 🤩🤩🤩
A joyful person with twinkling eyes framed by bold crimson eyeshadow beams beneath a charcoal wide-brimmed hat that sits atop their crown of golden-silver curls like a sophisticated halo. Their salt-and-pepper beard cascades in gentle waves while they wear a navy shirt dotted with tiny white polka dots that seem to echo the soft bokeh lights dancing in the blurred background. Their warm smile suggests they’ve just shared a delicious secret with the world.
