Am I cool? Well, I got up at 5 AM, spent 10p & rode most of Tashkent’s Soviet-era metro system for 5 hours straight. So yes, I am cool, ACTUALLY!

A black and white photo of the Alisher Navoi metro station in Tashkent featuring grand arched columns, patterned floor tiles and geometric ceiling patterns, creating a symmetrical, cathedral-like underground space of light and stone. Almost empty and still, the station waits for the daily rhythm of city life to begin.

A blue subway car waits at the platform under a ceiling adorned with intricate star-shaped and floral designs outlined in blue, reflecting elegant geometric artistry above urban transit.

$This photograph presents a compelling, close-up of a leaf, its surface glistening with numerous water droplets. The focus is sharp on the leaf and the moisture clinging to it, while the background is rendered in a soft, ethereal blur. The leaf itself appears to be from a plant with a robust, textured surface, possibly a holly or a similar species, given the small, sharp spines visible along its margin. The intricate network of veins is clearly defined, forming a crinkled, almost leathery texture that is highly visible beneath the water. The colour palette is muted and organic, dominated by deep, dark greens and earthy browns, which suggests an environment that is shaded and moist. The water droplets are the central feature of the composition. They are scattered across the leaf's surface in varying sizes, from tiny, almost imperceptible specks to large, spherical beads. Each droplet acts like a perfect lens, reflecting and refracting the ambient light and a distorted view of the surroundings. A particularly large, pear-shaped droplet hangs precariously from the tip of the leaf, its surface taut and ready to fall. This suspended drop is a focal point, capturing the viewer's attention and adding a sense of dynamic tension to the otherwise still image. The lighting is soft and indirect, from a shaded location, creating a gentle illumination that highlights the translucence of the water and the subtle sheen of the leaf's surface. The background, a beautiful wash of blurry, dark shapes and colours, enhances the macro effect and isolates the subject, allowing the viewer to appreciate the fine details without distraction. The overall feeling of the image is one of quiet serenity, capturing a fleeting moment of natural beauty after rainfall.$

Good morning.
Find comfort in another. The wide horizons brought from that simple peace opens the expanse in the painting of our lives.

The regime's greatest weakness is it requires our compliance.
They are not rooted in law, not in popularity, they seek obedience through a sense of inevitability. When state govts, institutions, people keep pushing back, this sense of inevitability they seek crumbles under its own falsehood.

My grandfather once told me when I was a little boy that singing the Blues is all about a good man or woman feeling sad. This clip reminded me of me & grandpa's convo.

Look at these three legends.

Should I do a thread on the origin of the blues? 🤔

Serious question, fam.

The ocean pulls us in with calm streaks of white while the horizon bursts with light.

Which mood do you prefer, the cool calm of water or the fiery glow of sky?

My Rep ran away from me yesterday.
Saw him at the store.
He looked like I wasn't the only one ready and willing to open a can of whoop ass on him.
He is disgusting.
Chicken shit.

a large barren tree leans backward at an acute angle to the ground, it's wide and diverse branches shooting off in every direction - well balanced against the soft muddy soils of the river bank strewn with fallen leaves & frost
