It's breakfast time! What are y'all having for breakfast?

Watching Family Guy while working from home. My Friday isn't that bad. How's y'all's Friday going?

Went to pick up my new pairs of glasses today. New prescription glasses and shades. Now I'm ready for the summer, lol. 👓🕶️😎 By the way, I'm always jealous of people who can see without glasses, lol.

Watching the Netherlands vs Iceland.

Who's watching the #ChampionsLeagueFinal? Cos I'm here on my couch about to pass out from the tension. 😭♥️ #BVB! ⚽🏆

You either wear a keffiyeh to the office, or you don't go to the office, lol.

Black. Moon. Rising. How's your day going? Hope it's as sunny as mine?

The International Criminal Court released a statement asking that they stop being "intimidated" and "threatened". I just don't understand why they wouldn't say who's threatening them. I mean, say it with your full chest, ICC. We all know who the parties are. So name them!

Here's why I've been so disappointed with The Economist. Throughout israel's genocide, while Financial Times has not been pro Palestine in any way, shape, or form, they were among the first major newspapers to call for a ceasefire, while The Economist said that "a ceasefire would help no one."

My Fujifilm X-T5. Looking to buy a new long range lens. I'd be grateful for tips. 🙏🏾♥️

Come join me enjoy some Phở? One of the best you'd ever eat in Rotterdam!

Life is in the little things. A singing bird, lush green vegetation, a hearty meal, and a mirror 🪞 selfie. Hello 👋🏾♥️

I think you'd like mine. Been using it for years. 😊

After scaring me to death, she's finally thriving. Phew. 😮‍💨

Not doing much today. Just staying in bed the whole day, lol. Got my tablet to watch animé all day. Just came downstairs to grab some snacks, and then I'm going back to bed.

What does your office desk look like? Mine looks like I work really really hard, lool.

These are the boiled eggs they're serving us today at the office. I love that the chef took the time to paint some of them. I've decided not to eat mine. I'll take it home and make it my pet. 🥚

Also, you don't have to take my word for it. Read 'The Empty Wagon: Zionism's Journey from Identity Crisis to Identity Theft' by Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro. He might shed some light on the topic. And he's a Rabbi in the Judaism faith.

If anyone on here is interested in one of my hobbies, I fold (old) books and turn them into book art. Book folding is a way of relaxation for me. It's so peaceful and I love it. 😊🧘🏾‍♂️📚❤️

What are y'all reading this weekend? As for me, I'm diving into the human mind, the state of the mind, what it means to be compassionate, wise and humane, Buddhistic spirituality, Buddhism, paganism, and the path to individual liberation. Let me know what y'all are reading. 📖📚

Find peace in yourself. I hope that when you think of home, the person you think of first, is you. ♥️

I hope you find healing in places where you least expect it.

If you're looking to become paper-free this year, get yourself a ReMarkable 2. Amazing stuff.

Hey folks, I wanna interact with more progressives on here. Wanna meet more kind and compassionate folks on Bluesky. So please let's follow each other. Bit of an introduction: Name's Chaka or Shaka. Nigerian-American living in the Netherlands.

Currently reading 'White Tears, Brown Scars: How White Feminisn Betrays Women of Colour' by Ruby Hamad, and I'm so stunned, not just by her writing, but also by the various testimonies from women of colour here. It's just eye-opening to see how white women use their tears. #blacksky

Reading 4 books at once. But giving more attention to 'White Tears, Brown Scars: How White Feminisn Betrays Women of Colour' by Ruby Hamad. It's such an amazing and interesting read. Also loving 'Freedom is a Constant Struggle ' by Angela Davis. I would totally recommend all of them.

What are you reading riight now? Would you recommend it? I'm reading Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas, about halfway through and I'm very much enjoying it so far (it's due soon OH NOO) (I have a couple hundred book recommendations but nope, I am forever chasing new recs like I'm book starved) 💙📚👀

Best I could find was this one. We don't get a lot of sun in the Netherlands, lol. This was me in Rotterdam last weekend. On a street photography walk.

Reskeet with a you photo in the sun
