And I think I found some of the missing tiles here (see first photo in my post below), what a shame artsandculture.google.com/asset/three-...

And of course Elif Shafack is another chocolate baklava (or chocolate künefe, the same wrecked vibe after all); made for westerners' taste in a disguise of authentic oriental theme, and no Middle Eastern (incl. we Türks) with self respect would ever taste either of them.🤣

The color gradients😍😍😍

Eating out anyway no matter the cold or the rain😁

For #ReliefWednesday, a Greek votive depiction of a sacrifice honoring Aphrodite. The goddess herself is present, sitting on a rock to presumably bring herself closer to her supplicants. We have a full family here, with the children leading the sacrificial ram. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ 📸 me #MANN

I am reading Cloud Atlas rn (yes I had watches the movie before) and I really wonder why this book is, don't know, undervalued

We don't watch TV usually and when we do it's just some wildlife documentary. Dad's sleeping over tonight and rn we're watching a Turkish dizi on tv in which a debatable wedding interrupted with a man hijack ended with the miscarriage(?) of the pregnant bride (and this was just the 5 minutes of it).

Cutie😍

Older than Stonehenge, older than the pyramids... Ġgantija Archaeological Park, Malta These little bready divas are 5,000 years old 🍞

#Egyptian ear studs for #GlassObjectThursday. Made from coils of green, black, blue, yellow and white glass and shaped to resemble a papyrus column with widely flaring umbel. May have been used as a pendant. c.1550 BC - 1069 BC. #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBlueSky 📷 Liverpool World Museum (M11549b)

I feel like I didn't praise enginar dolması as much as it deserved Next time I'll add raisins and lemon peel too in the filling and I think this will help me see visions of bodiless angels around😍🤤❤️✨

Sipping my coffee ☕️ thinking about these marvellous Minoan cups! So modern-looking it’s incredible to think they were made by Bronze Age potters 3,800 years ago! Known as Kamares Ware, these luxury ceramics were made in palace workshops. Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology 🏺

Bildiğiniz gibi, Erdoğan'ın İsrail'i kınadığı sırada oğlunun gemisinin İsrail'de olduğunu tespit ettim. Gemiyi Marinetraffic'te buldum. Şirketi İTO kayıtlarında gösterdim. X'ten yayınladım. Marinetraffic detaylı aramayı kısıtladı. İTO kişiye göre sorgulamayı kaldırdı. X hesabım sansürlendi.

Meanwhile in Turkey: The lawyer of the lawyer of İstanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu was detained today. Or, they detained the lawyer of Ekrem İmamoğlu's lawyer. Or, İstanbul Mayor's lawyer Mehmet Pehlivan (who was already previously detained) found his lawyer Yiğit Gökçehan Koçoğlu detained today.

An earthquake of 6,2 mag has happened in İstanbul today and the mayor of the city is able to say something about it only hours later via his lawyer, as he's f🍆king jailed! We Turks are doing our best to keep suffering, and geology is helping us.

There is a bat flying in front of me rn😍

Thank you AI but I need stuff like "pomodoro means golden apple" to think when I am chopping onions at the kitchen, I'll rather keep learning

On the other hand an artichoke is all thorns and hard leaves and chokes- 100000 years of human evolution and we could not domesticate it better.😬

Marvellous Minoan jug made by a master potter 3,500 years ago! The ‘Poros Ewer’ is decorated with ‘Marine Style’ imagery depicting an underwater world. Nautili swim among rocks and seaweed, embellished with relief seashells. Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 me #ReliefWednesday #Archaeology

"But how would we track its (my long anticipated parcel's) course *within* Turkey with a foreign delivery code?" asked I, at the post office where I went to learn about its hopeless-looking fate. "We don't need to" said officer. "But if it's lost after entering TR?" "That's impossible." said she.
