A cave, with a large rock covering the entrance. In the background, some gathered people in white robes. The rock shakes, detached from the cave and falls to the ground. Jesus emerges, glowing halo round his head, rocket booster strapped to his back. He zooms off. He is RISEN!

Post a ship that’s not Star Wars or Star Trek
Winniebago Eagle from Spaceballs. It’s a Winnebago, in that creamy, browny 70’s colour, but as a a spaceship

We are NOT girl bossing Amy Coney Barrett. Please. We aren’t, right?

This is unbearable.
A picture of Amy Coney Barrett looking askance at an old white judge dude in glasses. The article title reads “ACB isn’t what the Conservative Legal Movement Expected” The article is exactly as bad as you think it will be

“Rubber dinghy rapids bro!”
Keir Starmer standing in front of a UK and US flag, looking down at his notes. The subtitles read “there’s a famous slogan in the United Kingdom”

Back then we didn't have much. Life was hard, work was dangerous and times were tough. But my God at least we had each other - the country was united. In my lifetime that has been thoroughly lost.
Chris Evans and Gaby Roslin on the set of the Big Breakfast from 1992. Chris Evans is pointing a megaphone into Gaby's face, and she's looking at him like she wants to kill him. Possibly with one of the jaunty fake flowers sat directly behind his head. The screen is blurry like an actual TV from The Good Old Days. BTW Darren Grimes was born in 1993.

He was very small and then he was very big. He is a cuddly teddy bear who loves being carried around unleashing his expansive and rumbling loud purr. He terrorised our little tabby and she’s going to be delighted he’ll be soon gone. Us less so.
Little black and white kitten sitting on my lap. He’s got round eyes and a smudgy black mark on his top lip. Not quite a Kitler tash but close Much bigger boi, lounging on the back of a sofa.

A trio for you from my trip to NYC in 2023. Tower, gift shop (?!) and 45 presidential seal. When I was flipping off the seal, a security guard came up behind me and said “I saw that” to which I replied “Yup. Fuck that guy” and walked out.
Flipping off the gold, gaudy, flag draped presidential seal for 45 in Trump Tower NYC Rows of white red and pink hats in Trump towers gift shop in the background, with my (slightly awkwardly placed) fuck you middle finger in the foreground A prominent fuck you middle finger in the foreground, with a gold shiny, out of focus Trump Tower in the background ground. FUCK. THAT. GUY.

If you see this post, repost with a bridge from your gallery.

Toulouse, Jan ‘25
Blue sky with the sun at the top centre of the picture, and reflected in the Garonne at the bottom. Intersecting the middle of the picture, three double pilings hold up an iron bridge that looks like filigree.

Trees, soft cloud, sunshine.
Tall pine trees loom in the fore and background of this 0.5 perspective pic, making solid, barky stripes up and down the picture. Green, dewy grass is lit by a soft, misty sunshine just hidden behind the main trunk. Magic.

At the front of the queue like a nerd because I couldn’t sit down any more and already did my embarrassing hip stretch deep squats in a quiet corner so had NOTHING ELSE TO DO
Sliding glass doors, separated by grey metal struts, glass slightly foggy (because of my shit camera not smoke or fog) behind a blue fabric band holding Eurostar travellers from boarding.

and then there is this : "oppurtunities"??
A green background with white text that says " The Story Begins Here Join us as we write the next chapter. Enter your email and be notified of career oppurtunities. Then there is a field to enter emails and a link to a privacy statement. The misspelling is in the original picture, not my alt text!

although it did give ripe potential for amazing images like this one
an angelic giant Princess Diana, smiling, eyes and giant sapphire earrings glinting in matching blue looms over an image of Young Gareth Southgate in his football kit being comforted by Older Gareth Southgate in his managers vest and shirt. Below, an old, slightly confused looking Captain Tom completes the image. It's patriotism-tastic. Just surprised they haven't got poppy tattoos on their faces, to be honest.

Biff Tannen presidency (mark II). We could have had hoverboards.
Biff Tannen in Back To the Future 2. He’s wearing a blue silky robe, a five head and weird blonde hair, looking to the right with menace

A pastel coloured tortie cat, sat on the side of a desk, is looking up to the top left. Out of focus behind her is a neglected orchid in a white pot, and some leaflets tucked into factory style windows. The cat has a long white bib and toes, a soft ginger front right leg and a pretty patterned soft grey, white and ginger face. Her name is Tatou and she is my cat.

A golden sand beach with darker blue sea, speckled with sun sparkles draws the eye to the middle of the picture where two small sailboats sit at the horizon before blending into blue sky with soft, wispy white clouds

So many people, so little cold water swimming good practice
A slightly grey day at the seaside in the south of France, New Years Day. In the foreground is an expanse of silvery grey blue water, with a mass of people (some in costume) behind. It looks (and was) COLD

New Year’s Day swim at Gruissan - 500-600 people there, probably 200 swimmers, many dressed up, all charging into the water at the same time. We went in early, to the side and marvelled that no one had a heart attack
