#blue buses

So it wasn't so difficult to find "the source of the source" (and this is why, dear comrades, it's useful to not crop out the signatures of photos -- solidarity and access for all ✌).

Those blue buses 💙💙💙 (don't know if they give you an orgasm tho).

And more proof that Alexievich's (and Mazin's) "free vodka" headcanon was a fictionalized version of how liquidators got access to liquor. It was neither free nor State-approved. It was banned and bootleggers profited from it.

Also imagine Valery, deprived of sugar, resorting to caramels to sweeten his tea. 🍵🍬

I can imagine him dipping Ukrainian "Korovka" fudge into his cup. 🤤🧡

A rare glimpse of where the Blue Buses depot used to be located on Squires Gate Lane, unfortunately it's just the corner of the property with the actual depot to the right out of view.

The junction with Lytham Road can be seen in the distance where the traffic lights are.

Blue Buses were taken over by Blackpool Transport in 1996, the livery of the bus in the photo is still only partially completed.
