It’s a sad day, but don’t give in to the temptation to relapse.

Ozzy would want you to be healthy. You can do it.

A Portrait of a redheaded curvy woman, the portrayal of the Norse Goddess Freya, standing in a field of greenery, holding a greatsword, dressed in shimmering flowing dress and armor. A cat runs at her feet. Golden hour of day, light streaming

Feel free to be the #typeofwoman who wears #armor and has #cats for friends ;)

May the 4th Be With You 😉

Nonprofit BioMADE picks Maple Grove for its $132M flagship plant The pilot facility, which the state of Minnesota and U.S. Department of Defense helped pay for, is meant to kick-start the national bio-economy.

As a global leader in agriculture and with a skilled workforce second to none, we’re bringing the innovative manufacturing jobs of the future to Minnesota.

Grateful to the leadership of @mccollum.house.gov in getting this across the finish line.

It's the "couple walking together and the dude turns to look at another woman while his partner looks at him in disgust" meme. Only, the other woman in this version is Medusa in a red dress. Obviously, the man has turned to stone as a result of his stare, and his girlfriend has not. I hope she can get her hand out of his and move on with her life. (And yeah, it's been edited so that they're all wearing ancient-Greek-inspired clothes. I really hope this was made by an actual human and not done with AI, but I'm not confident.)

Okay, we can turn off the internet. I found the best one.

I feel this in my soul

😆

A white plate piled with brown eggs decorated with glossy shrink-wrapped sleeves in geometric black, red, white, and yellow traditional Ukrainian designs

The packaging envelope for Ukrainian pysanky Easter egg shrink wrap decorations. It shows a bowl of finished eggs in a bed of straw with the words: "Egg-in-wrap. Beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs without the work. Fun to make. Easy to put on. Eggs remain edible. Twelve (4) color sleeves"

Pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs) decorated in shrink-wrap sleeves inherited from my grandparents. I can write pysanky (painting with wax and dye resist) but Baba and Didi were busy people, as am I! The designs and colours all have meanings in folk magic and religion #SlavaUkraini #WitchSky
