Everyone is always complimenting me on how good I am at screaming, I assume (can't hear them)

When I created this abstract painting, I wanted to capture the essence of tropical flowers rather than something representational. I feel like the playful and dynamic arrangement of the blooms and unusual, vibrant colors helped me get where I wanted to go. Let me know what you think!

For someone wearing transitions lenses, you got awfully upset when I shared my preferred pronouns.

Ukraine🇺🇦 not going to bargain with russia over Crimea, stated Adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Mykhailo Podoliak.

“About basics. The basis for real negotiations with russia is the complete withdrawal of russian armed groups beyond the internationally recognized borders of #Ukraine in 1991. Including Crimea”

Adding that, there is no question of any territorial concessions or bargaining of Ukraine’s sovereign rights.

'What do you do for a living?'

I eat, drink water, breathe, try to get enough sleep and exercise, and maintain my health as best I can.. And you?

No one should ever be forced to abort a wanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to surrender a wanted baby.
No one should ever be forced to endure an unwanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to bear an unwanted baby.
It really is that simple.

Good morning, friends. 🌼🌼🌼

It's Friday and I know it's 5 PM somewhere so enjoy.

Yesterday, I had lunch with some of my former coworkers. Hmmm ... I started to use the work "old" instead of "former," but some of them are indeed not old. Okay, my train is trying to jump the track. Oops, there it goes.

I used to look forward to weekends, sometimes. My old job would often require me to work up to 20 days without a weekend break. During those times I would joke that "Thank God it's Friday. I did this with a smile because other than the weird hours, it was a pretty good job. When actual "take a break," weekends came they were usually pretty long, sometimes several days. I have to say, the anticipation of a weekend was usually much more exciting than the actual weekend.

“Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them.” - John Shirley

Another economic success story from the Biden Administration🙂: The prime-age employment rate is now higher than the pre-recession peak.

And it did so in record time, despite starting from a lower base.

It's been a historically rapid and complete recovery. Took over 12 year to get back to pre-recession peak following the Great Recession -Skanda Amarnath
