A Lego figure of Darth Vader with the red light saber and a red Christmas sweater. The figure seems big because it's a close up picture but in fact it's very small.

Love scamming ist ein echtes Problem und hat schon Existenzen ruiniert. Ich habe sowohl hier als auch in FB verschiedene Freundschaftsanfragen bekommen, die offensichtlich Fake waren. Immerhin dreimal Robert Habecks und einmal Brad Pitt: Lovescammers mit Niveau 😉 #lovescamming #betrug #fakeprofile

Today marks 80 years of the UN General Assembly.

The mission:

🛡️ Uphold world peace and security
⚖️ Promote social progress & human rights
🌏 Tackle global issues, like climate change

Back then, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must do the same.
The text in black on grey texture background reads: ‘80 years ago, the world chose dialogue over violence. Today, it’s still the right choice.’ The EU logo in bla in the top right corner.

Today is a special day for Italian children. A special witch called Befana brings them socks filled with sweets but if they haven't been good during the last year she also brings them coal. How do say "witch" in different European languages? ⬇️ From "Babbel". #befana #witch
A map of Europe created by Babbel showing the different names of "witch" in many European languages, such as "Sorciere" in French, "Strega" in Italian, Hexe in German, Bruja in Spanish and many others.

Artichokes salad is a classic for NYE in my family. These sort of artichokes comes from Sardinia and is very thorny. The external parts could be also eaten as crudités with oil and salt. #cooking #italy #nye
Artichokes is the flour of the plant cynara cardunculus which is eaten as a bud. Here you see the main part of the bud which is cut in slices and eaten as a salad. The colours are from green to yellow and purple. External part of some artichokes with thorns and lemons. Lemon juice prevent the oxidation of the row artichokes, which is full of iron.
