1mon 24d ago in leopardsatemyface from www.theguardian.comI really don't get why people are so vindictive over this whole thing.

3mon 19d ago in historyphotos@piefed.social from sopuli.xyzDirectly translated, yes. A more natural translation would probably be "Meat Week". I kept the slightly weird wording, because it's actually a bit weird in Norwegian too. I'm guessing it's a conference of sorts, for the meat industry.
