HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights June 16, 2025

When Tese alighted from the train, he knew that what he was running from would not find him here. A strange calm wrapped itself around him like a warm blanket. Ibadan was nothing like Lagos. No buzz or rumble ...

(English) Your fortune is gone Author: @nachomolina2 Author's Note: Before I begin, I must clarify that I will repeatedly use in the context of this story the phrase: "Nǐ de cáifù xiāoshīle", which refers to the phonetic form of a possible pronunciation adapted to English for the Chinese expression: 你的財富消失了 (Traditional Chinese), according to the translator DeepL, which finally, translated into English means: "Your fortune is gone", which is nothing more than the title of this story. Before leaving home, with the silver Grand Torino idling, still inside the shed, the radio automatically tuned into the romanza. As the car reversed out of the garage, it left a tire track on the grass, ruining it. Frost hit the windshield, and the wipers swung in an oddly rhythmic jiggle ...

After secondary school everyone in my set had dreams they wanted to achieve, mostly big dreams and also fare ones. Some wanted to go to university, some to learn a trade. But some, like Uju , one of the girls in our set, just wanted to blow. Her own dream was simple: the soft life or nothing ...

When I was little, I used to make a lot of things for my doll. I used to decorate her entire room, a chair, a table, a bed, a mirror, I used to make everything for her. But as I grew up, I started staying away from my doll and the also the other things that makes me happy, I don't know why I started staying away from them. But today, after a long time, when I saw the matchsticks scattered like this, I thought, why not use them and refresh some old memories ...

Yesterday it was nice and sunny day and there was not a lot of wind. A perfect day to go out and shoot some macro photos in my backyard. Macro photography is one of my favorite forms of photography. When going into nature (in my case this was my backyard 😀) you have to focus on all tiny creatures mooving around ...

This publication was also writen in SPANISH and PORTUGUESE. You know (or should know) that on the 15th of each month, we all have a commitment to a powerful project within Hive, which is part of the LeoFinance community. I am referring here to LEO POWER UP DAY, which is the day when users make a POWER UP of any amount of LEO tokens (the more the better) to demonstrate their commitment (singular and plural) not only to the project, but also to the entire Hive ecosystem. Personally speaking, I have been part of this initiative for some time now, and month after month, I am climbing a ladder that I normally would not climb (much less at this speed) if I were not so committed to a cause ...

Liebe Leser und Naturfreunde, im Westen Wiens ist der Wienfluß noch naturbelassen (siehe auch ). Nichts erinnert mehr an das im letzten September, bei dem hier alles überschwemmt war. Nach einem Hochwasser erholt sich die Natur (wenn man sie läßt) und es entsteht oft ein mindestens genauso vielfälltiger Lebensraum wie vorher. Nur Häuser sollte man nicht in einem Überschwemmungsegebiet bauen ...

Art is so broad and artists' imaginations are so vast that there are practically no limits to creation. I am always amazed to see or be part of new techniques for creating and bringing art to life, and that fascinates me. Photography itself is art, good photography where quality, effort, focus and attention to detail are involved. And that same photograph can become something else ...

High viewpoint. Near Central Station Amsterdam. I like the lines! ...

Hola hola querida comunidad de deportes ¿Cómo están el día de hoy? Yo muy bien y feliz de estar otra vez por esta comunidad para apuntarles de la reciente salida que tuve en bicicleta con mi mejor amigo. Tenía tiempo sin poder salir por diferentes ocupaciones pero por fin se me dio la oportunidad y retomamos la salidas para hacer un poco de ejercicio. Si más, Quiero contarles cómo nos fue en esta salida y mostrarles algunas fotos Recorrido en bici Como tenía un buen tiempo, si salió en bicicleta, me tocó hacer un mantenimiento preventivo cerca de mi casa, pero luego de eso me dijeron que estaba totalmente operativo y no puedo emprender camino en dirección a uno de los mejores lugares para hacer ciclismo, que es un lugar relativamente cerca de mi casa ...

Earlier today, quite by chance, I was looking over the stats since I started using my smartwatch—and, to my surprise, today makes exactly two months since I began wearing it. In that time, it’s managed to track certain aspects of my physical performance—or let’s just say, my activity levels—and a few health related things too, like sleep, heart rate, blood oxygen, stress, and what relates to my periods. These readings aren’t precise, of course—they simply offer a sense, a glimpse through your metrics. But I like knowing… even if it’s just an approximation of things ...

As seen at the vintage shop. Zaandam, the Netherlands ...

Good afternoon, friends. Today I want to share with you a photo shoot I did for a group of friends who are graduating from high school and wanted to take a group photo together. Originally, they were all dressed in red and white, and I wanted to put them in black and white. It was a relatively quick session because when I arrived at the house of one of the girls, where we took the photos, they were all ready and waiting for me ...

Every now and then I treat myself with some freshly baked sourdough bread. There is nothing that comes close to this type of bread, in my opinion. When you bake the bread, the kitchen smells of pure sourdough bread, a unique smell that I just love. I had a couple of cold Weiss beers in the fridge, so I thought, why not crack them open and have a slice of still warm bread? ...
