HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights June 23, 2025

The Coopers thought that they had found their dream house. It was located in a quiet surburb with a big garden at the back and a cute nursery for little Ava. The house was equipped with modern home surveillance system, and this meant a lot of assurance for them. As new parents, it certainly helped to check on any room through their phones ...

(English) Milow's death Author: @nachomolina2 I was heading toward the sacrificial hill, passing through the ancient county at midnight, vaguely guided by the bells and wind chimes whose timbre, echoing throughout the vastness of the manor, oppressed me. They fluctuated in my aching, hyperacusis ear, orchestrating the night like the truncated splinter of a thunderous echo. In the distance, the belfry pointed toward the kilometer long swamp, gradually emitting the vibrating, dull metal, as well as the percussive sound of the forged bronze cylinders as they clashed against each other like Orpheus's lyre from the ecumenical and sinister carillon. Colonel Milow once swore to me: "The next time you hear these bells ringing, don't doubt it, it will be for one reason only ...

At exactly 4:07am, the fire alarm ripped through the apartment complex like a scream in the night. Bianca bolted upright, disoriented. The shrill, high pitched wail vibrated through the walls. For a few seconds, she sat frozen in the dark, heart racing ...

I never expected that one day I'll get hurt by the one I love... If you think that's someone, nothing new with it. That is a part of our life, we need to experience how pain felt like at least. But anyway, I'm not talking about a person, I'm talking about our beloved pet dog at home ...

As I am getting at aged and my health is not that as I used to be when I was younger. I have so many thoughts in my mind what will my future will be alone as becoming an old woman. I am not that lucky in life to have a husband or a partner. I have kids but children in now days are not that getting importance to their parents it is getting a toxic tradition to expect more from my children ...

Versión en español Escuché esta mañana a la excelente psicóloga Laura Domínguez hablar de la risa y la sonrisa y sus diferencias, en tanto, vividas para entablar alegrías y también tristezas o hipocresías. Se trata de un fenómeno natural y comencemos a repasar para que sirve cada una de ellas, creo que es poder encontrar las pautas que nos dominan y enriquecen nuestra vida, que no es nada agradable sin amor y sin alegrías. La reacción de reír y sonreír nos hace sentir bien y risa van más allá de esa esencia; produce endorfinas, la hormona conocida de la felicidad. De igual forma, se reduce la elaboración de cortisol, la hormona del estrés ...

Amigos de Holos Lotus hoy en el día internacional del Yoga llego hasta aquí para hablarles de mi experiencia y de cómo ha transformado mi vida está práctica. Yoga no consiste en sentarse con las piernas cruzadas durante seis horas o detener el pulso o los latidos del corazón, o hacer solo posturas (asanas) complicadas y perfectas. Esto son sólo hazañas físicas. Mucha gente piensa que no hay nada más allá de esto en el camino del Yoga ...

La comunidad Holos& Lotus nos invita a escribir sobre una temática de la cual no escapa nadie, pues aunque frecuentemente asociamos los juegos a la infancia, la práctica nos demuestra que los juegos nos acompañan durante toda la vida, por lo que considero que debemos poner esmero en cuidar “ese niño que vive en nosotros”, los adultos. Recuerdo con beneplácito cómo en mi infancia practicábamos los juegos más disimiles, cuyos nombres pueden variar de una región a otra (la interculturalidad es una de las maravillas de HIVE): a la pelota, a las chinatas, al escondido, a los palitos… en fin, sería una larga lista. Me refiero a los juegos colectivos donde participábamos muchos niños. En la escuela primaria tratábamos de llegar antes de que empezaran las clases, para poder jugar, por lo que además de favorecer la comunicación y el compañerismo, contribuía a la responsabilidad y la puntualidad ...

Okay I know that that was cheesy but sometimes you have to change things up a little and try something new in your intro. Okay, moving on. Sete Cidades is one of the most popular hikes on the Sao Miguel island and it comes up on pretty much every travel blog on the internet relating to the Azores. After seeing it mentioned in so many blogs, it really seemed like a "must do" activity to me and it was something that I was looking forward to most during our trip ...

Absolutely stunning kayak conditions this morning in Geographic Harbor. Last time I was here, all we saw was rain and fog. We had no idea about all these majestic mountains and beautiful views. And anytime the water is calm enough to see reflections of the landscape and sky, it is a day for kayking! ...

Entry to monomad Challenge Taking street photography in a medieval town has its charm and is something you don't encounter every day. That's Wernigerode, a medieval village, with its distinctive architecture and a castle that I described in a previous post and can be seen by following . The first photos show the interaction of people in their surroundings and the last, typical views of the town. An elderly woman was walking past a shop window ...

Hey everyone, I'm back with another cycling post to hopefully entertain you all with some pretty pictures I made on my last training, it's now been around 6 weeks I think I've bought my mountain bike and I have to admit I didn't think I would like it this much that fast, my first plan was to combine inline skating with cycling, and when the weather allows it to skate on Thursday which is my regular day off of work, and make a nice ride on Sundays... I'm making this post with Ecency's new text editor to test it out, I'm usually using Peakd's editor but so far, I like Ecency as well! The only thing I am missing so far is the auto save to draft function or maybe this is just not visible I don't know. The reality is I haven't use my skates for the last three weeks because it's just easier to be on a bike and I'm training the same muscles with added benefits like I can just STOP when it's needed like really quick, an incident I had last year with a car not seeing me and just crossing the cycling path which was parallel to the main road so I needed to make a emergency turn to the gas station the car was heading for, I was going around 25 km/h on my skates at the time and I can brake using different techniques but stopping at high speeds when something unexpected suddenly happens mostly results in falling so it's better to make a turn and hope for the best I was able to stay up right on my skates but it scared the crap out of me! ...

From Annecy around the lake Annecy, to the beach in Sevrier. An amazing alpine lake located in the Haute Savoire region of France. It is near to the border of Switzerland and Italy. You will find many public beaches, here is one of these ...

The little guy and I were able to go on a cycling adventure this afternoon because it was only 79° with a high temperature of 80° for the day. It's usually triple digits around here in June. I worked around the house for several hours this morning and it scored me 9000 @actifit steps. After the bike ride I was sitting at 15,000 @actifit steps, and I did a walk around the park to get my step count above 20k ...

The photos 📸 are my entry to the monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest. Greetings, friends of the community. If you follow my work, you already know that I love to photograph street animals. I'm always after cats and dogs, who sometimes cooperate ...

Ahh, a Sublime Sunday in Florida. A great way to enjoy the Summer Solstice. While many places are just entering summer, we have been in summer mode for at least 2 3 months. One of our favorite things here is the "Bird cage" ...

This afternoon I was very lucky I think, I found an insect that I have been hunting for a long time, it is a Treehopper. An insect that has two very handsome horns. Sometimes when I look at the two horns, they are very similar to buffalo horns. Treehopper also has two long horns that pass through its back ...
