HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights April 24, 2025

"What's all the fuss about, Pierre"? Pierre stopped sharpening his knife, and looked up. He put the stone next to him on the rough bench, and placed the knife in its sheath. "Don! ...

A week ago, I would not have thought for a moment that today I would be in this place, hundreds of kilometers away from the population centers, and in the company of a dog I did not know. It all started in my office when my friend Alicia approached me, as she does every morning to chat, well, to be more exact, to gossip. When she finished catching me up with our co workers, she said to me, lowering her voice, "What are you going to do in the next four days? I looked at his dark face with those white teeth that shone like pearls ...

I loved Choco! Sweet and adorable and foofy. The most perfectly amazing and loveable pet I have ever had. He had been part of our family for three years, given to me by our neighbours who were relocating abroad ...

Would you date someone who could read your mind? Today's topic is pretty crazy, isn't it? But we can make a good thought experiment out of it. Let's imagine two scenarios: one in which your partner can read minds and you know it, and the other in which you don't ...

Hello my name is Susan Almazan from Philippines or you can call me by my nickname Su, it’s great to finally be here and introduce myself and to share a lit bit of my story. Life has had its ups and downs for me. When I was just a little kid, only three years old, my father passed away. It was a really difficult time, and things changed even more when my mother remarried ...

Watch the video on and Girlcult recently released a new collection called Compendium of Materia Medica / Herbal Compendium Series (it may differ because of translations). One of the eyeshadows in the collection is this all shimmers palette called 61 Summer Grass. You can watch the video on Youtube so you can see the color shift better. Girlcult is the brand that really encouraged me to continue with my makeup and to discover my style ...

Floating down the river to an overnight stop in some remote hotel on the banks of the Mongla River it was interesting to see a number of brickworks lining the banks. It is one of the fastest growing industries in the country with an estimated turnover of over $80million per annum Bangladesh is the world's 4th largest producer of fired bricks with an estimated 7,000 kilns producing some 23 billion bricks in a year. The industry is a major employer, providing employment for many people. Over 1 million are employed nationwide mostly labouring jobs the workforce made up of the poorer classes, the uneducated and illiterate, as well as migrants ...

Happy Wednesday! Just sharing this happy scrap collage I made in my journal last night. It's so colorful and fun, I thought you wouldn't want to miss it. 😂 I like to take photos from different angles sometimes ...

I have mostly came across people who do not want to start small, in their words, they said that "every little efforts is a waste of time, maybe it is, but to me, I think it is not likely so. I have seen a stream that grow every day and before in one year or so, it became a big ocean, and talking about this, if you visit places where there was no stream, and there was no drop of water daily at the place, there will still remain none at the place. Growth is a matter of a daily addition, and once it is not so, that means, they will be nothing like it. Life doesn't need too much to expect, I said this because, to have real growth, one needs to work, expect a daily addition, and follow it up like that, and when this is done up to a month or many months, sometimes year's, depending on the activities, the growth will slowly come and that droplet of water we see will become an ocean ...

Versión en español "Querer ser alguien más es malgastar la persona que eres". Marilyn Monroe. Hola, mis amigos de Holos Lotus, en estos días de amor y de Semana Santa, saltaron algunas ideas que se visualizaban en mi mente, las cuales quisiera comentarles. Es real, que sin amor la vida se vuelve incierta y si eres inteligente, puede convertirte en un retorcido; sin él la justicia te puede llevar a realizar actos inhumanos como un ser helado ...

La comunidad de @holos lotus, continúa con su iniciativa sobre la “conciencia”. Esta vez, su segunda iniciativa se titula . Si de por sí, la conciencia personal ya es difícil, imaginar una conciencia colectiva podría parecer imposible. Sin embargo, esto no es imposible y en algunas instancias se logra, aunque siempre con ese dejo de desconfianza, ese qué es tan silencioso que solo retumba en nuestro interior ...

A small memory that worked as a healer and inspiration in my life. It's astonishing to think how a memory can significantly affect my life. The Switzerland trip always comes first whenever I think about my travel experiences and memories. Today I am going to write about a key location that I visited a long time ago ...

The title may seem like a huge exaggeration to some, but let's see if you have the same opinion after you read my post and see the photos I have to share here today, about an amazing exhibition I visited on the 8th of April this year. As always, I went to the exhibition knowing absolutely nothing about who is exhibiting or what is exhibited. For me, this is the best way as having no expectation of any kind gives me the opportunity to enjoy everything I see and not come home disappointed. The artist's name is Steve Bradford, he's an English artist, who's living in Romania now ...

Recently, I had another monkey photo walk with a 70 300mm lens: Not far from my guesthouse, there’s a street popular among monkeys and, on clear days, brightly lit by the sun before it slips behind the mountain. You can observe perfect silhouettes of macaques on the street there a great spot for a photographer. Sharing shots from this walk and thoughts. Thoughts like ...

😁 Let's start by walking a little on this track that you've already seen... if you know me, of course. I was wearing my single earbud in my right ear. I don't know if I should pay attention to the things I see on Instagram sometimes, but the day before yesterday there was a guy saying that these devices were frying our brains ...

Hello guys. I hope you are all well. Today I will share a beautiful memory with you guys. A month ago I went to Islamabad with my friends and this was my second visit ...

One thing that I wasn't expecting to see in the castle, was flowers. Wild flowers growing on every bit of available soil, on stone walls, on every probable and improbable spot! I should have known better. I live so close to a castle (not this one, another one) and I have first hand experiences of the persistent flora that pops up everywhere in the spring ...

Hello Hive Community. I hope you all are fine. I am also fine here. Today's post shows a visit to a beautiful and naturally beautiful place ...
