HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights July 14, 2025

Project closure Author: @nachomolina2 My spot in the second row was somewhat privileged considering it directly faced the ceremonial platform. I also occupied the first table in a group of no more than twenty or twenty five seats, if I'm not mistaken. This included the protocol area and the four folding chairs for the jury, which was the count. It was a good idea to arrive early at the amphitheater, as I had plenty of time to get acclimated and admire this masterful work of twentieth century architecture ...

The school stood like a sad and lonely ghost, watching the sun set over Bel Ombre, what was to be the future, had now become a scar. It was three years ago that Ameera Dass, a young, idealistic teacher, had sparked a movement. Her TikTok post about the abysmal condition of the community school had gone viral and had rattled the nations. Footages of students writing on their thighs while sitting on the floor, because they had no chairs nor tables, evoked rage and pity ...

It all started when Yemi came to meet me and asked, “Sam, what am I to do with my life? ” When I heard this, I was a little confused as to why an ND holder in electrical and electronics engineering would say this. So, I asked him and said, “Yemi, what do you mean by this? Then he opened up to me and said, “Sam, it's ND and not HND and as for that ND program, I didn't even finish it as I couldn't cope with the course” ...

This one is again from the Turkey holidays, visiting one of the local markets on the last day. Our return flight was late evening, and we had the half of the day at hand. I had planned one Mosque visit and some last minute shopping for this half day at hand. By this time it had already become exhausting because we were travelling continuously for 8 days, but then this was the last day, so we pushed ourselves out ...

Hello hivers! I know this post is a little bit late than the day of its celebration. I am very busy cleaning the house and packing all the things and securing important papers for going home that's why I just posted it today. By the way this is my simple celebration during my 24th birthday ...

There’s something truly magical about holding a tiny bouquet in your hand, especially when it’s made of yarn, love, and a whole lot of creativity. 💖 These past few weeks, I’ve been completely hooked on making these mini crochet flower bouquets. Each one is handmade with care—from choosing the perfect yarn shades to shaping every petal, arranging the blooms, and wrapping them in lace, ribbons, and cute little butterfly accents. Every time I finish a bouquet, I catch myself saying, “This one might just be my favorite so far! ...

Oltenia Museum history and archaeology section, pages from the history of Romania Hello travelers I hope you're well, I can't wait to read about your new adventures but until then I wish to take you with me on a fascinating journey, somewhere in the early twentieth century in the city of Craiova (Romania) and visit a place that at first functioned as a school after which it was transformed into a museum and during the communist period underwent other changes, and yes, it is the Oltenia Museum history and archaeology section. If you browse through my older blogs you will discover some of my posts about other fascinating places in Craiova, but today we will visit another fascinating one. I start by telling you that the Museum of Oltenia is divided into three sections, the History and Archaeology Section, the Natural Sciences Section, the Ethnography Section, and today we will visit the History and Archaeology Section, I must admit that this section is my favorite. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm, closed on Mondays ...

I know the deadline is before August 1st but, for fear of forgetting, I'm publishing my Red photo Essay contest entry now. In August last year, I started a Tribute to the 7 Colors, with 7 posts on each color of the visible light spectrum. I started with red. The first color of the rainbow, following the order of its colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) ...

Hello friends in this beloved Community. I hope you're having a wonderful and creative day. I love macro photography because it allows me to capture tiny details often overlooked by the naked eye. Using a macro lens, I can magnify small objects like flowers, insects, or even grains of sand, making them appear larger and more detailed ...

Again you aren't going to get a lot of description as I am a bit pressed for time this morning. Yesterday was pretty intense but much less so than the prior day. I was to the meeting spot first in the morning and soon everyone else showed up or woke up. We were loading the boat at 8:30 ...

Chicago is quite a town. The 72 hours or so I spent there earlier this week wasn't hardly even enough to begin to scratch the surface of the city, but it was enough to whet my appetite for more. We accidentally took the scenic route down Broadway in Gary, Indiana and that was its own special kind of interesting, going to have to make it back there too. In high school, the librarian talked me into reading The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand for an essay contest ...

INGLÉS Greetings traveling friends, I wish you an excellent and blessed week. I'm sharing with you the second part of my visit to Yaracuy State, which is known for its beautiful mountains and landscapes. As I mentioned before, our visit coincided with a rainy day, which allowed us to stay longer than planned and explore other areas. I was very grateful and happy to stay a little longer, as I was able to explore other areas ...

I was waiting for the new suggested colour in the Photo Essay community for some days... I was curious about the new contest, so I asked @stresskiller in a comment if he had chosen the new colour for the initiative. However, at that moment, he hadn't made a decision yet. Then days passed and it seems I completely missed the announcement post for the contest ...

Hello Hello to all Hivians and indeed anyone reading this. Today I shall be telling you a wee story although I think it might end up being five wee stories around a central theme! So I hope you are in the mood to read or is it red! Matilda and her love of red! ...

While scrolling through my feed I noticed a post from @melinda010100 promoting another Red Color contest in the Photo essay community. Usually, when I see such type of contests, I quietly pass by, because they, huh, seem rather dull... but not this time. I made an exception cause haven't participated in a long while and miss it, a bit ...
