The Tyranny of Normalization by @storicious

It looks like nowadays the hardest thing is, on the one hand, to be informed (the irony is that we have all the info at the tip of our fingers) and, on the other hand, to stay positive... Or, even worse, to try to stay sane! On the surface (laws, general idea, words), we are doing good things, like trying to keep our planet healthy... But on the "action side," we are doing the exact opposite!
Like, oppositely doing the Matrix things... Instead of going OUT of it, we are living fake lives and fake reality! Not sure where it went wrong, but I can see a lot of irresponsibility from those in charge, but also from ordinary people too... Not sure what our children will inherit... Hopefully, we will make a U-turn soon...

Time to play with my macro rail by @stresskiller

Whilst you were waiting for the sun to come out and the flowers to bloom, you also took some excellent macro photographs, revealing those inner details that often go unnoticed to the naked eye. How wonderful to see a flower that still has its pollen. You also had the patience to ensure the wind didn’t get in the way.
It’ll be great to see more and more photos with your new purchase, money well spent, well done!

My 38th Birthday! 🎂 ¡Mi Cumpleaños 38! 🎉 by @jesuslnrs

So, I’ll say Happy Birthday to you once again!!!! It’s true that every day is special, because life is about each and every day, and we must celebrate it; and for that very reason, the universe created a special day for you on your birthday, where even people you didn’t expect were there, and whereas usually when you celebrate, that day was organised in just that way.
Gifts are meaningful things for you, and even if you don’t expect them, life gives you those gifts. Do you know why? Because what you are comes back to you; what you do for others comes back to you, and that’s how it should be. That’s why life will give you wonderful things, because you’re a great person!

Artworks and videos for my courses by @paolobeneforti

Both you and your wife are great artists; I’ve been following your work for some time now, and the technique and quality of your work are something you don’t see every day, and I really love it. I’ve never painted in watercolours; I mainly paint in oils, but it’s a fascinating art form. The faces you’ve painted are perfect, especially your latest piece. It’s high-quality art, and the fact that you teach speaks volumes about your wisdom as an artist; one always learns more and more as one teaches. I’ve found that to be true.
Above all, I love that you’ve included those videos showing the process, the step-by-step of your work; they complement the post very well.

The Dead Woman´s Ring (En/Es) by @brujita18

Ever since I was a child, my grandparents always told me never to take anything from a cemetery not even a flower, nothing, absolutely nothing, but they never told me why. I suppose it’s because the energy contained in those things isn’t of this world.
Your story reminded me of what my grandparents used to say, and although I’m not saying that’s exactly what happens, the spirit might take offence, and not in a good way. It seems that things from that place should stay there; we can look, but nothing more than that.
