Last month, I started sharing selected articles on Hive to Facebook as most of my local contacts use that. I want to share the results a little here, and different strategies I use…

2211 HP. That's how much I powered up artificially. Almost 50% of what I had. Fate is taunting me with a very low HIVE price. I already passed my goal of 7,500 HP for 2025, and no…

After 30 days of strike, and Lily's mom going Hulk on all the good I had built for Lily, I felt the urge to destroy the world. It's been an emotional week - again. Like, seriously,…

It’s happening again. Yesterday the mom got angry at me for not bidding her will, and took Lily. Just for the night I guess. I’m not sure, there is no way of knowing. She’s in scho…

Thunderstorm time! Almost each night now. Evening, sometimes into the morning. I'm fine with it as long as I can keep up my daily business, which is a lot these days. I did manage …

I’ve fallen into a few habits. Not the best, not the worst, but I grew to dislike them as I see their impact as mainly negative. After writing on Friday, I took a break for a coupl…

The strikes are over. Finally. Another time of crisis has passed, and we made it through. Time to clear the shambles and get on with it – but how? Crisis are always an opportunity,…

I just planted some of my "[Bits and pieces](https://peakd.com/hive-140635/@beelzael/bits-and-pieces)" in the garden today, and now I'm enjoying a thunderstorm that took out the to…

Is this what war feels like? Being captive in a violent conflict that one can’t make sense of? That has lost all arguments and perverted into a game of who can hold out longer? Wit…

The situation in Cotacachi is even more hopeless than before. After the terrible violence in our neighboring town of Otavalo on Wednesday, leaving more dead and injured, a dialogue…

I made it! As promised yesterday, I did not exaggerate and was somewhat good. Didn't sleep well, though. Ellie stayed the night and moved a lot, Lily had a nightmare, so when I got…

Every weekend is a new opportunity. That invigorating taste of freedom, indoctrinated by years and years of publicity, school and work based on 5 day schedules. "It's Friday and th…

Funny enough, during these supply disruptions we get many requests for bread that we usually don't prepare. Store-bought-sugar-flour-blends. I don't like to call it bread, but many…

Putting sticks in the ground and see what happens is my absolute favorite method of propagating plants. [But I already wrote about that.](https://peakd.com/hive-140635/@beelzael/bi…

 October 2025. With o…

I have energy! Finally! Not sure if it's the many cups of coffee or just that last spike of activity before collapsing completely. Doesn't matter, really, I'm enjoying it. Did the …

There are many lessons learned in the last 11 years here. One is to be prepared for everything. Many people move here without understanding much of the culture and economic situati…

It’s 17 days now that we’re in the strike. I’ve covered it in some articles, trying to make some sense out of everything – mostly for myself. Writing helps that way. Just as it doe…
