HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights July 06, 2025

The first time meeting with my mother in law was one of the most memorable moments of my life, even though the 12 hour road trip was a nightmare as I suffered from morning sickness throughout the journey, her warm welcome and affection melted it all. Mama, as we fondly call her, is an agile, beautiful woman in her early 60s, but one would think she was younger with the kind of strength she puts into everything she does. I was born in the city, so it was not uncommon for me to see some chores she did as very strenuous, for example, we had the gas cooker which made cooking easy for us, but in the village, they used firewood woods, which involved putting fire to some pieces of woods and often you have to bend and blow breeze into it or better still use a fan for it to ignite well so it can properly heat your food, and by the time you are done cooking, it wasn't only the food that would be cooked, because your hair and body would also have the smell of smoke. For this reason, I never really fancied cooking in the village though I often helped her out, being the helpful daughter in law I was, and also because even though the method of preparing meals this way was stressful it often ended up with a very unique, smoky and tasty local flavor that I loved so much ...

Growing up, my siblings and I didn't really have a fancy childhood. There were some things we rarely got, and snacks were one of those things. We loved snacks so much. Snacks were so special to us that whenever any of our moms or our dad came back with a nylon that crinkled in their hands, we got excited because new joy was coming ...

I was already a few miles from the airport before the weight of what I was doing landed on me. The quiet hum of the cab engine competed with the thoughts in my head. I leaned my head to the window with my eyes focused on the bald head of my cab driver, yet lost in my surroundings. The cab driver reached for the radio ...

I'm sorry I have been so absent here on Hive this past week. It hasn't only been on Hive, it's been pretty much everywhere that I've been missing in action as I've been trying to beat COVID round two. Probably more aptly named COVID Back with a Vengeance, or maybe COVID Second Blood. I've been struggling to get the energy to get this post put together, but I'm giving it my best shot ...

Olá Splinters, bem vindos de volta! Por mais que a maioria de nós goste de jogar de modo ofensivo, estratégias, combos e monstros fortes em ataque, não abrimos mão de uma certa segurança defensiva. É bom ter um time extremamente ofensivo, mas abrir mão de defesa é deixar as portas abertas para a nossa destruição. Certo que alguns dizem que a melhor defesa é o ataque, mas nem sempre isso funciona, um time muito ofensivo com as defesas abertas é um convite para a derrota ...

Banner created in canva The healthcare sector in Brazil has always been viewed favorably. Since childhood, when we ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, the most common answer is still: “I want to be a doctor”. This desire to work in healthcare, more specifically in medicine, is widely shared, which has contributed to a significant increase in the supply of doctors today. For a long time, the medical profession has been associated with high salaries and prestige ...

Hello, dear friends. One of the positive aspects of participating in this contest is that it forces us to think and remember. I think that's a great thing, considering that at my age, one starts to forget a lot. Hola queridos amigos ...

"This is one weird way in", I muttered to @anidiotexplores. Talk about going the back way; 'the back way' had a hole large enough for a car to drive in, if you don't mind completely destroying the underside and slashing all the tyres. I have not seen bombed or war torn locations, but the rear of “The Red Lion" could come close. It was tough navigation, but we worked around the huge stone slabs, bricks, half destroyed wooden beams and entered the lower area of the old pub, which appeared to have been built on a steep hill ...

As seen at the wharf where the boat of my brother in law is stored for winter. Amsterdam, the Netherlands ...

Hello, friends especially foodies! One of special event that only held once a year in my city is Jakarta Fair or we called it Pekan Raya Jakarta (PRJ). Jakarta Fair itself is the biggest and longest fair in South East Asia and this time it would be held from June 19th until July 13th, not even a month. At this fair, we could see many interesting stalls and it sold many kind of things, but of course what interested me much was the food stalls there ...

Cikokol Park Last week I went around Tangerang city and stopped by several places, one of which was Cikokol Park. A park that is not too big... but fun for little kids to play. I just found out that there is a place like this in Tangerang city, because previously I only visited relatives every time I visited the city ...

The second is a type of biting fly, flies in the genus are somewhat different from flies in general which prefer stale food, whereas this fly prefers blood, especially liking to suck cow's blood ...

Hey guys! How's everyone doing? Today I want to share something I’ve been working on over the past few days—well, actually for a couple of weeks now. It’s a project that feels very special to me, and also something completely new in my creative process ...

Time for a Holiday! we usually chose a different location to visit each year, in order to explore both the different places, and the different wildlife they contain. We often book a full week away so we can explore the area properly, but money is tight this year so, we've made do with a mid week break: 2 nights down in the . It might only be for a few days, but we aim to see as much as possible ...
