Pose (film): A decent idea ruined by substandard cast, story, and long runtime by @netflixr
Thanks for the heads-up! I'm also a big fan of James McAvoy, but it looks like there is a reason why he isn't more popular, as he definitely deserves it... I suppose the only reason isn't that he isn't "enough handsome" for Hollywood, but also his poor choice of movies... He should avoid films like this one...
Even by looking at the last 4 movies that director Jamie Adams did, you can notice that the rating goes down, with Pose being the worst! 😞 Such a shame for James and his talent!
Most places are safe to visit as long as you aren't an idiot by @trip-hop
Morons and idiots are everywhere, and nobody likes them... In your country, in my country, everywhere... Btw. Speaking of the country where I live atm (Spain), can't believe it's labeled "increased caution"... lol... I can't say it's safer than the USA as I wasn't there, but from the words of American friends who moved here, I would say it is... 😃
Anyway, back to the topic... Sometimes I have a feeling that this kind of advices are published to "discourage" people from visiting other places, to see that it can be BETTER than in your OWN country... The media likes to spin things by titles like: "Look at others, they have cartels, and robberies... We don't!"
Life isn't measured in minutes, it's measured in moments by @mipiano
Yes, I did read the whole post; it was necessary because it felt like we hadn't spoken in ages 😅 Your February was beautiful. I was sick, but I still enjoyed it, and I feel the same positive energy surrounding you in your new way of life. This new city and new home have suited you both very well, and little by little, everything is falling into place. In fact, taking a break from the blog was good, since you needed time to build this new chapter, and I have no doubt you're still doing that. I see that everything is going very well over there, and I continue to wish you all the best, along with this intense desire to hug you again and share a hot (or maybe cold and frothy) drink 😋
March 8th, International Women's Day - Drawing [ENG-ESP] by @fixie
What beautiful work you have done today, and I love how it looks with the black cardstock and white pencil, something totally different from the usual and what one dreams of seeing, great idea! But you also bring us a beautiful reflection on women, and you are absolutely right. Even today, despite advances, women are often discriminated against, and in many cultures, strongly so.
The drawing is impeccable, sensual, feminine and stylish, simple yet beautiful. It's not easy to paint or draw the human figure, and you've done it perfectly.
Photographic alterations by @wilfredocav
The visual effect produced is very interesting, as if it were an enhanced perspective, much more noticeable. It's something different from what you usually see and it's great, especially in large constructions and buildings like these. The colours that stand out also contribute to this effect.
I like the result achieved, something that is probably unexpected, but it is novel and striking in the photograph, a good effect that makes you want to keep looking at the photos. I loved it!
THE HILLS - (PHOTOGRAPHY SERIES) by @jlinaresp
How much beauty you managed to capture on that hike, which you also used as exercise by climbing those slopes. It reminds me that just a few days ago I was hiking in a new forest park I found on the map.
The photographs with trees in the distance and the focus on them are what I liked the most, a solitary place that can help you think and also relax your mind, depending on the occasion. The colors of the landscape contrast with the blue sky, it looks wonderful.

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
