Hands rising from the Grand Canal in Venice, a stone-filled human figure crouching on a sidewalk, a split-open head in the green of Cancún, and a dancer balancing on falling chairs in Tbilisi. Paired with text-based walls about happiness and hidden sadness, this set looks at support, balance, and the loads we hold.
Two monumental white hands emerge from the water to brace the façade of Ca’ Sagredo Hotel. Fiberglass forms scale architectural details and reference rising sea levels. About and more photos: Support – Message About Climate Change

5. Finding a good balance in life — Sasha Korban in Tbilisi, Georgia
A woman in a blue dress tiptoes across a stack of tilting chairs painted on a weathered wall. The figure’s outstretched arm and the angled furniture create a diagonal climb. More!: Murals by Sasha Korban (16 Photos)
Sasha Korban: This mural supports the idea of finding a good balance in life. The young fragile girl reflects the human’s internal harmony together with the joy of existence. A bunch of chairs is a metaphor for the world’s chaos and the diversity of different moments we all go through – positive, tragic, happy and sad. They make us balance and find the harmony. The project is organized by International Human Rights Organization Truth Hounds, Tbilisi, Georgia.
Stencil of a child correcting a slogan on a brick wall, crossing out words to read “Be someone that makes you happy.” Red underlines and strike-throughs mark the edit.

From towering city murals to hidden creatures carved into natural landscapes, artists worldwide are bringing animals into public spaces in striking ways.
In this collection, you’ll meet a tiger gazing over Spanish streets, a massive snake bursting from a French wall, and a gorilla towering over New York. You’ll also find a boar built from logs in a Swedish forest, a playful dog in London, and a platypus painted across an Australian silo. Smaller interventions appear too, like a squirrel peeking from a tree trunk and a fox face stretching across a Belgian wall.
1. Tiger Mural — Sweo & Nikita in El Berrón, Spain
A large-scale mural of a resting tiger framed by green leaves, painted across the side of a multi-story building. The animal’s realistic expression and posture give the illusion of it leaning out from the wall. On more mural!: Gold Fish mural by Sebastien Sweo and Nikita in Calais, France
2. Giant Snake — Braga Last One in Puteaux, France

Why when I create a post and embed a video (I upload the video to my friendica storage) I always find it at the bottom of the page? I'll give you an example , I create the post like this
ABCabcAbcABC....I write something..... then I embed some videos from youtube like this,
I click on preview and everything is perfect , when I click on share, I publish my post, and I find the attachment of the video that I inserted at the end after the hashtags
What kind of formatting should I use? I've tried various combinations, I normally write my posts in Joplin notes, then I copy and paste. But I created this post directly "Create new Post" but nothing changes
If your #github project uses #stalebot you are being actively hostile to your community and should stop it.
I'm looking at you, #esphome, and the 4 (at least!) identical bugs indicating problems with esp_touch that were all closed by stalebot. Some of them were reproduced and started discussion and debugging before being closed.
Auto-closing is for #support requests, not #bug reports. Bugs don't magically disappear just because you ignore them.
Oh, if you are on Spotify to support your favourite artists you are not actually supporting them, you are just enriching Spotify themselves. If you REALLY want to support the bands you love, buy their merch/albums. #support #spotifysucks
- agree 100%. Losing ads and decentralizing control will revolutionize social media and how we connect. But, without ad revenue, admins need to count on end user support for this to scale appropriately. Good, resilient infrastructure can be expensive - and the major platforms of the world recoup that through clicks.
In short - enjoy the platform - but consider supporting the admins! The quickest way for this to go away is for servers to disappear!
@ginAd ich bin nicht wirklich die richtige Person für so Support in der Art, aber das scheinen alles Zeilen zu sein, wo es um logging geht.
Ich bin nicht sicher weshalb keine anderen Leute antworten, vielleicht sind die im Urlaub, aber vielleicht solltest du noch mal @Friendica Support auf Englisch probieren, da sind mehr Leute die das sprechen mit erreichbar, meistens geht es ja recht schnell bis jemand bei #Friendica #Support leistet.
