When life gives you infinite quarantines, grow your own fruit tree.




One of my most satisfying activities is tending my garden. My front yard is flourishing with culinary herbs, fruits, and vegetables, and I don't think I'm ever going to tire of seeing home-sown seedlings. Here's the newest addition to my plant family. I don't really like the taste of guyabano (soursop) but findings suggest that it could be beneficial for those with diabetes, which runs in my family. Who would have thought that I would get into gardening? I could barely keep a mung bean plant alive in science class. For me gardening is a stress buster, and it feels cool to eat stuff you grew yourself.

If you're into vintage erotic art, follow Cold Meat

It's not just the pictures of celebrities in skimpy outfits that makes Instagram interesting. But if those are the only people you follow, then you are missing out. The social media platform is full of some of the most talented artists of the moment, but one account that truly caught my eye is cold___meat , which is dedicated to vintage pictures of BDSM art and erotica.  The account has been cancelled several times, but it's alive and kicking and is showing no sign of slowing down. Dazed recently interviewed Daryl, the mysterious founder of Cold Meat, to learn more about his background, his fear of another shutdown, and his mission to make "formerly clandestine and underground erotica available to a wider audience."

Living Small, Feeling Infinite

Everyone likes a house with light. We like fresh air. We like the sun. This is the simple choice of any sane person. And this house in Osaka proves you can live small without feeling small. According to designboom , the site is only 45 square meters. It is narrow—just 2.73 meters wide. Yet inside, it feels anything but cramped. The architects skipped heavy walls and chose to build with transparency instead. A grid of full-height openings, framed in aluminum and glass, creates a rhythm of light and reflection. The result is a a home that breathes. Sometimes, living beautifully just means letting the sun in.

Meet Gary Hug, the backyard astronomer

The small shed behind Gary Hug's home in Topeka, Kansas looks like an ordinary barn. But at night, the structure becomes an observatory, which he built himself. Gary has so far discovered 294 asteroids (according to Wikipedia ) and has tracked countless others. Check out this interview from Great Big Story , a YouTube channel dedicated to the "untold, overlooked and flat-out amazing."
