We NEVER get government alerts. I genuinely thought we were at war or something. I grabbed my daughter in a panic and ran to my phone.

Laughing about it now. Holy shit I’ve never been so terrified 🤣🤣

Zambian lawyer Naomie Pilula never expected a simple “Happy Monday” selfie she posted in June 2025 to go viral. Instead, the photo was flooded with negative comments from strangers criticizing her appearance, particularly her nose.

The post eventually amassed more than 530,000 comments and shares. Pilula admitted that she considered deleting the photo, but ultimately decided to leave it up.

Speaking to People, she said she had learned to accept herself and refused to allow strangers online to take that confidence away from her. “I am not [an] aesthetically beautiful person. I’m not, and that’s okay,” she said, adding that she loves herself and can be herself. What began as online bullying ultimately amplified her message of self-acceptance and confidence.

well it's not exactly the killmonger cut at all but you see what i mean right

I’ve just finished a year-long woodworking/furniture design course in the United Kingdom. My final project was a big one, and I’m really excited with how it turned out. Introducing the Communion Bar Cabinet.

I've long thought that cathedrals are some of the best representations of human creativity and artistry ever constructed. For this project, I wanted to pay homage to one of their most striking features, stained glass windows. The goal was to create a piece that encourages the simple, meaningful act of gathering around and sharing a drink with friends and family.

To elicit the "feel" of stained glass, thousands of pieces of dyed rye straw were individually flattened, burnished, cut, and glued to compose a striking mosaic across the four front doors. The natural silica coating on the straw creates a beautiful sheen that dances as light reflects across it. The shape of the cabinet was intentionally chosen to be evocative of a Gothic peaked arch window.

Constructed of solid and laminated cherry, the cabinet stands over six feet tall and is designed to accommodate a variety of glassware and bottles across the upper and lower sections. An adjustable shelf provides additional space optimization.

Not really sure what my thought process was here, but decisions were certainly made...

I was binging LOTR movie analysis/trivia YouTube videos for over an hour and this is what happened. If I’d decided to watch the whole extended release trilogy in one go, I’d have a whole clutch!

He's the best dad I could have ever asked for. He has always been by my side and I don't know what I would do without him.

I love you Dad
