Dealing with a #Condescending boss? So did I. Unfortunately, this can happen in some #Workplaces, where the power dynamic feels one-sided, and you're expected to follow the tune that #PaysTheBills. However, not all workplaces or #Cultures operate this way. You have the #Power to set #Boundaries, communicate #Effectively, and #Advocate for yourself. Take steps to reclaim your confidence and create a healthier professional space for yourself.

Can you imagine living in a house with a roof made of seaweed?
On the island of Læsø, located off the coast of Denmark, there are houses with roofs made of seaweed. These roofs are up to a metre thick, and the way they hang over the walls, the house looks like it is wearing a cloak. Apart from their enormous size, they look a lot like straw, but seaweed is much more durable. Some of these roofs are over 300 years old. They are a unique feature of the island of Læsø.

11/11: Eleven seems like a good place to end this thread. And ending with a closeup of "wishnu's foot" (mentioned in #6) feels appropriate.

Exit: What material might the "foot" shown here be made of? Where might have one gotten this particular object?

Again, I share the info and visuals for those interested in (others') #cultures, #traditions, and #customs. I welcome comments, questions, thoughts, similar experiences, etc. 🙏

Niche content for those interested in (other) #cultures, #traditions, #rituals. 1/n

I recently experienced a religious service at a #Hindu home. The service lasted ~4 hrs but I share here some info and visuals from just a small part. 👇

The experience was special because such a detailed service is uncommon at homes even in #India. The intimacy of the experience brought joy.

PS: Just sharing information; not proselytizing. I welcome genuine, respectful engagement (religion is a dicey topic). 🙏
