SUPERETTES: The hidden gem of urban community revival. 🫶🏾

From corner bodegas to vibrant farm stands, Superettes have long been the beating heart of our neighborhoods.

But somewhere along the way, they were overshadowed by exclusive “third spaces” – those stylish cafes and co-working spots often out of reach for many.

This exclusion isn’t just about price; it’s about feeling like you have to earn your right to belong. It’s time to reclaim the Superette.

Imagine a space where you can grab affordable groceries, enjoy a delicious meal, and connect with your neighbors – all under one roof.

By prioritizing accessibility and community, we can revitalize these vital hubs and build stronger, more equitable cities for everyone. 🥕🛒☕️💌🥕✨

What inspires you most about recycled materials? The Bima Microlibrary in Bandung, Indonesia, highlights the potential of upcycling in architecture by incorporating 2,000 recycled ice cream buckets into its facade. These buckets are arranged in a pixelated pattern, serving multiple functions. By angling them outward, they create a rain screen that protects the building while allowing natural ventilation. About half of the buckets have their bottoms removed, turning them into light diffusers that bring soft, natural light into the interior, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Would similar upcycling strategies be widely adopted to make more structures sustainable while showcasing innovative design?

5: Tools for Growth—Tumblr’s Creative Compass

Give creators the tools, and they’ll build worlds.

Tumblr doesn’t need to chase growth. It needs tools that let its creators go wild:

Fandom Hubs: Spaces to co-create, organize, and share. Think fanfiction writers, artists, and roleplayers—all together.

Collaborative Zines: A Tumblr-native tool to build and publish digital zines—made by communities, for communities.

Creative Compass: Like a map for Tumblr. Discover new creators, emerging micro-trends, and weird little pockets of brilliance.

The Buffer Zone: A Tumblr guide for marketers. Rules of engagement, so they add value instead of interrupting.”

The commercial arcade in San Juan is a brilliant example of the extraordinary results achieved when an architect and a structural engineer collaborate seamlessly. The interior atrium, with its openness and abundant natural light, promotes a sense of community and interaction. The building’s orientation and split levels ensure a seamless flow, with well-designed ramps and wide walkways making the space accessible. The steel framing, both functional and aesthetically appealing, demonstrates the refined tastes and creativity of the design team. This harmonious blend of architectural vision and engineering expertise has resulted in a beautiful and functional space serving as a dynamic community hub. Job well done!

The Free Black Women’s Library, which started as a mobile library book swapping social art project in 2015 is now over eight years old.

2023 marks two years of us having our own brick and mortar space and having a home base has helped the project grow and develop into all that I imagined it could be and more.

This year birthed some lovely initiatives, opportunities and moments. We have become a community resource, creative hub, social site and care space for many.

If we raise enough money we can keep these good vibes going in 2024.

Help us make it happen by donating to our crowdfunding campaign at

forget me with the first waveform there must be many such things i

thought

i understood and yet really knew nothing about: your [words] were

one such

moonflower:

in reality

the sword swing

never [quite] achieves the effect it represents onscreen yet we strike

weeping rocks

over and over till they bleed glittery mercury mercy: forgotten me have

you already

i [see] your

ivory calves

weaving a spell on their own destiny or someone who takes you as a ritual

and departs

just before

you with your alleyway bliss float up and grab onto what little remains of

the pages:

numberless

you would have buried in your garden unwatered hadn't it been for february

acacias: those

[somethings]

you repeat over

and over

[autumnsunshine10]

Indict Me

The thrill unreal

Your zeal most appealing

Feeling like the forbidden

Too fun to be condoned

I would ask, is it legal?

If I actually gave a damn

Cause even if it were a crime

I'd keep committing it

Such is my commitment

To you and whatever this is

A spark we both lit

Became a full-blown blaze

Brighter than the sun's rays

With bigger risk of being burned

But, my dear, I'm not afraid

If this be a mistake in the making

It just may be the most exciting way

For a lesson to be learned

Inspired by the prompt: is it legal?

[irregularspace]

stillness through movement

a safe space inside each breath
