The transformation of Paris into a bike city over the past few years has been remarkable. And a lot of the credit goes to Mayor Anne Hidalgo. But there’s another story that I discovered while riding every new bike lane built in the past year in the city, and it’s a story of citizen and advocacy work that has lessons for people in cities all over the world.

Inventor and product designer Simone Giertz of popular youtube channel @simonegiertz has turned her compact Los Angeles home into a functional, playful space that reflects her inventive spirit and Swedish roots. Embracing imperfections like uneven walls, custom designs maximise every inch from a bed platform with built-in storage to a staircase that doubles as shoe and jacket storage. A modular shelving unit, dual-purpose puzzle table, and size adjustable fruit bowl are just a few of her creative solutions. A handcrafted stained glass window, inspired by a lemon tree, adds charm, while a plant-inspired lamp and a “plant stripper pole” blends practicality with whimsy.

Imagine the amount of patience that’s required to create such highly detailed art such as this! To promote healing and world peace, a group of Tibetan Buddhist monks, from the Drepung Loseling Monastery in India, travel the world creating incredible mandalas using millions of grains of sand. For days or even weeks, the monks spend up to eight hours a day working on one mandala sand painting, pouring multicolored grains of sand onto a shared platform until it becomes a spectacular piece of art.
Each work begins as a drawing, the outline of the mandala. Then, colored sand is poured from traditional metal funnels called chak-purs. Each monk holds a chak-pur in one hand, while running a metal rod on its grated surface; the vibration causes the sands to flow like liquid. It is almost as if they are truly painting. […]

What even is a curry? A dish? A spice? A colonial mistake? Or something that’s always been part of who we are? In this video, Melissa unpacks this messy debate, tracing how a single word came to define (and flatten) an entire world of flavours, histories, and identities.

Did you know the Mormons invented their own alphabet? As did Benjamin Franklin. Many people have tried and failed to end the fiasco that is English spelling. In this video I explore five such attempts.
