At least, that’s what the designers Tyson Strang and Tatiana Baibabaeva wanted to do when they moved to Sencelles, Majorca, in 2020. The pair, who met in Kyrgyzstan two decades ago, had previously lived for 15 years in New York City, where in 2017 they founded the ceramics line Terra Coll Home. Before turning to pottery, Baibabaeva, 38, had worked in fashion and Strang, 45, had been a teacher; when they relocated to Spain, they fully merged their creative, personal and professional lives, raising two children together, developing a rustic-minded interiors business and even sharing an email address, from which they explain, “For us, ‘rustic design’ means unifying the interior of a space with its landscape by using the raw materials from the surrounding land as the primary construction and design elements.”

More than 500 workers in the team behind World of Warcraft, one of the most popular video games in the world, have voted to unionize, the Communication Workers of America said on Wednesday. The move expands the ranks of organized labor at Microsoft, which acquired the video game giant Activision Blizzard — whose subsidiary Blizzard Entertainment produces World of Warcraft — for $69 billion last year. To satisfy the regulators overseeing the mega-acquisition, Microsoft promised to remain neutral on unionizing efforts, an unusually permissive policy in the tech industry. An arbitrator determined on Wednesday that a majority of the World of Warcraft workers, including designers, engineers, artists and quality testers, supported the C.W.A., the union said in a statement. Blizzard Entertainment recognized the union, increasing the number of unionized game workers at Microsoft to more than 1,750, the C.W.A.

More specifically, they're taking aim at a widespread rule that requires almost every new apartment building in the US to include at least two separate stairwells. This part of local codes, they say, is an outdated safety measure that really just makes apartment units smaller, more expensive, and darker (yes, darker). City planners there sometimes call these single-stair buildings "Seattle Specials" — they simply wouldn't be possible in pretty much any other city. Almost all of Europe, as well as Asia, Mexico and South America, allows single-stair buildings of six stories or higher. Germany allows single-stair buildings to stretch to about 20 stories, while Switzerland has no such limit.
