If you've felt overly worried, even despair, about the state of our world, I've found contributing to #iNaturalist to be something helpful.
I started with plants, because that's what interests me the most, but I then started to document all sorts of species from around where we live, and it made me realise how many different species I had never noticed before. Kind of reassuring to see how teeming with life the city is - and you contribute data for scientists to monitor biodiversity. ✊ 💚

Anyone wants to help with some time to read out questions and do some moderation?

This is great: https://theconversation.com/corbevax-a-new-patent-free-covid-19-vaccine-could-be-a-pandemic-game-changer-globally-174672 but it's desperately sad that this isn't the default process, for the greater good, rather than Big Pharma shareholder (i.e. the 1%) profit maximisation.

@vbd It feels counterintuitive, right? Seeds have been a common good for millennia, and should continue to be commons.

I think it's better if we let it lapse.
