Working in a nature park, we see more and more #alienation from #nature in #children (of course, caused by adults who often pay more attention to their mobile phone than to their toddler on walks.)
Some creepy studies: "In the UK, 98% of two-year-olds watch screens on a typical day, on average for more than two hours â and almost 40% of three- to five-year-olds use social media. Could this lead to alarming outcomes?" https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jan/22/how-screen-time-affects-toddlers-were-losing-a-big-part-of-being-human

Boah, I was about to make an internal transfer via app at my French bank (I live in France). Before doing so, I had to submit a declaration of honor stating that I neither have a residence in the US nor US citizenship!
France said on Monday that the European Union must be prepared to use wide-ranging "anti-coercion" measures targeting U.S. services: https://archive.ph/B1aHU

Private mentions on #Mastodon: Be aware if you post #photos, they are visible publicly for all looking for "Media" in your account.
I knew that #privateMentions are not secure but I learnt yesterday how public they can be (and I know Mastodon from the beginnings ...).
If you want to communicate privately and securely, use a messenger app not PMs.

When I installed my website, I never thought that one day I needed a disclaimer to say that I deleted all images of a virtual exhibition because #AI #scraping bots were steeling my #art. https://www.cronenburg.net/reliquaires/ Meanwhile I hate these corporations so much!

Until now, I didn't know that I'm a very trendy person! ðą

I have a basket called "my mobile embroidery studio" and an old bag containing my #crochet material for joining our real-life "Needle Club".
But I have a problem: I don't show it in social media to get thousands of followers, I keep it real-life! It's funny how these influencers go screen with screen-detox. ðĪŠ

A day without news, without doomscrolling. Only beautiful things, nature photos. And I doodled leisurely and watched a few animated films. Above all, I relaxed.
World politics has not changed for better or worse as a result of my rest, but I now have more energy again to work towards change. And I see: We must echo the voices of the good people much more than falling into the spiral of outrage.
#Selfcare is an important part of #resistance!
