Earlier today, I had posted two photos (an avatar and a banner) generated by AI. I was kindly contacted and informed that AI generates by taking works from artists and creators without their consent, essentially exploiting their work without any permission or credit.
I hadn't thought about it, so I immediately removed and replaced the two images with the ones that are there now.
Since respect is at the core of my presence in the world (both "physical" and "virtual"), I will not be posting any AI-generated images on this profile. What I will post will only be my photos or photos and images I find around (with proper attribution).

Watching videos also helps me, especially in the evening to fall asleep. Tonight, I'll be watching this one: https://vid.puffyan.us/watch?v=PyFN_FYwqvc

Today, I managed to take a beautiful walk in nature once again. When stress levels rise, the remedy is to unplug from the world and its noise, staying connected to where we come from. It usually works, except in rare cases, even to help me focus better when I return to mental work. In my opinion, everyone should dedicate at least one hour a week to a return to the basics, to our origins. It's healthy, it's beautiful, and it brings positivity.

Thousands of power outages in Northern Ireland. Gusts up to 70 mph where we are. We're watching one of the streetlights outside sway back and forth (at a safe distance from the windows). Quite hypnotic, actually.

For those, like me, who want their own space here and prefer self-hosting, I suggest considering snac2. I'm having a great experience with it, and it's easy to install and configure.

The weekend is a remedy to recharge your energy whenever possible. Today, another beautiful immersive walk in nature, and tomorrow, we'll resume our weekly commitments. But with a rejuvenated soul and the right energy.
I hope you all are also having or have had a great Sunday.

I'm seeing more cats here today than I have seen in the rest of my life. How wonderful!

Spending time outside, today. Breathing clean air, avoiding any closed space. My soul needs to be free 🙂

Starting the weekend! No specific plans, just some rest and activities that boost my energy and positivity.
A walk in nature could be an enticing option, weather permitting. I need to recharge after a decidedly busy week, and I'm determined to do it right!

I wanted to create this space to establish a small oasis of positivity. Everywhere you look these days, you see nervousness, impatience, intolerance, and often unwarranted cruelty. Hate and negativity seem to be the release valves for people's frustrations. But hurting others doesn't improve our own condition. So here, I want to smile and share smiles, positivity.

Reading the posts from the people I follow, I'm seeing beautiful places, amazing animals, and a general sense of well-being. I used to be a part of some larger instances, but their timelines were always filled with hatred or controversy. Large instances are like big apartment buildings: you have a lot of people around, but you can't choose your neighbors (too much). Here, I have my little home. Modest, but I can choose friends and neighbors. And that means a lot to me.
