We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

Io applico lo stesso ragionamento che uso per il fast fashion: riduco il più possibile, e compro solo quando non ho alternative. Vivendo all'estero e non padroneggiando il tedesco abbastanza bene, ancora qualche cosa (soprattutto di elettronica) mi capita di ordinarla, ma riduco il più possibile

I should add: joining "in person" activities is definitely on my list, though my german is not good enough for that, yet

Thanks a lot, I will check them out! Do you have any recommendation for finding also references for landscapes and non human animals? I think I will end up managing my references offline in my hard drive, but I still have to find them somewhere (other than my crappy photos on the phone)
