If you’re tired of feeling like there’s nothing that you can do to help make the world a better place besides voting, I’m here to tell you that there is…

Volunteer.

Food banks, soup kitchens, senior centers, blood banks, animal shelters, and more. Find a place where you can be in the service of others. Where you can give back to the community that you live in.

It’s a great way to get out of your own head. Serve others, and serve the better parts of yourself in return

Want to get an overview on the current status of the world? Then take a look at https://world-monitor.app

It's an open source project which provides a freely available OSINT/Intelligence-Dashboard. It's open source and transparent, provided by a community and non profit. No fees, no subscription required.

You can even fetch the sourcecode from github an run it on your own servers. https://github.com/koala73/worldmonitor

It tracks in real-time active conflict zones + escalation rating, live tracking of military planes, battleships and dark behaviour of ships, nuclear plants worldwide, protests, sanctions and internet outages as well as military bases in nine countries.

The platform uses AI to read more than hundred news sources and to classify threads in realtime.

I think this is something worth taking a look at.

“What do you have to hide?“

Everything.

Full stop. Period.

Every. Thing.

What I had for breakfast is my choice to put out in the world.

Who I love, who my friends are, what we talk about, the books I read, the websites I visit, my favourite animal, my choice of shoelaces.

It. Does. Not. Matter. How. “Big”. Or “Small”.

Every. Thing.

It’s all up to me to decide who I want to share anything with.

80 years ago, the UN General Assembly started with a dream: to maintain peace and security in the world.

The good?
Eight decades without World War III.

Where do we stand today?
It’s complicated.

But in a world of 8 billion people, it’s the only room where everyone gets a seat.

80 years ago, we chose dialogue over force.
Today, we must choose it again.
