The Earth-sized planet, named LP 791-18d, sits on the inner edge of the habitable zone of a red dwarf star about 90 light years away.
By focusing on what could be done rather than what is lost.
By envisioning how it could be better rather than how it is.
By dreaming and slowly working towards accomplishing these dreams even knowing only a fraction of it can be achieved.
By celebrating all the little wins no matter how small.
By surrounding oneself with allies who brings you joy, support, and strength.
By not giving up even when everything pushes you to.
By resting when rest is needed.
As an act of rebellion
against an unjust world.
It is difficult, and it requires lots of patience, practice, and self love 💚
If anyone is interested, here's the link to the BIG Launcher suite of apps for Android. The interfaces value simplicity over aesthetics and are designed to meet the needs of people with limited visual acuity. It's expensive as apps go but I have no regrets about giving them my money.
While I'm on this rant: The Google Phone app is horrible for seniors. Good alternatives (BIG Phone For Seniors) exist, but switching to them locks them out of the bunch of critical security features (spam and scam filtering) that could be decoupled from Google's phone app, but aren't.
It makes me so angry how hostile the tech world is to seniors.

This. Is. Amazing.
Montréal suburb has a school zone traffic light that only turns green when its camera detects a car driving under the speed limit.
The light is on a 90-day trial, on a 2-lane residential street. Similar signals are widespread in Europe.
Before installation, vehicles averaged 40 km/h. But in the past week, average speed has dropped to 29 km/h.
