The natural world. Both at the micro level of looking at the symbiosis between tiny insects and plants, to the macro of untouched natural landscapes. Also clouds! We forget to look up and see how cool clouds are.
Apple News is decent in that you can pick and choose your interests and hide certain news sources.
Associated Press AP News app is great too.
I’m in Canada so I also have the CBC and CTV apps.
For RSS, I use Feedly app. It has a good discovery mechanism but most the time I manually add urls of sites I want to follow.
Other than that, I get shared links in different slack workspaces and discord servers.
I was one of three women in my year who graduated in CS at my university. I did most of my course work at home…trying to be one of the guys and make sure kindness wouldn’t be considered flirting made for a weird 4 years. No horror stories to tell though , just plenty of awkwardness.
I went down the rabbit hole of stoicism 15 years ago when I had a lot of existential anxiety and while it didn’t miraculously help, it really did nudge me into a new path over time.

Same! Only reason I still use it is for Community events, and neighbour groups. Super useful for that. Wish there was a way to do that without being peppered by ads and reels.
Marketplace is a Kijiji replica so it could die with little consequence IMO.
Symbiosis in nature….it always brings up feelings of awe and wonder for me.
Especially in forests. The "wood-wide web" or "mycorrhizal network" being my latest obsession . The fact that the fungi joins the trees together through the roots to allow for exchange of nutrients, water, and chemical signals between plants.
And then there’s the forest canopy, and the role it plays in keeping the forest healthy.
I get the same I’m on lemmy.ca.
In my profile settings I chose French , English and Undetermined because there’s a note saying if that’s not picked then you can’t see most posts.
