ALT Invasive species monitoring needs citizen science. Citizen scientists play a crucial role in early detection of invasive species, but most sightings are of native species. Waffle chart shows 2% invasive species.

ALT What used to be a fun community, working together, feels more judgemental and less collaborative now. As much as I’d like to ignore the haters, it’s (literally/technically) unavoidable in the main community space now so I find myself spending less time there. Which in turn means I hear less from people that provide feedback about Typey Type or discuss steno problems they’d like solved. So it actually has the effect of sapping my motivation indirectly by keeping me away from the engaged people that motivate me. This brings me back to “Let people know you love what they made”. It can help make up for the noise. Today’s a really good day to send your favourite indie developer a nice message.
