Our connection with nature is often too disconnected, and yet we as humans have so much power of it. Artist @pomares.axelle's gentle nature illustrations remind us to not forget about the rest of the living world, and hopefully, to act and do a little more to help nature survive.

What can you do today to help the nature local to you?

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental
