It took almost 9.5 years to make 20,000 edits with OsmAnd for OpenStreetMap. Thanks to Quick Action it has recently become easier and faster. But since the introduction of Streetcomplete and especially Mapcomplete, I've been mapping a little less with OsmAnd lately. Let's see how long I need for the next 10,000.

The public have grave concerns that it was inadequately prepared and that it has been used to justify inadequate medical treament of #Transgender people. If the Cass Review is found as inadequate as it appears then the mechanisms which resulted in the review's inadequacies need to be investigated and made public knowledge.

Roman silver coin hoard found in Romania – The History Blog
thehistoryblog.com/archives/73…
"The earliest coin dates to 54 A.D., the reign of Nero. The most recent dates to 161 A.D. in the reign of Marcus Aurelius. They are all silver denarii and heavily worn so they certainly saw many years of circulation before they were collected."
O vídeo mostra um jogador de futebol vestindo um uniforme azul, com uma toalha branca sobre o ombro, caminhando pelo campo de futebol após um jogo. Ele está em um estádio lotado, com muitos espectadores nas arquibancadas. O jogador parece estar conversando com um árbitro vestido em preto e amarelo, enquanto outros membros da equipe e funcionários do estádio estão ao redor. O jogador segura uma garrafa de água e faz gestos com as mãos, possivelmente conversando com alguém. A atmosfera é de pós-jogo, com o jogador caminhando em direção à saída do campo.

@grb090423 It would also not form a chair, table or barn when it dies and decays naturally. And yet it can be "housing" for animals and critters in its ecological space - dead or alive.
I just read an interesting chapter in Kimmerers "Braiding Sweetgrass" yesterday. It deals with those very moral conflicts: Who are we to decide who lives and dies, when we shape ecosystems to benefit our own lives? Who's house did we take from them to make our own?
Keeps me thinking.
@levampyre @grb090423 Interesting discussion. I like that quote who are we to decide who lives and who dies.. Makes you pause and think about our environment.
My initial point stands for me though, even if we forego morality or natural/artificial, this article was such a punch in the gut. And not because the one chair we see here in this pic. The artists made other stuff too, shaped differently. No one is right or wrong on how they feel about this. It’s more like an opportunity to observe our feelings about other beings in nature
