I use apple vinegar and water in 50/50 ratio to clean the glass once a month. Then I rinse it off and ventilate the terrarium. Maybe there are safer options for once a week cleaning? Wiping with water seems to be not enough. I’m not sure catching and stressing frogs to wipe the glass weekly worth it. Any options?

Hi everyone! First of all, thank you for your compassion. This place feels like a little bit of fresh air. I came here for a fresh perspective and some hope.

I’m 24 and will graduate university this winter. I’ve been working full‑time as a freelance graphic designer for four years. I earned money while continuing my studies, hoping to be independent after graduation. Last year things changed rapidly because of AI and global crises, and the job market became unstable to say the least. I’m still freelancing and trying to improve my skills, but I can’t go full time employment until next year because of graduation preparations. I’m not a newbie, I know exactly what I need to focus on and what AI can’t do, I have a work to do and actually I’m successful than last year, but I’m very scared. Honestly, my heart is bleeding for everyone in this market who struggles right now.

I know no one can predict what will happen to this industry (and the whole tech/creative industries) in the next five years. I also know I’m young enough to start a new career or pivot if needed. But as I’m diagnosed with ADHD and have some attention limitations, I’m afraid not every career path will work for me. I just need some kind words to stop doomscrolling and some hope that young people can be okay even when times change. There is so much doom and gloom on the internet. I feel quite lost, so hearing encouraging thoughts from people who are older and have witnessed significant global shifts would mean a lot.
