Social Media for mental health?

I know, we already have tons of them. But are they really that different?

For some time, we've been exploring at Starseed Forest the idea of creating a new social platform with a twist: your mental health are the priority. Instead of trying to maximize screen time to feed an algorithm, this new platform would put your wellbeing at the top, letting you know when you've scrolled too much, featuring heart-warming stories and creative content for people to actually connect.

It's a long run, but in a world that seems to be running on the decisions of tech-oligarchs who only want to make more and more money, who don't care about people's feeling and are even willing to meddle in foreign elections because who know why... it feels necessary to move to a different kind of digital space.

Please let us know what your thoughts are.

  • Would you move to a new social platform knowing it's designed like this?
  • Do you think this actually stands a chance of getting somewhere?
  • What can a social platform do to make your life better?

Thanks!!

Trash has gotten so bad in Congo, artists started making clothes & sculptures from it

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, artists are redefining waste by transforming discarded plastic, scrap metal, and tangled wires into extraordinary wearable art. Materials once abandoned in rivers and streets are reimagined as bold, sculptural creations showcased in parades, performances, and public gatherings, where fashion becomes a powerful form of expression.

What started as a creative response to limited resources has grown into a symbol of resilience and imagination. Every piece reflects the ability to create beauty from what others throw away, while questioning overconsumption and celebrating local ingenuity. More than fashion, Congo’s trash couture is a powerful blend of art, innovation, and environmental awareness, proving that creativity can thrive in even the most challenging circumstances.

Last week I met with Pablo Garcia, Director of Global Penguin Society, for the first time in person!

Pablo Garcia is the founder and director of Global Penguin Society, an organization that protects penguins and their habitats around the world! 🐧

Last week, Pablo was presenting a documentary-series they made with National Geographic called Secrets of the Penguins, where they explore different colonies and feature never-before-seen footage of penguin life.

I first talked with Pablo about 5-6 years ago, after publishing Hungry Penguin on mobile and reaching out to many organizations to find one we could help with our little game.

Pablo was very welcoming from the beginning and very glad to partner up! Since then, we've been commited to donating half of Hungry Penguin's income to Global Penguin Society. 🙌

It was very inspiring to hear him talk about animal and enviromental protection. If you love penguins, I recommend you watch Secrets of the Penguins and download Hungry Penguin on your phone to start helping protect them ;)

Todos conocen Iansa, la empresa nacional de Azúcar y muchas otras cosas mas que nadie recuerda. Hace tiempo que Iansa viene en declive y han estado probando todo tipo de estrategias para salir adelante. Por supuesto, estas estrategias no incluyen dejar de gastar millones en marketing en eventos de ecología, ni dejar de arrendar las oficinas de miles de dólares en El Golf.

Por un conocido que trabaja dentro, me entere de que este año tomaron la decisión de cortar por completo la producción nacional, dejar de contratar agricultores chilenos que se encuentran trabajando arduamente a lo largo de todo el país, para reemplazarlos totalmente por importaciones.

Así es, el gigante del azúcar (y de otras cosas) ha decidido dejar de lado a los trabajadores de Chile para abaratar costos. ¿Como afecta esto a la producción nacional? ¿Tienen derecho a llamarse ecológicos mientras reemplazan la producción local por importaciones? ¿Cómo tenemos que reaccionar el resto de los chilenos al respecto?

Dejo la discusión abierta,

Saludos
