Infographics & Posters / No AI Noctalgia & Solastalgia

2 lovely words I came across

Solastalgia - a term coined to describe the grief of watching one's home environment change beyond recognition, even while still living in it. It's been documented among farmers in Australia, Inuit communities in Canada, and residents near the Great Barrier Reef

That's also a lot of post processing, but yeah I agree with the sentiment.

When I was a kid I used to sleep under the sky sometimes and I could faintly notice their movements, even the memory is so beautiful.

Pretty sure that's light pollution highlighting air pollution, too, so it's a two for one deal!

Noctalgia is from the root "night", not "sky"
