We would like to hear from people about the impact the Covid-19 pandemic has had on them five years on

Ahead of the fifth anniversary of Covid being declared a pandemic in the US, we would like to hear how your life has changed since the outbreak started.

Have you changed jobs or moved home? Do you socialize more – or less –since the pandemic? Perhaps you’ve decided to take more of an interest in your mental and physical health?

We would like to hear about your hacks to remedy small, irritating problems

In an increasingly unpredictable world, there are daily challenges that we can find easy fixes for and make life better on a micro level, because if you can’t control the big stuff, why not start small?

These things are sent to try us: containers you can never find the lid for, impossible to remove garlic skin, washing that flies off the line, hair covered bobbles, glasses that steam up in the warm, grating the very last chunk of cheese or carrot.

We would like to hear from those whose income-driven repayment options have changed recently due to Trump

The online application form for several popular student debt repayment plans, such as income-driven repayment plans (IDR), have been taken down by the Donald Trump administration.

Applications for IDRs, which cap what borrowers must pay each month at a percent of their earnings, are unavailable on the US Department of Education website.

The Guardian would like your help to find out more about fake adverts or news articles that promote fraudulent crypto schemes on platforms like Facebook and Google

A Guardian investigation has shown how a single group of call centres in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, scammed savers out of $35m. Victims were lured with fake adverts and news articles, often featuring celebrities, including the radio DJ Zoe Ball and the adventurer Ben Fogle, which they saw on sites like Facebook and Google.

The adverts promote crypto currency trading platforms where the buying and selling is all handled by AI, delivering huge winnings. But the platforms are a fiction – a front for the scammers. They don’t exist.

We’d like to hear how the political landscape in Canadian communities, families and workplaces has been affected by the tensions with the Trump administration

As Canada has announced retaliatory measures against the US after Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on Canadian goods, we’d like to hear how the tensions between Canada and the US administration are affecting the political landscape across Canada.

Have political views in your family, community or wider area shifted? We’re also keen to hear whether relationships of Canadians with American family members, friends and colleagues have changed.

We want to hear what it’s like to run events such as marathons while wearing fancy dress

More than 50,000 runners are expected to join the London Marathon on 27 April, after the event through the capital’s iconic sites helped raise £73.5m for charity last year.

Some people will be pushing themselves to achieve a competitive time, but other participants will be running in fancy dress.

We would like to hear from those working in diversity, equity and inclusion and how they feel about Trump’s rollbacks

Donald Trump has signed two executive orders aimed at unwinding the federal government’s decades-long push to ensure an inclusive workplace that reflects American society.

The Trump administration ordered all US federal employees working in diversity offices to be put on paid leave and their programs ended, although a judge recently blocked the orders.

We’re curious to hear whether the ways in which people have experienced housing have affected or even changed their outlook and politics, and if so, how

As housing – the lack, cost, and quality thereof – continues to dominate political agendas globally, we’re keen to hear how the experience of housing may have affected people’s politics and general views.

Has your experience of housing been rather positive or negative? Has housing been a problem that has shaped other parts of your life, or have you experienced housing that has provided opportunities? Have you experienced housing only as a consumer, or also as a business? Have any of these or other experiences changed your political thinking or values, your habits or your outlook on the world? Tell us.

With the app shutting down, we would like to hear what you remember about the internet calling service

After two decades, the internet calling service Skype will be shut down by Microsoft in May. The tech giant says it will focus on its homegrown Teams service by simplifying its communication offerings.

With the service being synonymous with video calling when it launched, we would like to hear your memories of Skype. What did you think of it when it first started in 2003? What do you remember most about using Skype? For example, was it an invaluable communication tool in your long-distance relationship?

We’d like to hear from parents and teachers who’re introducing AI to younger children and find out how they’re instructing them how to use it

Across the world since the release of ChatGPT, we have seen younger and younger people make use of artificial intelligence chatbots and image generators for their schoolwork and their lives at home. First, students in universities adopted AI, then teenagers in secondary schools, often with their parents unaware of it. Now, we’d like to know how the youngest among us are learning about AI.

AI companies typically prohibit children under 13 from using their products in terms of service agreements. Some parents and teachers, however, are introducing ChatGPT and other AI to their children and their students in the hopes that an early familiarity with the technology will prepare them to succeed in the future.
