Last Notes npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn There are many better relays 🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Best time to get address paperwork updated is when you've already planned your move to a different place 💯🤣 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Every time I see one of these data breaches I thank goodness that I'm such a nomad. You'll get a pic of my smiling face and an address that I haven't used for 1-2 years 🤣 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Get the primal relay off of your inbox relay list 💯 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Fixed it for you 🤠 https://blossom.primal.net/15324ce91b325378e9d67cb0221ad251272cbf5031a1a9a7351fd3f1cba8acc0.jpg npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn The real question is, will you be able to make a rug or coat out of its pelt? I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. Here I was thinking my groundhog troubles were bad 😞 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn https://blossom.primal.net/7c21c6a940726c5a04245c36efae44cf5129b8efa70c5c33362a69515237803f.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Stay single, Anon 🫂 #nevent1q…ahx3 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Life is always ups and downs, it makes you appreciate the good times more 🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Pfft. Life was bad when I was on Twitter. I was so weirdly angry at nothing. I pop into the different clients a little bit over the course of the day. They each have different people that I see. I like to engage broadly. Lately I'm really digging Ditto because it's just so fun looking 😁 Amythest is still my regular though. I love that it's like a million different Nostr tools. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Just on my phone I have Amythest, Primal, Wisp, Ditto, and Flotilla. The "Nostr" bookmark tab on my computer browser you have to scroll to get through them all 😅 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I'm always down to connect and chat about the projects we're doing. It's my hope to set up templates so others can do similar things all over 😁 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn It's exactly why I started the group 🥰😁🥰 We all need to be independently prepared, but also the community needs to be prepared. I used to be pretty deep into prepper culture. But it's honestly kind of a downer most of the time. If I survive some craziness, I want to be able to be with other people enjoying a cup of coffee... Or idk dandelion root tea if the supply chains f the coffee supply 🤣 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I am excited to read it! I don't know much about the area myself 🤔 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Let's get this trending I'm curious too 😁 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Yes it's only about 15 minutes from here. I intend to visit once my life is slightly less chaotic 🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn You know, I've been feeling like maybe I'm under a bad star here in Staunton what with the atrocious luck I've been having... But tonight was the first session of the Staunton Citizens University. I met so many amazing and inspiring people who fell in love with this place just the same as me 🤩🥰🎉 I feel all warm and tingly and excited! I've often not fit in and spent a lot of time alone as a result. At a certain age I just decided to use the same relentlessness I bring to my work to my community life. I fit in because I roll up my sleeves and carve out a spot for me. There are so many people like that here that it creates one of the most vibrant and friendly cities I've ever seen. I can't wait to learn about their projects and participate even more! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Broken system 💯 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Focaccia turns out soooooo good, congrats on the kitchen explorations!! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn It gets really frustrating because their big opening move is always like, "put me in my place!" Type shit and my instant reaction is kind of disgust even though I totally get the impulse 🙄 https://blossom.primal.net/2d63dd822f4a6271773703313ba1d538364338af5875ef0d23b6d168fca54af9.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Pictures and videos documenting day in the life type stuff, sketches of garden plans, harvest updates all get zaps from me 🥰⚡🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn From what I've seen it's a bit anemic, a consequence of everyone wanting to stay Anon I think. I've used OpenStreetMaps in my projects but it could be improved upon. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn For more details on the project: https://www.whsv.com/2025/04/18/food-map-aims-help-virginians-find-local-produce/ npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn One of the things my group was really excited about when I presented Opossum Wire was to introduce me to Olivia Hathaway's work on the food map of the valley. It's now all the farmer's markets in Virginia (but obviously this could be expanded out). They see utility in having such information in one place, and it could be a nice lil additional feature for such a client. I would absolutely love it if I could help her transfer this away from Google. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1-MMqxF6FuT4CcXgi2LAgGnunviqzJA8&ll=38.86049980829921%2C-78.14991010845316&z=6 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn 🤔 I follow a ton of homesteaders / gardener types. It seems like a big enough community that it might be easier to onboard if there was like an "OnlyGrows" type client 😅 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Sounds like end of the month problems 🫂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn This is absolutely the kindest way to deal with folks who can't help it sometimes, and you are a nice person for suggesting it. Alas, she is young and extremely fired up. She's from very rural folk, not used to having neighbors at all, and used to dealing with things in a dominance way. I know the culture well, having been raised to fight first and not show weakness. I'm giving her grace by not taking her bait, but with that type acts of kindness would be misinterpreted because what she seems to want is a fight. Basically every time I go outside it's like the "catch me outside" girl is there trying to start shit 😂😭 https://blossom.primal.net/79ef186223bb4601ec11d286677a74f58913f64d994dd5a5c3d788d4dca850a2.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Perhaps 🤔 I keep thinking it started with "cash" but then I remember that I currently use cash app and I think I might be conflating it. Welp. Worse case I just go through a few frustrating iterations but I have faith it'll get sorted 😅 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Ok what was the big normie way of getting into Bitcoin that we all hate because it's kyc etc? I'm trying to remember where I bought my bitties before I moved to strike 🤔 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn What relays are worst for this? I wouldn't follow any account doing this but the relays that allow it to stay up I can avoid 🤔 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I was just teasing you 😜 It's terrible that you weren't allowed the proper recuperation. I'm always astonished how poorly those in the military get treated. 🫂 And 💯 yes I cannot wait to get back to hips that don't lie 😂🤣😅 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Ah ankle injuries can be horrible, I'm so sorry. I always resprain it late in the healing process because I forget that I'm injured and wear heels again. Don't make my mistake. Wear boots. https://blossom.primal.net/e012ec56e078de8dbb4d2fe220c7f3a4e747804c8e0697e543c55b9c2232fb87.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Not really. Even the specialist was like, those guys just wouldn't have been able to find this 🤷 I'm already suing the drivers insurance and dealing with my own troubles and now some added neighbor troubles. I don't want this for myself 😭 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn How does one work this magic? 🤔 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn The ER missed that my hip was knocked out of socket. It wasn't until a friend insisted I see a specialist that he did a dozen additional X-rays and was able to see the issue. The only reason I went to him was because it was a personal injury issue, I couldn't have afforded it otherwise. No amount of rest and recouperating was going to put my hip back in socket. You know how painful and frustrating it is to try to walk on that? Pfft broken system, broken ☹️ #nevent1q…04hk npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Most online certificate programs you can finish in a day, and they aren't hard. Just find the most prestigious name and pay them for the paper. It's a dumb hoop to jump through. As you have non-traditional experience idk if employment services would help for exactly what you're describing. Honestly I've gotten a few finance jobs just from strategically socializing where the finance folks go. There's almost always a known bar that's the spot for financial industry. Don't get drunk yourself, do get them drunk 🤣 Make sure you have business cards that don't seem cheap. Make sure you're dressed and groomed to fit in with the other finance players. Do not look, act, or talk like you've ever been poor a day in your life. Get them to talk about themselves and WHAT A COINCIDENCE you are just like them. No matter what you or they are like 🤣 Create a mock investment strategy (you're consulting for a friend!) and force it into conversation. "It's just so frustrating because although my portfolio has a X amount of profit margin, he's still skeptical because I learned from experience instead of swallowing liberal university propaganda" Obviously cater this to the person you're talking to, but it is honestly a fantastic way to network. For the time being, I would keep Bitcoin in your back pocket. Bitcoiners are a bit of a joke in the industry (I say as both a bitcoiner and a financial analyst). You're going to need to prove yourself in more boring work first. It'll be frustrating because it is a lot of kissing ass, but don't you want that sweet sweet cash money this is what we all had to do 🤣 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn If you don't have a full degree it would probably be worth while to get a certificate. Usually these are pretty easy and you just pay a fee, I got a few from Duke when I first did career pivot to finance. I think HEC Liège probably has some, and I'm sure you can find others. Signalling with papers is very useful to let normies feel comfortable with working with you. Otherwise just have big swinging brass balls. You're obviously smart enough I've followed you for ages. Finance has a lot of dominance politics issues so just having stones goes a long way. They will test you, and if you seem uncertain that looks a lot worse than being wrong. Idk why, but it becomes a moot point. If you can be consistently correct and 100% confident then you'll quickly move up. Good luck!!!! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn https://blossom.primal.net/e656ce9c4d7fdb33ed4ac57517d05a51f4f0cc044f629b491a765cdca342fca4.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn One can hope 🫂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I like to fantasize about friendly neighbors and being part of a community 😭 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn That would be cathartic but perhaps not productive for de-escalation 😂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I'm not sure what either of these scenarios means? npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn She said (on the phone to whoever she loudly complains about me to) that she has a bunch of cameras everywhere and they report directly to the police. I have not seen any cameras, the police don't seem to a have any reports, and the noise ordinance here specifies "continuous barking for 15 minutes straight" which we don't come close to. That she is a liar in addition to a lunatic is also a possibility 🤷 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I put up an extra fence even so she can't go back in that corner. But at this point idk what else I can do. We just went out again and it was finally calm enough for her to go to the bathroom, she's been so stressed that she's held it for almost 20 hours this time. 😭 It's pouring rain here but I still stayed out with her for the full 10 minutes. Even though she didn't bark the neighbor still came out to loudly talk shit about me on the phone. I feel like I am drowning. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn What is wrong with people 😂🫂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I am struggling. I feel like I don't want to do my evening activities because I still am not strong enough to bring her with me. I don't want to leave her alone when there's a psycho threatening to kill her 😭😭😭 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Yea it's not ideal. I've lived in big cities most of my life and have dealt with crazy neighbors before. They're usually just people going through a hard time. Also I can be an asshole sometimes. This is the only time that I'm like, super confused because I honestly didn't think I'm doing anything that inappropriate? There's almost always other dogs barking who stay outside all day unattended. Why fixate on the neighbor who's dog is always attended and never outside for longer than 15 minutes every two hours? Like the unnecessariness of all of this has me literally so confused. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I get intuitions to do things and usually I just go with it. But listening to the voice in my head is always hard. For example, am I being ridiculous spending money I can't really afford to put a lot of cameras up because of my crazy neighbor? Less than 24 hours later we went out after 10 am on a Monday morning. We were outside for less than 11 minutes. Aurora barked at a deer and at the other dog down the street which was barking. Each time I redirected her attention because she's never outside alone. Neighbor: "I'm going to take care of that dog, and that's not a threat it's a promise!" Captured on video and audio from two cameras. I've reached out to the neighbors mediation service and they're doing some legwork to reach out to the neighbor directly. If they can't then I'll file a police report and now I have evidence. Thanks intuition, stay winning 🥰 This is so insanely stressful at a time when I still get a lot of pain just walking a block. I'm still mostly trapped in my house with my dog who is frustrated and lonely. The only person she sees regularly besides me just screams insults at her, calls her a bad dog, and is now threatening to kill her. 😭😭😭 God grant me grace 🙏 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Propagandists coming for Nostr now be careful out there Anon, practice discernment 🫂 I remember when it happened to TikTok. One day it was a lot of stuff about how all of our politicians are compromised by foreign money. Then ownership changed and it was almost entirely shit like this. "I just love Israel and I'm just being hot in the Israeli army, it makes you want to be on my side right. Come fight with me and all the other hotties we're all Gal Gadot and there's definitely no genocide happening 💯" 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Bitch STFU I'm already on several lists and I'll continue to fuck with your friends on the moon because I can 💪👽🌚🧙 https://blossom.primal.net/f4cb38766f84637f91027d8e744a9c608a2d394ae391d74136bd6885721b2025.jpg npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Why couldn't it be used locally? npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I'm just saying, it's possible 😅 Maybe your Bitcoin doesn't survive zombies but I hope ours will 😂 You come visit and we'll fix you a plate and give you some Satoshis to get going again in the beginning times 🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn If your community has a well built LoRa mesh network then I think it could survive 🤔 It would be slow and ugly but it's doable and it's a big part of why I'm building out our cities infrastructure so much 🥰 https://d-central.tech/bitcoin-beyond-boundaries-transmitting-through-radio-waves/ npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn It removed the attack vector 🤷 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn 🤣🤣🤣 I will 💯 not be bringing cookies to anyone acting this unhinged towards me. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn What a productive day 🙃 good night Nostr https://blossom.primal.net/7deee03371510de1f5e755a7e2a2c05085c8413b20629697b295f71cd6db5c33.jpg npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn https://blossom.primal.net/cd026fd06c4b3434fbf582f4df2e44415563738143141b31f1d00027adf2d10a.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn It's a joke but at the same time wtf.

Huh, what a thing to say! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn + Scorpio rising 😈 #nevent1q…gztz npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn See I agree with the upsides of the default list as you mentioned. However it being almost all crypto talk is also a manifestation of that issue. My feed still has some crypto talk but it is probably 90% not Bitcoin related at this point. Check out @nprofile…h33y she has some amazing communities like spatia-arcana which I highly recommend. She's a rock hound and posts cool nature stuff in addition to the others that post overall weird and wonderful stuff 🥰 For travel I recommend @nprofile…hrwp he's an amazing photographer who's travelled through new Zealand and documents a lot of fantastic hikes. For the other stuff it might be worth while to scroll hashtags, it's great for discovery but unfortunately the bots spam hashtags a lot. A lot of folks like myself will boost content too, so sometimes just finding a few good accounts to follow can help you find more to follow. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Literally came here to post that 🤣 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Thank you, I'm checking it out 🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Primal has a lot of controversy which is at least in part because they get a lot of funding. So I don't want to not mention that, sometimes haters hating just cause they're jealous. However, they do some "quirky" things which can be interpreted as very problematic. They are much more centralized than other clients, and so have power to censor in a way that a lot of Nostr disagrees with. They also kind of onboard people with default follow packs so there's a group of Primal influencers that are only so popular because they're default selected. (Although again to be fair jealousy might drive that part of the hate). I had a lot of issues with their trending pages as the way they set it up seemed to reward controversy. So you see things like flat-earthers popping up a lot because tons will comment on those posts. However, I will say I've seen their trending algorithm as improving over the almost 2 years I've been here. Previously you could get on trending just by self commenting, boosting, and zapping. And it seems like they've changed it so you can't be a one person trending post. I even got shamed when I accidentally self zapped a few weeks ago by a bot 🤣 This most recent wave of bots does seem linked to their relay in the inbox. This is largely just because it's the largest client / relay so it's an obvious target for these types of attacks if you want to degrade the Nostr experience. So that's my understanding of the situation with primal. I still use it, but less and less these days and I did finally get a different wallet set up. Please keep in mind I'm an idiot so do your own research too 🥰 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I removed it from the inbox and that seems to fix it for me. I still have it in my outbox relays to maximize audience. #nevent1q…tvxg npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I'll look into it. I got two super cheap solutions for delivery today. I will look into better options too. It's my hope just installing some will be enough of a deterrent. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I drove cross country in a loaded up to the roof Odyssey. It still had a surprising amount of pickup and was fun to drive. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Ok this is looking like a very good option 😁 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Thank you, I'll keep this in mind npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn 👀 Oh this is a very interesting point 🤔 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Thank you! I will check it out! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I have a lil community group. I built Opossum Wire with a pyramid relay and custom Hallway client. It's pretty cool! The goal is that it will act as our time banking, repair cafe, and barter market "app". My group is largely not technical so a lot of eyes glazing over 😂 but when I was talking about the broader nostrverse I made sure to mention zap cooking and sure enough everyone was nodding along like, "yes! We hate recipe websites that crash the page with ads so we can't just follow the recipe!" npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Yea life is full of compromises 😭 I think for now I'll do a cheap and easy normie camera that's frivolous with data and upgrade to a more expensive sovereign solution later. npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Yea, it was just random yard debris so wasn't like a projectile but still. Better to act now than to wish I had acted sooner. Last night she had friends over and when we were outside she was screaming about "Do you see what I have to deal with you need to go talk to her!!!" Meanwhile Aurora was completely fixated on the Lazer pointer and didn't bark. No one came to talk to me so idk hopefully whoever it was talked to her about reasonable expectations of neighbors 🤷 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn When I choose to share online that's different than just always being published online. Also, it's gotten very trendy to dislike flock cameras as they are building a surveillance state. However, a network of ring doorbell cameras effectively creates the same problem only it's less widely understood. So I'm trying to practice what I preach but it's hard because ring is convenient and cheap, but it's those things for a reason 😂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn It's a struggle 💯😭 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Honestly it's such a good option, but can't those be problematic for privacy? Not that I care if China's watching me smoke cigarettes and mutter to myself about what else I need to do that day 😂 But it's kind of a principle of the matter thing. If surveillance is necessary, then how do we handle it ourselves responsibly? (I might even make a blog post about it for my group 😁) npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Yes and, it'll be easier to talk to police with evidence so it's not just her word against mine. I've taken to just recording video on my phone every time I go out. This is the same woman who when I moved in I went around introducing myself to the neighbors and she just stopped me before I could walk up the sidewalk shouting "we don't like people!" I was super confused but stopped obviously, and she said that they (she also has a dog) were from a very rural area and not used to having neighbors. Why she moved to a city when she's so easily triggered I have no clue 🙄 It's just such a shame because Aurora went from pup-about-town with tons of friends to the only person she sees besides me screams at her constantly 🫂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I will check it out! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Ok, does anyone have any security camera recommendations? I want it to record 24/7 especially audio. My neighbor is escalating her crazy to the point where I can't go outside to smoke without her screaming profanities at me and my dog. This is mostly just for defense if she escalates things to the city. I strongly dislike surveillance and I'm annoyed this is even necessary. But I'd rather be proactive and not have to worry about crazy neighbor trying to kill my dog because she barked at a groundhog. The neighbor already started throwing things in our direction, although nothing has hit our property. It's all just bizarre. I'm outside for 10 minutes every two hours. There are other dogs on my block that stay tethered in the front yard and bark semi-constantly so idk why she's becoming so fixated on us. HEAVY SIGH! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I didn't have time to do more screenshots before the presentation, but I talked about zap cooking. Everyone seemed way more excited about it than about volunteer Nostr client 😂 I hope to onboard them and send them your way soon enough. Having an iOs client makes that much easier thank you! npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Same.

I was raised by the riot grrrl community. My mom was taking us to shows for as long as I can remember. From 97-99 I was taken in a stretch limousine filled with ladies to Lilith Fair. I was only in middle school but it was such an incredible experience to have such an avalanche of female camaraderie. Ani was my absolute favorite. She would have long pointed fake nails super glued on and reinforced with tape down to her second knuckle instead of guitar picks. Her style combined almost classical style picking with aggressive percussive strumming. I must have seen her two dozen times during this era of my life. This song would sometimes stretch to almost 30 minutes long, with the audience shouting out their experiences and she'd riff a lyric around it. Then each chorus the dollar amount would go up until we're all screaming ridiculous amounts like "$500,000 a song!!!" It was insanely cathartic 🥰 #ladiesofnostr #womenofnostr anyone else experience this magical bubble in the 90s? https://youtu.be/M3bFM2eTAAE npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I am now accepting Monero 😘 #nevent1q…h5rx npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Now I too shall be an insufferable #Monero bro 😂🤑😂🤑😂🤑😂🤑😂 https://blossom.primal.net/e349e10871d636409b5a88ed4f31362d907985a8ccd1eb40e1aae4cb1b15fc86.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn https://blossom.primal.net/4d6cd366d157955b3bf4a8c889d26107e949dcf485c2892707841e5c3d04e848.gif https://blossom.primal.net/4bbf5e2a96ecc3265fb9f44dd7a0d9f5733e4ea782e81c2a19ba6c9f4a1eab62.gif https://blossom.primal.net/a9d67d816b3f471d8e202ea237afe44d84a10ee635435a83889299f5ec15268d.gif npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn 💯 only whiskey to be safe 🫂 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn Be careful this note feels like you're tempting fate 😱 npub1hspwpfkq7qddnj6h52c03muzgx79l7teeez99n57ys77g4m4vujs3hly9q Kip Ashlynn I really loved the west Coast of Ireland.
