Men tend to place a lot of their self esteem on the ability to acquire and provide financial security. There is no doubt this current mess is going to shake some foundations, unwillingly change many future plans. If you find yourself reading this...
Remember, you are more than your money. All circumstances are temporary, and no matter where you land in the aftermath, life is always as beautiful as what you make it to be.

This is why intuitive is more critical than easy, imo. None of this is difficult to understand, it's just foreign. The sweet spot is just hard enough to feel a sense of accomplishment and get a glimpse at the brevity,... while also not leaving things in a state that is so hard that the process is overwhelming and the brevity is scary.

It's all a bit crazy to me. I know plently of people my age, who've felt hopeless through most of their adulthood thus far, that concede to these twisted societal norms... but you're right, I don't think they want it per se, so much as they are incapable of seeing life in some other way.

2026-07-30 02:43:55 UTC

I like how you've phrased that... being an adult and human action are one and the same. I've been saying "that's just life".

2026-07-30 02:33:08 UTC

Every metaphor for a garden overlays onto life (and vice versa) because a garden is life. One of those lessons is that you are not a god... that no matter how well things are going, things can and will go wrong, and sometimes there is nothing you can do to stop them from happening... because you are not in charge. Nature is.
This:
https://dawn.blossom.band/9aa33832cb22ee7069920b8ac3d60d54247f24068140c2ff923bf0e7858a1758.jpg
is mosaic virus. Nearly every plant species is susceptable to some variation of it. There is no treatment or prevention. It is carried in seeds and spread by bugs, tools, hands, direct leaf contact, even the wind. As a steward of nature, the only interventions are removing the sick plants from the garden, keeping bugs at bay, and practicing sanitary tending methods.
I experienced my first mass garden loss from mosaic 3 years ago, when I planted tobacco seeds acquired a random ebay seller. I watched as half my garden slowly, but quickly, died. Every morning, I could see how it was spreading from plant to plant. Everyday my garden became a little less vibrant. I didn't know what was wrong then, but I do now.
It seems that this year, I must have acquired some carrier green bean seeds from a different, unfamiliar seller. My beans are dying. There is a high probability that most of my garden will die very soon. I will remove the sick plants as they appear and I will tend my garden cleanly, but pollinators are going to pollinate and the wind is going to blow... and there is nothing else I can do but hope that some things make it through.

I used to think the whole "adulting is hard" trend was a byproduct of a broken monetary, societal, and regulatory system that forced a generation of kids to grow up too fast, just to be left to function in a world where all the benefits of getting older... things like purpose, achievement, family, risk/reward... were widely unattainable or, at best, stripped of their meaning, leaving these people clinging to the nostalgia of simpler times.
Maybe it started out that way, but more and more, I am starting to think that this particular mental weakness has been exploited and twisted into some sort of codependency-inducing psyop... adult coloring books, birthday cake flavored vodka, Pokémon beer mugs, adult happy meals with a toy included... nearly every temporary escape from responsibility that adults have, has been wrapped up in some sort of remeniscent-of-childhood theme. There is no lifestyle, conventional or alternative, that hasn't been tainted by the kidification of adulthood in some way.

The community itself lives on a pyramid relay and its many parts can be accessed through many clients. The homepage is here: https://spatia-arcana.com
There are 2 different experimental clients that I've spun up for SpArc, both are the result of programs intended for communities to easily create custom clients (and both were originally forks of Jumble, before evolving, iirc) . Which url did you happen to find?

- Republish any note for future reference.

Yesss! 🥳💜 Try all the things, find the ones you like, and use them. Find the ones you think will be helpful for your friends and get comfortable enough with them to explain them. Be cautious in following and unfollowing anyone until you know the client can find your full profile and visit https://metadata.nostr.com every now and then to make backing up and recovering your profile easy, in case some misbehaving client mucks it up.
I'm super glad you discovered zapping without NWC or a built-in wallet. It's reliable in comparison and you have the freedom to choose where your funds are coming from for every transaction. I operate that way & I'm a big advocate of it for anyone new to nostr and bitcoin. Paying an invoice you generate is an aha moment for anyone new(ish) to bitcoin. Seeing all of that happen makes it more comprehensive and adds some brevity to the fact that it's actually money and not some worthless in-app points or something. Once that starts making sense, the idea of self-custody isn't nearly so intimidating.
You know my favorites... but I think you should try sending a protected voice message to wss://spatia-arcana.com/internal with https://yakbak.app 😊 its 10x easier than it seems!
