Now it’s bigger and has two distinct leaf parts, and if I wanted to draw it, I wouldn’t have a photo reference. Well, better late than never … I reached over to get it to take a photo of it, and surprise surprise! the two leaf parts had closed up again! This was especially surprising because a new tiny leaf was already starting to come up in the middle. So I got the photo of how it had looked from the start. Looked it up and this behavior / phenomenon might be “nyctinasty” or sleep movements of a plant. Common in plants of the bean family. Hmmm. #sageseeds https://image.nostr.build/d3f32b17f9636ebe14273f28dfaead92210c2c1dfee21d42f09471ba5f8b2952.jpg https://image.nostr.build/706bfb9e465475affb24943f37e48002779785abc740e1439bcdf5aea309af79.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d4035b6880f5eab10e7024fd3246ff868bceae5d7bdcf5774bc6f6c89975c3da.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi the sage seeds are actually sprouting - one in each pot.

Americans tried to introduce it to Manila in the early 20th century, but it was strongly opposed by local Filipinos who viewed it as an undignified mode of transport that turned humans into "beasts". The main mode of public and private transportation in the Philippines from the 18th to the early 20th centuries was the kalesa, a two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage.” npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi why would a horse *bite* a car? 😧 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi oh that makes more sense hehe.

Some of the new laws passed were trying to help working men and women deal with the problems of industrialization (factory work) and urbanization (dirty and cramped apartments and neighborhoods). The most significant new law was the First Reform Bill of 1832. Among a bunch of other things, the bill extended the vote beyond the “landholding gentry” to about half of middle-class men (about 1.5 million men). “Of course, it still denied the vote to all working-class men and all women” … people protested, and there was a Second Reform Bill in 1867, which "extended the vote to still more men”. In 1918, Women over the age of 30 were finally given the right to vote. (Women aged 21 to 30 had to wait until 1927.) So, 1867 to . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1918, then . . . . . . 1927, in England. (source: 2004 Introduction to Hard Times (1854) by Karen Odden) npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi Also reading Bitcoin is for Everyone. About 3/4 is about ‘broken money’, just written in a more succinct and easier to summarize way. It’s really depressing to read about the horrible broken money system, again. Just like the Charles Dickens book, I try to read a chapter a day. Or every few days. Or a week. On the plus side, it helps me to understand my experiences of being not valued and devalued at work, being managed out. Why did graduate school feel like an authoritarian regime? Why did the ensuing work place also feel like an even more targeted authoritarian regime? If the money system devalues The Money, that means it is devaluing people’s time and energy, or their experiences, or basically, their lives. So my experience, in a high cost of living city, is part of that. And if the world, aka human society has been this way, then maybe it’s a necessary part of going from being a young adult to an adult to experience that, so you can know it exists and understand that it happens. So maybe when I sometimes feel this anger and rage at a personal level, I can instead read more about “why and how our financial system is broken” and maybe, somehow Bitcoin could be a solution . . . for “everyone”? https://image.nostr.build/7a214e7b59bf4ce591ac5fa014d95e2a8d593f38072bb7ab8bff407e7adc55ea.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi haha! npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi ahhhh! again I have found clips of this style outside on the ground!

David Copperfield, Bleak House, Hard Times, A Tale of Two Cities, and Our Mutual Friend are the great works of his prolific later period.” The world of Charles Dickens begins with the 1811 publishing of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, arguably the first modern English novel. I don’t think I’ve ever actually read anything by Charles Dickens. Although of course I’m familiar with the plot of A Christmas Carol, which has been featured in many cartoons. One involving Scrooge McDuck. https://image.nostr.build/3efd866f775375db4a235801cfcf557c3889862bf96f3653673b651bb45b2980.jpg https://image.nostr.build/64c5ab58b424837ce93c3404431b39acbcfdba27895a6e61014da199e51ccb3f.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi 少见多怪 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi 🥕🍊 https://image.nostr.build/ea779c015af8d800decdb7956e6c00e098eb6f20f034d593ebdac9d6f2299c45.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi is it whole wheat mix? 🧇😋 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I like the font npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi 😌stickers with a cafe/coffee theme. #foundobjects https://image.nostr.build/84010f5eb1fd5d806a157ec100f46a356f30cb7cc7ba7644791a2e1fe7450f88.jpg https://image.nostr.build/922a8130c6619ac5abe19c6edf850117a291ae8ca1d6ad015f320c8244273d12.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi https://image.nostr.build/8d8c29d3af3b9bc489c3ff03b4b993c749aa01e927c307765004327faf9899de.jpg a winter display using mostly, actually … all found objects!

Like reddit + nostr = roster hehe npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi > A giant serialized string with an array of undocumented tags is no way to live. … isn’t all social media basically like this? npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi how did you meet him in 6th grade? npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi #Inktober2025 [vacant] https://image.nostr.build/332d485381a5bcfbd4d681e4855dff03114d361a996881f17f44021564ae5a1f.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I think vegetables *are* yum, and add spices to them 😊 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi ah yes. *technical voice* The 2 click design of the mute/block button is very good. However, I was talking about the ‘report’ button, which is right above it … which I somehow didn’t notice till recently. Should’ve used that one a lot more too. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi heh I didn’t mean to imply I would write long things on a phone. That would be horrible. I’ve been copying and pasting from a google doc. … either way, both seem to work. I’m just not used to creating accounts using my nostr npub. This is a first. Also not used to websites that don’t have ‘www’ or ‘.com’ npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi ooh thanks. hope it works via app on the phone …. ? an iphone. the layout looks very smooth. And it’s not annoying to click into (like redirecting to somewhere outside the app) npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi good post. what’d you use to post it? npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I think social media is good for several reasons. It’s probably mostly good for democracy (ex: the news) For individuals it can be a way to make a living (ex: youtubers) for other individuals, it’s good to have an online space to post stuff. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi it’s technically church property … in a city … npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi yes I know. I was pointing out the logical loophole that makes your comment seem true and paradoxical. and that’s why I wrote ‘lol’, cuz I realize you’re being a little bit funny. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi lol no, cuz if a lot of people agree that it’s important to try to be an independent thinker, it’s not just static, the next thing to do then is for each person to try to do that. it’s more like encouragement. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi 😯 does it get damp when watered? That type of plant with the big leaves seems like it needs a lot of water npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi oh I don’t know who Amanda Knox is … mental note to check it out. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi yeahhhh I just found out how expensive cannabis seeds are. 5 for $65. w … t … F!!! lol maybe I’ll look into it next year npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi that is very interesting. Usually the cuttings need to be soaked in water till roots form. I’ve been wanting indoor plants that can grow tall quickly that can act as a natural type of curtains. usually the tall indoor plants are expensive. I need weed seeds! 😆 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi oh wow it actually looks so good as a potted plant. This is making me want to grow one. 😁 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I think also anxiety is the mind killer (as shown in one way in Inside Out 2) 😋 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi are you talking about something money related 😗 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi it’s from 2021 😊 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi oh you watched it? I actually just watched the first episode, then read all about it on Wikipedia, then cancelled my 7-day free trial, cuz of PTSD. 😵💫😵 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi someone on Nostr recommended Fairy Tale, the audiobook. The reviews on amazon and goodreads are very polarized. most people love the beginning and dislike anything after that. Which I agree with. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi Quotes about the TV show Severance. "The same frustrations that led us to this moment as a country [United States] and as a world are the ones that I was feeling when I wrote this because I was working office jobs, and I was dealing with all these increasingly insane requests that are made of workers. This was born of that ... Employees are the ones who are expected to give and give and give, with the understanding that this is a family—you're doing this out of love, but then that is often not returned by the employers in any kind of a substantive way." Dan Erickson, creator of Severence (April 2022, The Wrap) It’s a really interesting question … where does each character take meaning in this world? Where do they find meaning? We talked about Dylan as being the capitalist where he’s got these objects that have been artificially assigned with value by the company in a way that I think happens in the real world all the time, where a certain car is a status symbol, and it shows that you’ve achieved a certain thing, and it’s designed to mean more than just the physical object. Irving is much more the spiritualist. So many companies like this have a cult of personality surrounding their founder or their history or their lore. And there’s … this sense of … ‘Yeah, this is more than just coffee. We’re saving the world.’ Not that I’m referencing any particular coffee maker there. But yeah, it’s Starbucks. But yeah, Irving has kind of bought into the more spiritual side of this corporate ethos. We’re in such a fascinating moment right now. I think that the pandemic became this catalyst for re-examining what role work should play in our lives, and what we owe to our employers and what we owe to ourselves and at what exact point you should draw the line between what of yourself you’re willing to give up for the benefit of having a paycheck. … the cult of personality that can arise around any founder of a company. The sense of like, ‘We’re going to bring you in and you’re going to be family, and you’re going to be part of this big world-changing thing.’ It’s a nice idea. It’s a seductive idea. And I like to think that sometimes it’s an earnest idea, on part of the people on top, but I think it can become this really scary, manipulative thing where the employees are the ones who are expected to give and give and give with the understanding that this is a family — you’re doing this out of love, but then that is often not returned by the employers in any kind of a substantive way. That’s where you get burnout, and that’s where you get mass depression and all this stuff. You wonder, does this have to be part of our society, or could we be doing something better? #laborday in America has violent origins of murder and execution 💔 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi this is a fun post to read. This needs to be zapped a lot, then Lyn or an assistant needs to send the zaps to poor people, or people who don’t have any of the bit. why is Rey a trash character??????? I loved that character. It got me into Star Wars again. Arcane is great for those reasons … but too violent… especially Season 2. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi it can be a fine line between … cultivating habits of self care and being self-centered. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi That is a good balancing point about regret as an emotional experience. I was thinking of how some people like to share pictures and words that say “live life with no regrets!” as motivational. It’s like, uh huh … how? It’s like when people say, “Be happy”. Seems meaningful, but not really. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi Bujo cover page for April I started skipping monthly cover pages around … January? For various reasons… but I started to miss it and felt the need to go back and do April’s. That month seems to be characterized by checkups for physical and mental health … the latter of which was helped by two shows - 👸🏽With Love, Meghan and 🐸Amphibia. The episode ‘Elevating the Everyday’ was about Vicky Tsai, who started a skincare company with her husband. She was having physical and mental health problems after working 10 years at a corporate job ☹️, but had a healing experience while in Japan. Her demonstration of how to use rice flour and matcha powder as a diy scrub was amazing, aka, simple & inexpensive. ☺️ #artstr #bujo https://image.nostr.build/1caa5e32c3708eda11d6643735ecec8995bd274fc26bcb068a44a1be322302f6.jpg #note1r4h…u2hu npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi dude I was hoping someone with experience might chime in. ☺️ Turns out it’s you hehe. Yeah, online said the iron pill with 65 mg is probably too much for most people. It’s possible to get the recommended 32 mg from eating a variety of whole foods. I get 2-3 day periods, workout twice a week. That’s a good change lol, from spaghetti and tuna. 😯 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi actually, correction! An iron pill may not be necessary. 😝Definitely not daily. But I think the recommendation to separate caffeine from meals applies (for women who are vegetarian or vegan, esp. after lifting weights or getting period). … will ask my PCP about this. There was one day where I felt oddly physically weak, and I’m wondering if it was related to the new habit of drinking matcha frequently, including with meals. 😬 #note1xqg…tv3u npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I’ve been reading up on nutrition relating to women who are vegetarians and the need for Iron. Basically, for women who are vegetarians (and doing resistance training), getting enough iron is important. You can take an iron pill, cook foods in an iron pot like a wok, and also, avocado and natto has a lot of iron. However, taking an iron pill needs to be done on an empty stomach, and it’s a similar recommendation for drinking caffeine, because having caffeine with food reduces absorption of iron. So what is the timing for having food, caffeine, and iron supplements? This seems to be the necessary schedule: 1. Breakfast w/ non-caffeinated drink (ex: ginger tea) 2. After 1 hour - have caffeinated drink (ex: milk tea, matcha) 3. Snacks … lunch … 4. Have iron pill either 2 hours after lunch or 2 hours after dinner In my mind, I was starting to think of matcha as like, a miracle drink that has it all, after googling ‘matcha nutrition’. It seemed to have everything. So then I got the idea to search, ‘what nutrients does matcha *not* have?’ And it tends to not have vitamin D and Iron. My partner pointed out that vegetarians tend to lack certain things that can easily be found in red meats, like iron, and how this could be especially a problem for women. So I looked that up, and found that the more troubling thing is that if one drinks caffeinated drinks with a meal, or near a meal, it actually decreases iron absorption. So, gonna try out this schedule. I stopped drinking coffee a while ago, though I’ll sometimes have like, half a cup in the afternoon to go with a pastry or something. Some desserts just seem to *have* to go with coffee. https://image.nostr.build/69699ced2cced18a7f47fc2c1aad27cdc1dd277b53bc28d634ed0cadd95c8215.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi yeah … accounts like that are creepy af. Early on, I got into a discussion about a general political topic, and that account ‘liked’ both comments, with opposite pov’s. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi i think bitcoin/libertarian/technocratic is ok … it’s when those topics are discussed in a very black and white way, and with supreme confidence that it’s like … time to practice ignoring 😬 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi yeah … interesting thought. the “influencers” / public figures here do tend to repost the same people. Maybe because the nostr feed is like a newsletter. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi Codonopsis, derived from the Greek κώδων (kodon) "bell" and ὄψις (opsis) "eye, to see". https://image.nostr.build/372fe662b6f3755f15ff9b087c368cf3c8e7b543bf02c9ffeaa3c7a213bc35e2.jpg #note1fk2…4anu npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi Today I started a year-long membership at a new gym. When I got there, the guy did the usual set up stuff, then at the end, asked if I wanted to download the app. People had been coming in and scanning their phones. I’ve gone to two other gyms previously, and both used a keychain card with a barcode scan. I asked, “what’s the point of the app? (Besides scanning at the door for ID, thinking maybe it tracks fitness goals or something - not that I need such exact data)” He said, “sometimes people don’t bring their keys. They just bring their phone.” I’m like, …they don’t bring their keys? “How do they get back in the house then?” Him: “*shrug* Maybe they don’t need it, maybe they always have someone at home.” I decided to use the keychain with a barcode. He was also asking for my email in conjunction with getting the app, which I thought was weird. I think I’m going to like this gym. It has a crisp feeling to it. *It has central AC* It’s spacious. Everything is painted black. It’s half the price of my previous gym. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi ‘tis! I felt the need to backtrack and take some photos npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi https://image.nostr.build/65c01a48f29e7fdde9e02506db4c989afaaf084c72472aa457468c09f45f0634.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi it seemed to me like the response was, ‘bitcoin has gone up so much that even if there’s a dip down to 90%, it’s still okay’. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi what’s the Streisand Effect? Barbara? npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi but children including all teenagers and college students? npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi the start of the video was about that topic of financial privilege…around 5 min. It was a helpful explanation.🙂 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi oh and I don’t really have a brand to recommend… the current one was bought from a Japanese tea store. I’m planning on searching on Amazon for organic, ceremonial grade… then filter results by bestselling, and look for reviews with photos that talk about a bright green color. 😌🤷🏻♀️ hope you find one you like https://image.nostr.build/93229ef2fc51d69d40103b06ebf5e7f567143c48f13a2742b04dbd1410ac9004.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I got into it again cuz I was reading how it’s both calming *and* energizing. And it really does… even on hot heat wave days. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi it’s also hard to do errands in the summer when it’s hot and muggy npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I did not know that… Have you read it? npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi what? How have you not seen it but hear it perfectly? 🤔a clip? I don’t get why it sounds like so many people would respond so negatively. When I heard it described as something that can replace banks and a type of code that solves the digital money problem (like not being copied and pasted, a unique record), I felt very enthusiastic about it. Just felt that I couldn’t invest cuz I had no experience with that type of thing and also had *several* student loans. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi got the idea to search up some color palette ideas 😊 https://image.nostr.build/9d9eed041f4a86d8762245ba3cff85c3d2b2c6387d4734416da00745aefdaf62.jpg npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi Yeah, I’m switching back to a watercolor sketchbook. 😛 As for the paints … I thought the actual paints weren’t too expensive. I got a 24 color palette on Amazon for around $20. (a brand called Dugato) npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi to get back to this convo, I decided to stop listening to the story. 😓 It was feeling like too much violence and cruelty towards the middle/end. The start was good tho! npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi hashtags like #artstr and I just found out about this one today #penstr help somewhat. also #artlist idk what helps for those who are not into those hobbies tho. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I think nostr’s association with bitcoin represents fairness to me. I also think the flexible and minimal layout of Damus is unique in a good way. But since people are social to some extent …. if one keeps seeing posts written in a tone/voice that is annoying, it puts a dampener on things. It’s then on the individual to ignore it or to use tools for ignoring it. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi oooh. I did not know about #penstr 😊 will add that to my mentally bookmarked hashtags. (short list of like 3) npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi there should be a “follow friday” type of thing for people who are ‘normal in a good way’. Normal as in well-rounded, balanced, personal/authentic posting style. Cuz I find the description of the “ideologically homogenous” posts to be true and tiring. npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi wow, forest rose?! 2 feet diameter?! TIL … 🍄🍄🟫 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi I’ve been holding back on taking photos and *especially* videos for at least a month or two now. (Probably longer actually 🫠 I’ve been procrastinating with this similar to how I procrastinate about the yearly blood test). There’s been *a lot* of randomly having to go through text photo attachments and deleting large files … which triggers annoyance, nostalgia, and grieving. It’ll feel really good to take photos freely again. Though I think I’ll try to be more aware of what I send in texts … and what videos I take. It’s so hard not to take long videos of things like: dogs playing at the park, the dog sleeping, the wind blowing through flowers, snow falling at night while passerbys walk by. 😣 npub19fpw0xcpwwkunhd52ryer82u5j6a3kppquplfyjhz3xc87d2cths7r8x97 zen<3lofi it’s been pretty sunny and dry, but saw a stout lil’ mushroom at the park. https://image.nostr.build/7d4bc83e7af7504600cb9d5cbf8c10e1b21e39f9c203d36d2d10fff6b21ef083.jpg https://image.nostr.build/9006640cf934190722c6068f92e7f0e02c8e585ef014530a7f34958f02f5f143.jpg
