So I've been getting assisted by this teenager Jack the last few days, helping me apply an insulin shot to a fat cat I am caring for that turned out to be quite volatile and aggressive and frankly I have not felt safe approaching her. Jack has come in for a few days wearing all protective leather biker gear so we can ensure she stays alive.

Finally today we get to talking a bit and I asked him about the little carpentry project he was doing with his coder dad a couple days ago. Turns out his dad is taking a sabbatical for a month and focusing on creative endeavours.

He starts asking me what I do and I blur out a bunch of words to explain my direction and the field I am oriented in and looking to be involved in whether with my healing and spiritual guidance and community care or in other perhaps marketing, story telling and community organizing endevours.

Hearing me he begins to mentions he is interning at his aunt's foundation where they are creating an open source library for disability resources. And he mentions his uncle and his job at a foundation focused on free speech which causes me to bring up Nostr.

Then he says, "oh yeah and my dad's friend Kevin invented this thing called #Meshtastic".
