Apparently microdosing shrooms is all the rage among working moms now. Can any Nostr moms confirm or share their experiences?

I always feel wary of data collection… there’s too much of it everywhere.
That said, most Nostr content doesn’t interest me, I’m an independent musician and sound engineer so my world is far removed from nonstop bitcoin and Nostr talk. In answer to the
first of nostr:npub1494rtg3ygq4cqawymgs0q3mcj6hucvu4kmadv03s5ey2sg32df5shtzmp0 ‘s questions. I got objectionable content on sign up from a bot, which I think was some sort of test to see if I can handle ‘free speech’. Free speech to me is more free Julian Assange than yay I can say retard but if that’s someone’s jam, that’s on them.
I’m here because I understand the importance of information networks and I dislike platforms that dictate what I see and actively seek to do harm for profit.
I mostly use the Fediverse, that being my only social media platform since 2019. Nostr is a protocol, not a corporation. That interests me.
I understand your concerns about data collection. In this case, the collection and use of the information would be completely transparent. The questions also wouldn’t be invasive.
Good questions. Nostr hasn’t figured out a good way to give people control over content they see beyond the mute button, which only works after the fact.
I’ve always been interested in who exactly makes up the larger nostr community. I feel like they are a lot of assumptions about the demographics and values of the people who use nostr regularly.
The loudest voices on nostr don’t necessarily speak for the majority, which probably makes it difficult to create effective solutions to improve the platform and grow the community.
It would be interesting to develop a survey of some sort to help us truly understand what people like and dislike about nostr and identify opportunities for growth.
I would love to hear people’s opinions on what information would be helpful to collect and even connect with folks who may interested on collaborating on something like this.

Working in healthcare, I can tell you that US hospitals deal with bed shortages too. This is in a mid-size city. US has terrible access to care, and something needs to be done about it. Health insurance coverage in the US is horrible. companies suck. You don’t know how many hours I’ve wasted doing prior authorizations and appeals for cheap generic medications. Insurance companies in the US dictate healthcare to the detriment of patients.
Listening to this song while drinking my tea this morning.

I vaguely remember seeing a network diagram of Nostr users. Does anyone know where I can find it or who was working on it? Thanks! #plebchain
This is an interesting development regarding Julian Assange…
Yep, you can the music industry fighting “pirating” music. Record labels missed out on their opportunity to control music streaming.
I would also add far-right nut jobs who can’t cope with the fact that the world no longer revolves around cis-het men to the list, but I know that is not a popular opinion on Nostr.
I don’t know. I’m pretty cold-natured. I feel like I’m 🥶 at 65F. Being warm feels more cozy to me. I’ll sometimes even through my comforter in the dryer to warm it up and then snuggle under it while wearing sweat pants and a hoodie 🛌. It feels like I’m in heaven.
Picanha 😋. First learned about it from Guga Foods on YT. I think he’s Brazilian too.
Looks good! Please share the recipe if you don’t mind. Food content creators on IG are an alternative to The NY Times app. IG content creators are just as creative, and their recipes are free and not overly complicated.

Bitcoin is a tool for social change, enabling individuals to resist oppressive financial systems and build a more equitable future.

Morbid obesity causes significant morbidity and mortality. If an obese patient has had multiple failed attempts to lose weight and is now experiencing health issues (e.g. diabetes) due to their weight, then yes, prescribing a diabetes medication may be appropriate. This is the patient population that most physicians recommend prescribing GLP-1 agonists for weight loss.
The fact that celebrities and med spas have turned taking these medications into a trend doesn’t mean that they are not clinically useful. The misuse of these medications by people is also not a reflection of evidence-based medicine.
The reasons why patients gain and fail to lose weight are complex both on a psychological and biological level. The same way many substance users simply just can’t stop using drugs is the same way many obese individuals simply just can’t stop eating.
