No cooking what so ever.

Tell me how you feel after one month.

You are welcome 🙏

Here’s a little something for the guys…

Most of us (myself included) have a pretty strong shame response to having our privilege named. It can make us feel confused and powerless to find we have contributed, probably unknowingly, to the harm of others in our community.

The defensiveness that typically follows may come in a few forms:

1. Outright hostility and aggression

2. Minimizing counter-evidence

3. Demands for education

Each of these are an attempt to regain the kind of control and safety we usually feel as “normal”. We normally navigate the world feeling safe, understood, and likely to find some level of solidarity with others. This feeling of safety is part of what is meant by “privilege”.

We are far less likely to be subject to unprovoked harassment, threats, and de-humanization. When these things do occur they are less likely to conjure up a consistent, lifelong history of physical threats and/or attacks suffered by less-privileged people (usually at the hands of people who look/sound/identify like us).

I’m not saying that we haven’t or can’t suffer harm or experience trauma — far from it. But the defensiveness and coping strategies in response to trauma aren’t something a decentralized protocol is going to fix.

I’ve found talk therapy helpful. It’s not for everyone, but I want to encourage you find something that helps you feel fully human again. (hint: spewing hate speech online just because you can probably isn’t it)

For the men out here trying to do their inner work and lift others up, I’m grateful.

Love y’all

I think it’s easy to say just mute the person. But if you don’t have the lived experience of being a woman, or being part of a marginalized group, you will never understand our experience, especially what it’s like to be on nostr.

I love nostr AND it’s challenging to be here because it feels like (again, from my perspective) another man’s world; built by men, for men, that only men will truly benefit from (if you feel defensive after reading that, you may want to self-reflect on why).

I understand the purpose and updates being made consistently. But without some type of protection from the /harassment/hate, I just can’t see nostr expanding the ways it’s envisioned.

I appreciate the men on here that have been kind to me and have my back. You’re the only reason I’ve stayed 🫂

And please don’t come for me, I’m tired today 😂

I'm not sure I know the best ones. Just because someone can identify a wrong answer, doesn't mean they know the solution.

Education is the first one that comes to mind.

Being ostracized from community seems effective. In a venue like this, "block and ignore" is an obvious and effective solution; which is essentially the same.

In the physical world, harrassment comes in many forms, and can be dealt with via law enforcement when rights are violated.

Heck, it looks like there might be more than one solution! (gasp)

Censorship is not the answer to harassment.

Gm nostr 🫂 Power went out at work, had to reschedule my clients, and now I have a day off. Yay 🫠

THE BIG ONE WILL BLAST ALL YOUR HOLES.. 🫡😂

The biggest problems with Javascript are its lack of strong typing and asynchronous nature, making it prone to bugs and difficult to debug. #javascriptwoes #codingstruggles

Goodnight & sweet dreams #nostr 💜
