Wow! So much respect!! 🫂
We describe processed foods to our 3 year old as traps (sugar being addictive) and we are the “(real) food detectives”. Not that anyone wants to deliberately harm kids but that it’s not the manufacturers job to ensure we’re healthy and that a lot of people don’t care and/or don’t know and it’s our job to know and make the right choices for us.
I think it’s useful for them to know that their parents (and later them) are in charge of their health, that that’s within their control, and that they can learn as soon as they can read what real ingredients are and ditch the rest. Fake food doesn’t get inside our home.
Part of the reality of the world you live in is that being in good health is not given, and it’s not even easy without a whole lot of learning.
Wild nature has its dangers and so does the free market led by flawed people.
Knowledge is power.
One of the hardest parts about becoming free is the goodbyes.
Some people don’t want to be on that ship with you because they’ve never been truly in charge of their lives, some people don’t belong on that ship with you because their only mode of being is coercion and their only fuel is fear, some people couldn’t live with the responsibility of fighting for freedom.
You’ll watch quite a few of your people stay stuck behind you as you move forward.
There’s plenty of good in the world and, in time, your ship will be as full as you need it to be. But until then –or, really, even then – they’ll come to mind. Those books might be closed but they’re still there on the shelf. You will see them, you will hear them, you will miss them, it will hurt, and it will be okay.
You can only write your story and if you’re lucky the beginning of some little ones’ stories. And that is the best use of your existence, to live your very, very own story, one that would have never played out the way it did without all of your fights, losses and victories.
It’s the only way and it’s so worth it. 🧡

Always anyway, but now more than ever. 🧡
Great listen. 👌

People who don’t believe in God haven’t met you. ❤️
It’s one thing to claim freedom and protest for it, it’s a whole other game to actually know what it is to you, find it, take it, rip it off and live it.
Every day of your life, you only get once. Never stop living freely. 🧡
Freedom is a ceaseless fight.
Most people get exhausted and give up in front of any significant obstacle. They expect life to be Netflix & Chill + Grubhub + Uber + Elevators.
Low tolerance of hardship has too many minds doomed, sadly.
I’m a gal and not gay in the slightest but I bet I could help you. 🙋🏻♀️

Sourdough is much better for that actually. The brioche kind is really just a fancy Americanized version, not authentic. Also, don’t buy sourdough presliced, that’s what makes the inside too custardy. You want to slice it yourself and you need super thick slices (4 cm or to 4.5 cm) so you have a variety of textures in each slice. Enjoy!! 🤤
This collab brings me joy! And how powerful. Oooof!
The things people can’t seem to learn from anything or anyone but their own mistakes, a big blind spot in the transfer of knowledge. I wonder if part of it is adaptive to protect thrill, mystery, the risk taking, the joy. If we could learn 50% of the « unteachable lessons » from even just the people in our lives, maybe there would be too little to drive us…
We’d rather get hurt a thousand times than not dream freely and believe we are special.
The mother who chooses to heal becomes the ancestor who changed everything.
Generational change starts with a brave parent. We may not have had the blueprint, but we're building the foundation.
Happy Mother’s Day. 🥂✨🧡
Thank you so much, Alex! 🥹🫂🧡
Yes, I am with you. DMs are not smooth here. Got to migrate. 🦆
What happens when trust—the glue holding society together—starts to crumble under the weight of AI, decentralized networks, and political swarms?
In the premier episode of Trust Revolution, host nostr:npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9 sits down with John Robb, a former Special Ops officer turned tech visionary, to explore this question. With a career spanning the battlefield and Silicon Valley, Robb offers sharp insights into how "red" and "blue" network swarms are reshaping U.S. politics, how AI-driven augmented reality might disconnect us from reality, and how social AIs could spark the next economic revolution. From the fertility crisis to the future of decentralized systems, this conversation unpacks the challenges and opportunities in a world where trust is increasingly fragile.
John Robb is a US Air Force Academy graduate, a former Special Ops officer, and a tech entrepreneur. He founded Gomez and served as CEO of Userland Software, a key player in the development of RSS technology. Robb is also the author of Brave New War and a leading strategist focused on decentralized systems and artificial intelligence.

Warning: this conversation might set you up to living with more sovereignty than ever before.
I met nostr:nprofile1qqsv0mdxvznteqns2v8g9d98wy4vm63wx8wq54hcmj244sqfalvhepsprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucnfw33k76twwpshy6ewvdhk6qg4waehxw309amk7apwdehhxarj9ecxzun50yw8tpyr six years ago, I’ve had the honor of sharing my life with him ever since, and every single day, I watch this man wake up driven by freedom, on a mission to fix trust.
I cannot imagine anyone caring more about this than he does.
This facet of his work has been gaining depth between walls for too long, and I’m thrilled it’s now available for the world to hear, and it’s just beginning.
It was already a movement, but now it’s Trust Revolution. 🔥
So thoughtful! 🥹🫂🫂🧡 Thank you, Alex!
I little piece of my heart is in those magic-making stores forever. 🍓
We think of you at every encounter or something timeless charming and wildly fierce. Which is quite rare, of course, just like you. 🫂 ✨

Life hack: study salt and pepper people you admire and learn from them. Close friends, acquaintances, colleagues, family, autobiographies, biopics.
They’re open-source mentors, and it’s not meaningless that the behavior of smart people past a certain age converges so closely. There’s depth in that. Much better allocation of ultimately finite resources like we young ones like to deny.
Kids may be cool and but where’s the wisdom, kids? Where is the wisdom?
It’s the forgotten art of having eyes on the (g)old.
Only half-joking.
Not one for this kind of post but I’ve recently rediscovered this, tried it and found it quite useful to break out of unwanted habits:
W.O.O.P. 🍦
What’s your wish?
What’s your desired Outcome?
What are your potential Obstacles?
What is your Plan (in an if _____, then I will _______ format)
#growthstr 📚 ✨
The older I get, the more I grow to deeply admire every person who loves well.
There is a cure for nearly every way that a person can be broken, and that is to be completely, truly, abundantly, unconditionally loved.
If you’ve gotten that from anyone at all, at any age, you’re a lucky one and I’m deeply happy that you carry that love with you through life. ✨
If you’re one of those lovers – love of any kind, that is – thank you for being you, and for making lives, and the world warmer, wider, lighter and more robust.
To loving better. 🥂🧡
