The world feels like it’s on fire right now…

Hey, we are new here so it’s introduction time…

PappasBland is the collective work of Diana Pappas and Tom Bland. We are photographers and partners in work and life. Photography and the internet brought us together when we lived an ocean apart. Remember Flickr? Yeah, that’s where we met. After writing to each other for a year (Hoboken <-> London), we met IRL and our lives and work as visual artists were forever intertwined.

Today we work together as #photography partners under the umbrella of PappasBland, producing art prints of our photographs, helping our clients tell their story with photography, and pursuing our personal projects – all while writing an ambitious newsletter via Substack.

We are based in the beautiful Berkshires in western Massachusetts.

Looking forward to using #nostr and getting to know the community here.

Looks like a powergrab to me... but I am not really informed regarding south Korean politics

Hate to say this, but I just got off of calls with three very powerful people. No, they're not wildly rich. No, they don't control the lives of many others. No, they aren't going to pump the price of your bags.

Their power is their self-sovereignty and their desire to be free, happy, and purposeful.

You too are equally powerful. You only need to want to live your purpose and commit to doing so as your first step, even if you don't yet know what that is.

From there you'll start to see a purpose you're passionate about and able to become more excellent at through the course of your life. And then, let go of your fears and start working towards making your dream a reality through hard work, perseverance, conviction, openness, an abundance mindset, focus, and determination.

Did you know he has a PhD?

My parents said goodbye to their husky earlier today. Duke was a great doggy. 💜🤙🏻🫂 My dad is very upset. He wanted a husky most of his life. He never had one. We always had other dogs when I was a kid. Finally, he got one about 15 years ago. Goodbye Dukey, we'll miss you.

Make Zapping Great Again!

Hey guys, my name is Tim. Just got onto this platform today, and I’m excited to start sharing. I love learning about the body, energy, the universe, and more, and using my knowledge to help people. First pic on here: temezcal last week🔥

Sounds like #XRP stands for eXtremely Rough Propaganda.

Shoutout to #Bitcoin!

For the fifth time in 2024, I was pleased to receive the following announcement from BarclayHedge:

"Dear Jeff Ross,

Congratulations!

We are pleased to announce that Vailshire Capital Management LLC has been featured in BarclayHedge's Monthly performance rankings. Vailshire Partners, LP has ranked number 1 in the Multi-Strategy category for October 2024."

Here's the complete list of awards (so far) for 2024... which has been a historic year for my small friends and family fund.

This is an encouragement to get into #bitcoin in a meaningful way, not a solicitation to invest.

Cheers.
