The professor of rizzics has arrived 🥸 #rizzchain

The following list is a beta test, to be checked by nostr:npub12n7xd8xvqwj8k0v44yg3hlwutyyx85n28xx8zjwj6dykswuy28yqu7xsq4 AKA The Love Doctor first.

(Also not for married men to read 🤣, you guys won already 😭🙏)

Disclaimer – this is just for laughs, and totally my personal list (with inspiration from nostriches) and 💯% won’t work for every women/romantic interest and so not to be taken seriously (for the most part).

Do:

*Give her a cheesy pickup line to keep things ‘spicy’🔥 – make it ‘punny’ (inspired by nostr:npub17x7htjej3hgcqwqj86u9yvpcunhw6nz4zclzph2zfnlwe4v0yp8qrxvgap).

*Give her your jacket when she’s obviously cold. She’s not fine, she’s lying. (But don't chaase after her with it or anything). And if she offers to share it with you, she LIKES you.

*Write her love letters. Not every day, but enough times in life to show her you care. Make it a life habit, like paying rent 🤙

*hug her like a koala bear hugs trees 🐨

*Shower together - not all the time, but you get it

*Cook together - see above

*Be still together 🤙 - see above

*Let her rest her head on your shoulder

*Communicate - even Henry VIII kept in touch with Anne Boleyn when travelling... before he had her killed...

*Compromise – no one is perfect. Humans aren’t built to be. We are made to want perfection though 🥹. Be perfectly imperfect together 🫂 why not?

*Accept flaws – if they’re worth it 💯(see above)

*Be there when their dog dies 😭

*Walk on the side of traffic, it’s sweet

*Give her the last cookie. If she offers to split it, she’s a keeper. If she doesn’t, she’s going to break your heart 👀. Nah I'm just joking... probably...

*Good morning and good night texts/phone calls 👌

*Exchange t-shirts/hoodies

*Hold her hand 🩷

*Kiss her forehead, hand, cheek 👌✨

Do NOT:

*Repeat your stories 5 times a day... I think she heard you 😭

*Forget special occasions

*Mention weight 😵‍💫🤦🏽‍♀️⚔️☠️

*say ‘I love you’ without meaning it. And if you do mean it, say it sparingly, and show it often 🙏 means more this way.

*Steal all her pens. Annoying.

*Use baby talk too much, if at all 👀😵‍💫

*Sit on her lap. I mean you can, but... yeah 🤔

*Play her your bad music that you wrote 🥲

*Steal her food 🐻

*Hog the covers ⚔️

*Steal all her left socks ❓

*Call her bro too much

*Go to bed mad at each other

*cheat 😅

*No hitting, biting of scratching – unless thats what you’re into 🤙

*Call her baby (inspired by nostr:npub1y67n93njx27lzmg9ua37ce7csvq4awvl6ynfqffzfssvdn7mq9vqlhq62h) babe is cute though 🥹

*Check her phone. Mutual trust is sexy 😉

*Be mean to get her attention 😭 negging sucks. Banter is cool though 😎

*Open her eyelids when she sleeps 👀

*Open the door for her, then stop her walking in first 😭 whyyy

*kiss her neck when you aren’t even dating 😵‍💫😖🙅🏽‍♀️

*if she’s not reciprocating, DO NOT GO IN FOR THE KISS. Abort, abort, abort! Trust me 🙏

*Be majorly egotistic/arrogant 👎 (inspired by the lovely nostr:npub1suwxj6qxnts2ls8jr0lpjy95386kr9y5ckn7qep5c95063wcj5eqh4rlxf (who I should also add is none of those things💜))

*Carry a list of past partners around to show dates 😅 (inspired by a nostrich, he knows who he is🙏🤣)

*Lie 👎 but don’t be brutally honest 😭 I dunno, there must be a middle ground, surely

Well, I've clearly got far too much time this Sunday so I'm going to go do some work 😭🥹💜🤙

Adorable 💜 You should write a little Chap Book of advice & sell it for Bitcoin. I would buy one for my son! 🤣

Chapter 15 of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a 's book gets real. I had to get out of my hammock, get a pen, and start writing a state machine down just to make sense of what she is trying to say.

But it's very cool. I hope somebody makes a little game out of Chapter 15 so we can all play Jerome Powell for a day and better understand the repercussions of our/his actions.

taking notes on an illuminating chapter is the best feeling— and also research tells us the best way to comprehend content.

I’m decorating today for the autumn season… and discovering this photo of my son every year is a joy even though he’s in his 20’s now— it feels like yesterday ☺️🍁 My goal is to jump in a pile of leaves before winter.

I’ve always been amazed that people go cashless, meaning they literally walk around and even travel without cash, and just rely on cards to pay.

Credit and debit cards are centralized and can be shut off or denied for all sorts of reasons, or can run into technical issues. BTC/LN is better because it’s decentralized, although it still needs power+internet and merchant acceptance. Cash as physical bearer asset money is great. Of course I wish cash was redeemable for something sound, but maybe in the future that’ll be the case again. In the meantime it’s good to have a few meals or taxis or hotel rooms worth of cash on hand.

I always have a diverse mix of digital and physical payment methods on hand, so I never get caught unable to pay.

So far in life I have only had one instance where I couldn’t pay. I was at a restaurant in Cairo a few years ago and their card machine/connection was down, and were only accepting cash. I had physical US dollars but they were part of a bigger corporate restaurant chain and so didn’t have the flexibility to accept them. My husband normally carries Egyptian currency but didn’t have any on him that day, and since he carried it, I previously did not. Neither did our friend that was with us. So we had to go on an awkward search for an ATM for a while and then come back and pay. And from that point I iterated, so I always carry Egyptian currency in Egypt as well as my other methods. And it has come in handy a bunch of times, when my husband needs some spare cash for tips or something I always have a little stockpile ready to go since I am a stickler about always having a certain amount whereas he is more flexible.

I always have a kind of “prepare for everything” type of mentality and like to be in control of my situation, and thus always have like backups for my backups in various contexts, including payment or being able to access various types of value anywhere, even when such preparation is not really needed.

Great advice! I was thinking of this on a smaller scale yesterday when I was making purchases at a book fair hosted in a museum. The authors were selling their Zines, Chapter Books, leaflets… etc… I was excited to support the artists who were producing outside the normal means (publishing companies—not that I mind those). Anyway, one artist only accepted Venmo & cash. Luckily, I had cash. Another had all the payment options & I used my Cash App. It made me think about flexibility—

Reading by the library! Saturday bliss 🍁🍃🍁

I love my job— surrounded by wonderful books like this favorite of mine! (Animals By The Numbers)

Possible 🤣 I’m wearing one of my favorite dresses— to keep cool! It’s the little things!

“Camus addressed his views on writing most directly in a 1943 essay about the novel, included in his altogether indispensable Lyrical and Critical Essays (public library).

He reflects:

One must be two persons when one writes… The great problem is to translate what one feels into what one wants others to feel. We call a writer bad when he expresses himself in reference to an inner context the reader cannot know. The mediocre writer is thus led to say anything he pleases.

In a sentiment James Baldwin would echo in his advice on writing, insisting that “beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance,” Camus observes that all creative endeavor demands of us “a certain constancy of soul, and a human and literary knowledge of sacrifice.” https://www.themarginalian.org/2023/08/22/albert-camus-writing/

I enjoy the array of emotions! My sister— before she passed away loved making photo scrap books. She made 3 for me— one with pics of my childhood & 2 of my son when he was little. My other sister wants to keep the tradition going— for her daughters (she left us 2 beautiful girls). The plan is to have a scrap book day with all the kids. So yes— love looking at old photos!

Good Night Nostr— logging off to relax, read, & rest.

It’s going to be in the 90’s tomorrow in my city & my school does not have air conditioning 🙏💙
