I haven’t tried this client for months… you motivated me.
“when was I silenced, when did it first seem
pointless to describe that sound
what it sounds like can't change what it is—
didn't the night end, wasn't the earth
safe when it was planted
didn't we plant the seeds,
weren't we necessary to the earth,
the vines, were they harvested?”

and they had an “Untitled Martini” — delicious
Fun night at “The Untitled Art Party” but home before midnight… 📸: husband 
Ordered a book of Anna Akhmatova #poems on my lunch break. Also rereading Brodsky discuss her: “This is what no researcher of her work can penetrate because we are people of a different culture. We no longer have this ability to correlate events in time and space. This kind of disposition is possible only given a specific degree—not of tranquillity exactly, but of a different biorhythm.
It's not the same glut of events, phenomena, and so forth that has collapsed on us. I think that in prerevolutionary Russia, and even after that whole remarkable revolution, this other rhythm still—at least partly defined a person's existence. That kind of rhythm is a marker of a different era —the turn of the century.”
This comment fascinates me: “a different biorhythm”

It wasn’t bothering me— nostr:nprofile1qqsph3c2q9yt8uckmgelu0yf7glruudvfluesqn7cuftjpwdynm2gygpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgqgswaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5q3gamnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7whuvdg comment made me think of it & I thought I would say something incase it might be useful as feedback. I expect inconsistencies— the nature of the tech. What alarms me is when I looked again & the time range changed instantly— and I have been observing this for days. I know there are bugs, relay issues & whatnot— but it does feel uncanny at times. I think it will leave people unsettled.
The joke ultimately is on Nostr Town Square— just a hunch. Sustainability.
never mind— not fixed completely. The hour range changed before my notes tab resorted back to nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m profile.
That’s all I have to offer 🤣
on Damus. Not complaining— just something I noticed for about a week — I think. It’s like my main feed resorts after a while to nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m profile page.
wow— it’s magically fixed all of a sudden. I did notice this for days though.
So… for a while now— I see notes people posted for about a four hour range. Then — all I see is nostr:npub1qqqqqqyz0la2jjl752yv8h7wgs3v098mh9nztd4nr6gynaef6uqqt0n47m notes that he posted for days. This has happened even after I deleted & uploaded app again.

So many words… compressed time.
I have her whole book of poems called “Traveling Light”
This is one poem:
“You must be serene on the stage,
let panic live in the blade, but remain
still. The sound of the
audience will carry you
like a ship to the center of your storm”
