if you are unhappy with your life

then either increase your sacrifice

or reduce your desires

simple

We launched YakiHonne on Reddit yesterday. First video hit 3k views—then the account was suddenly suspended, no reason given.🤣

As the proverb says: “You only feel the whip when it hits your own back—by then it’s too late.”

That’s why #decentralization matters. On #Nostr #YakiHonne, this will never happen.🤙

I have many paintings and space is not inflatable. So when somebody wants it I will stretch it afterwards 🙂

“I have a little gift for you”

The paper shakes in my hands, the graphite trace of a wolfish gaze shines in the lamplight. I breathe shallowly – what if he doesn’t understand?

“I never knew you could draw like this. It’s amazing, you should keep doing it.”

After years of pushing art as far as my dreams, I suddenly heard a simple sentence that brought me back to where I left off years ago.

This marks the start of a decade of intensive drawing and painting. And portraits are my domain.

After another decade of close encounters with oil, I eagerly return to the beginning and dive in.

You could say that I owe what I can paint today to a few encounters.

But it’s true that without passion, I would have stopped long ago.

Anyway, I will always remember those who encouraged me on my journey, from the bottom of my heart. 🥲

Eating before you leave the house isn’t just about food - it’s about peace of mind. A full stomach gives your brain a sense of stability, lowers stress and makes you feel more prepared to face whatever the day throws at you. #nostr #psychology

So is Olas still being developed or no? Just wondering. I have some good content in it.

Earth will be fine. It’s us who won’t.

When people talk about “saving the planet,” what they really mean is saving ourselves. Earth has endured asteroid impacts, supervolcanoes, shifting continents, ice ages, and mass extinctions. Each time, life bounced back – often in stranger, more resilient forms.

Take the Permian-Triassic extinction, 252 million years ago. It wiped out over 90% of species, the closest life on Earth has ever come to total annihilation. But the planet itself didn’t collapse. Within millions of years, ecosystems stabilized and new creatures, like the ancestors of dinosaurs, began to dominate.

Or consider the asteroid that ended the reign of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. For the dinosaurs, it was apocalyptic. For Earth? It was just another chapter. Mammals, once small and marginal, flourished in the aftermath – eventually giving rise to us.

That’s the pattern: Earth reshapes, recovers, and moves on. Species vanish, climates swing, oceans rise and fall – but the planet keeps going. What’s fragile isn’t Earth. It’s the thin margin of stability we depend on.

Humans evolved during a remarkably stable stretch of climate, the last 10,000 years, when temperatures, rainfall, and coastlines stayed within a narrow band. This is the window in which agriculture, cities, and civilizations flourished. Push the system too far – with rising temperatures, acidifying oceans, or collapsing ecosystems – and it’s not Earth that’s at risk. It’s us, and the complex web of society that depends on this stability.

Geologically speaking, Earth doesn’t need saving. What needs saving is the delicate balance that allows eight billion people to thrive on its surface.

So when we say we must “save the planet,” what we really mean is protecting the only conditions that make it possible for us to survive here.

#WordWeavers 14, Choose a character's experience that you'd like to have.

Well, I have written some utterly transcendental and magical orgasms.

Oneiroi can perform a spell that shares senses. Making the trio able to feel each other's physical sensations. Which got them in such a blissful state, Freya accidentally cast a spell to let all the wood in the house sprout branches while Oneiroi accidentally gave the entire city wet dreams, even those who weren't asleep.

What do faith and fear have in common besides the letter F? They both believe in a future that hasn’t happened yet. Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future. Don’t believe the lies of fear. Choose faith and believe in a positive future today!

People love to say “orange juice is just sugar water” which usually means they’ve never cracked open a single study on human metabolism or actually made it part of their morning routine for more than a day.

Here’s the truth: fresh/cold pressed (organic preferable) OJ is not your cheap corner-store sugar bomb. It’s a liquid multivitamin your body instantly recognises and thrives on.

A nutrient cocktail loaded with vitamin C for collagen and cortisol control, potassium for heart and insulin sensitivity, B vitamins for energy metabolism, plus magnesium, calcium, and flavonoids that flare thrower inflammation.

The natural sugars? They’re not the boogeyman everyone freaks out about.

They’re the fuel your brain, liver, and hormones relax into. It boosts thyroid, CO₂ production (hello high metabolism), drops stress hormones, helps you burn glucose cleanly, and protects your liver from modern life’s assaults.

Drink it under stress, between meals, in the morning and your body will thank you. The more I drink, the leaner I get.

This isn’t “just sugar water.” This is pro-metabolic rocket fuel that hydrates your cells more than any plain water.

Enjoy this medical advice. 🍊

Nostr crew, tired of big ride-share corps skimming off drivers? Fresh from #BalticHoneybadger2025 in #Riga where frustrated taxi/Bolt drivers shared their gripes about high cuts (31%+!), here's a loose idea to float: An open-source app built on Nostr for truly decentralized ride-sharing. Totally decentralized—no corp overlords—just drivers forming local co-ops for peer-to-peer matching, real-time tracking, and payments via Bitcoin/Lightning (with fiat bridges @for newbies). No middlemen siphoning profits—modular design so locals can tweak it. Passengers get the same GPS convenience and maps, but the power stays with drivers. I'm not building this myself, but throwing it out there for anyone inspired—perfect for a hackathon collab or community pickup. Zap if it resonates, or reply with your take! #NostrRides #NostrDev #TaxiCoop #BuildOnNostr

I've never heard of anyone living in West Virginia.

I worked on my third novel today, for the first time in a very long time. It was only a couple or three hundred words, extending the chapter where I left off, but it feels like momentum. Hopefully, I will continue.

Specially because you're forgetting the PRO-extinctionism stance. It means that, when confronted with having to choose between preserving human life and advancing digital non-material entities, these billionaires will not hesitate to opt for the second option.
