Exploring the play of duality and non-duality through art and poetry.

Thought it was kind of funny, two videos of horizontal people next to each other on my YouTube subscriptions.

Yeah, same here for last two years or so. I never thought it would be something that would interest me, but I enjoy the collecting side more than the creation side the last year or so. Always something unique and interesting flying about.

Waiting around for my pipe tobacco to arrive. Trying a new brand, bought amaretto and vanilla. Excited to see what it tastes like been smoking Sauvage for the last week. After rehydration it's not too bad, the stagnate smoke smell afterwards smells worse than cigarettes though.

Someone needs to remake the Edwin Starr classic War.

War, huh, yeah

What is it good for?

Maximising profits, uh!

War, huh, yeah

What is it good for?

Favourable regime change, uh!

I'm interested in the way words are used, the way they're created in relation to the symbol of awareness, and more now than ever befoee the way they're generated through our language models.

Edits by me.

(Verse 1)

In the Martian twilight, a tale unfolds,

Where pioneers wander and stories are told.

I strolled through the red, with a yearning in my head,

Seeking bread on Mars, with Bitcoin in my thread.

(Chorus)

Oh, I'm buying bread on Mars with Bitcoin,

Lost in a cosmic swirl, where the brave have been.

In the crater's embrace, where the future aligns,

I'll break bread with Martians, under crimson skies.

(Verse 2)

I tapped my screen, the wallet gleamed,

Bitcoin's power, a currency redeemed.

Through the Martian bazaar, I ventured far and wide,

Seeking sustenance, where humanity can't hide.

(Chorus)

Oh, I'm buying bread on Mars with Bitcoin,

Lost in a cosmic swirl, where the brave have been.

In the crater's embrace, where the future aligns,

I'll break bread with Martians, under crimson skies.

(Bridge)

On this barren terrain, where hope finds a way,

The taste of the future, in each crumb I sway.

The interplanetary transaction complete,

As the blockchain hums, the Martians I greet.

(Verse 3)

In a Martian café, with a loaf in hand,

I meet a creature from a distant land.

We exchange tales of Earth, and dreams untold,

In this cosmic connection, a bond takes hold.

(Chorus)

Oh, I'm buying bread on Mars with Bitcoin,

Lost in a cosmic swirl, where the brave have been.

In the crater's embrace, where the future aligns,

I'll break bread with Martians, under crimson skies.

(Outro)

So raise your glass to the pioneers,

The bold and the dreamers who conquer their fears.

In this Martian saga, where worlds intertwine,

We'll find common ground, where our dreams combine.

Great power is worry, and total power is boredom, such that even God renounces it and pretends, instead, that he is people and fish and insects and plants: the myth of the king who goes wandering among his subjects in disguise.

Thanks for this note, I bought some the other night when I hadn't topped up my wallet. This note reminded me to purchase more storage. I've only got two images and a video on there at the moment, pricing is ridiculously good.

Hope you're all having a lovely weekend. I've had some quality time with the family at my parents, seen some of my brothers, sisters, nephews, and nieces. It's nice to disconnect from the internet and phone for a bit even if everyone else was glued to them. 🤣😂

New record of time spent on #Amethyst #Nostr

Think it's time for me to sign-off and chill out before bed.

🚨ATTN Bitcoiners, today we ask for your help. Please read.

Estela Aguilar, known locally as the Abuelita, is the founder of the first farmer's market to accept Bitcoin in Costa Rica.

Her story is inspiring. She has fought harder & sacrificed more than anyone I've ever met to defend her personal sovereignty, freedom & way of life.

She recently sat down for an interview that will both make your jaw drop and warm your heart. All in 3 minutes. Be sure to watch this video, it's the best one you will see today on Twitter.

As a mother of 6, she's been shot, beaten, arrested & jailed while defending her small farm in the countryside from multinational corporations looking to take her land.

This 74 year old woman instinctually knew that Bitcoin is freedom money and she was all in from the very first day we met. Every week, she gladly sells the products of her farm for Bitcoin. She's a natural born HODLr.

Just a couple weeks ago, she took in a family of Venezuelan migrants and provided them with shelter, food, clothes, medicine, anything they needed. Putting politics aside, she saw people in need and she gave with all her heart.

In return, one of these migrants (while on drugs & alcohol), intentionally set fire to every structure on her little farm burning it to the ground. Then they disappeared.

She's filed a police report, but doesn't expect anything to happen- these people are long gone.

We're asking you to donate some sats to help rebuild her home. Anything helps.

Have you ever heard the story about the British music duo who burned £1 million?

The KLF, also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, was a British electronic music duo formed by Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty in the late 1980s. They were known for their eccentric and often controversial antics.

In 1994, The KLF announced their retirement from the music industry. As a part of their departure, they decided to burn one million pounds sterling (equivalent to roughly 1.5 million US dollars at the time) in cash. The act of burning such a large sum of money was intended to provoke a reaction and make a statement about the value of money and the music industry itself.

On August 23, 1994, Drummond and Cauty, accompanied by a film crew, traveled to the island of Jura in Scotland and set up a bonfire using a mixture of banknotes and kindling.

The act of burning the money sparked significant controversy and debate. Many people criticized The KLF, accusing them of wastefulness and insensitivity to those in need. Others saw it as a bold artistic statement challenging the conventions of wealth and capitalism.

Drummond and Cauty never fully explained their motives for burning the money, leaving it open to interpretation. They insisted that it was a genuine act and not a hoax or publicity stunt. Since then, the burning of a million pounds has become a notorious event in popular culture, often referenced in discussions about art, money, and the value of creative work.

We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.

A bitcoin supermarket/grocery store/hello fresh would be a game changer because I'd imagine in the space of a decade the satoshi value for items would decrease significantly, not increase significantly like it does with fiat currency.

I've just read something in the media here in the UK, saying something similar which inspired this post. I feel sorry for the people that fall for this.
