Violinist and teacher, building a homestead on raw land in between lessons and concerts. Fascinated by how we can develop resilience in our lives, in our families, in our communities. I'm excited about freedom tech and circular economies, and am deeply grateful for the devs and advocates who are helping build tools for a better future.

oh! thank you. I think I have to look at my relays. It's on my list.

This fucker obv does not speak for all Jews

But/and I'm not terribly surprised at the rise in anti-semitism. I mean, if you wanted to get folks riled up against Jews, this would be a great way to do it.

I think cutting funding will help a bit, but mostly it seems to me that this - on top of Epstein, and covid, and and and - will help waken more folks to the corruption in the system.

I have little faith that most will understand that the system is inherently corrupt, and many will clamor for MORE laws and more funding to fight the corruption, but still - I think there is less and less faith in government.

My ex didn't do this at all. I felt like I was on my own and left.

The husband that I adore is my companion as we navigate those stressors together. He has been mostly responsible for creating a bubble in which our lives are almost magical.

But a man who actually tried to insulate me from all external stressors and responsibilities... idk, I don't think that would work for me.

Former progressive here, and it's nice to see this, Trey!

Hippie-style liberals used to be champions of decentralization.

Have you seen the Schumacher library? I was cleaning up emails for my parents and found a site that surprised me. I can't find it exactly now but this gives you an idea https://centerforneweconomics.org/?s=decentralization

yes, incentive structure is decided by the receiving entity, or at least some of the players within in

not sure what you mean by "excluding illegals of course"

Because when considering the problems in Minnesota, I think "the real problem here is that the people in this state order too much wine"

Yes! nostr:nprofile1qyf8wumn8ghj7cmvxsh8gmnf0qhxgetkqy08wumn8ghj7enfwd6xv6tnw3ex2mrp0yhxummnw3erztnrdaksqg8903cp5tlhuuf2a4mv3gmcm863fqamgyndsnp0efc76enr4chws5tr9qr0

I got it this year and have now played it a few times with young family members

Good memory and strategy game, and great for understanding various aspects of bitcoin.

Random thoughts:

Another vote for compost toilets. Not having to locate/plan septic gives a lot of freedom. We've used only compost toilets for several years now and I wouldn't go back.

There's something particularly beautiful about houses clustered relatively close but then open land radiating out from that cluster. I think that there are probably a lot of examples of this throughout history. Makes social connections and defense easier.

Unless you have a culturally homogenous group, it can be very difficult to agree on aesthetics and building plans!

I would spend a lot of time looking at how human groups have created their spaces historically. A Pattern Language is a terrific book. Well worth a read as you continue your planning.

Love this energy 💕

ummm

and grieving aside, this is kind of bizarre, isn't it? I don't know much about TPUSA but is this on brand?

(Or are they thinking that they can finally get the kids to swallow Zionism if it comes with a dose of Nicki Minaj?)

it's never made any sense to me that we can't just trust our thirst. I guess that instinct can be corrupted (as hunger often is by bad food) but the idea that humans absolutely must drink a set amount of water today seems like bs to me.

I probably drink 3 or 4 glasses/day for most of the year. That includes morning tea. Way more in the summer and I'm outside a lot.

Also I find I'm much thirstier when I'm eating carbs than not 🤷‍♀️

Yes, sounds about right.

Not what you asked, but FWIW I think you're off base on your Candace Owens takes, and it's coloring your interpretation of recent Fuentes comments.

But it's been cool to see the direction of your show in general, and I love your growing appreciation for libertarianism and the Austrian economists!

I'm talking town, and I guess it seems to me that humans have always - and will likely continue to - organize themselves into groups. One of my goals is stay more connected to what is happening near me so that I can't complain about changes that I didn't even try to fight.

Yes, but the rulers at the head can be held accountable, which I think makes a huge difference.

I mean all of us - earlier generations but even now. I went along with the covid bs for months before I got my act together, for instance. I'm still weaning myself from the tools that give more power in general to the state and have a long way to go on understanding and getting involved in local politics, which is where I think we can maybe have some impact.

Maybe you are completely innocent 😇 (not being sarcastic! It may be that you in fact stand by all of your decisions and the tools that you use).

And maybe none of it matters post- 1913, that the effects of that will just have to play themselves out.

Somehow I'm still surprised by the incredible injustice of almost every aspect of this case.

Important to listen to this one, folks, and of course support the Samouri devs (and families) as you can.

Petition for a pardon, which is pretty much the only option for them at this point. It's only at 5k signatures right now!

well, it's a piece of paper. I think it's a good one, but it doesn't enforce itself.

We have failed to fully use it and hold our politicians to their oaths to it.

I do wonder what the US would look like with the same constitution but no money printer.

My husband and I watched Fargo a while ago. The last season was fun, but the programming was quite something: the bad guy - violent, corrupt, power-hungry, domestic abuser - was also: libertarian, rancher, sheriff, 2A advocate, prepper, Christian, anti-institutional. He believed in local over federal authority, freedom, the Constitution, self sovereignty and he railed against the tyranny of the state.

This is probably more powerful as an indoctrination tool than a thousand stupid news articles.

There's good substack about this from Gato Malo today. That cancelled show looks like a doozy.

🤯 I just listened to most of the White House press conference on autism and was happily surprised. Trump rambled and said a bunch of nonsense (along with some good things) but from the others there were a few gems, including encouraging parents to allow a fever rather than "treating" it.

Also from Bhattacharya a calm statement about the complexity of autism and how it's unlikely that there's one singular cause, that it's multi-factorial.

Bhattacharya, RFK, and Makary were all on the wrong side of the covid regime. I wonder if there's any camaraderie from those years.

I'm getting hammered in the comment section of a right-leaning substack this week. The account started as resistance to lockdowns and mandates - you know, abuse of centralized authority, censorship of media, etc.

The number of commenters who really believe that when Bondi says she'll go after hate speech, it's ok because she's on the *right* side with them against the bad guys... it's bewildering.

It's why I moved away from the Left - the complete inability of my cohort to see that abuse of authority was dangerous regardless of how happy they were to see certain figures or ideologies targeted or certain narratives squashed.

On Nostr I see much less of this, though! Maybe the folks that take the time to disagree with you are the ones that jump onto the thread to comment?

I've been experimenting with short (30-ish hour) dry fasts. I've water fasted in the past, and this is definitely different. No hunger, no weird electrolyte imbalance issues, but way lower energy! It's like everything's normal - I feel totally fine - but I'm running at something like 75% capacity.

The day after each dry fast, my energy and mood are insane. As in, randomly dancing around while talking with my husband because it's just too hard to stand still. I think this continues for a few days but the first day is most pronounced.

Autophagy on dry fasting is supposed to be amazing. I don't have anything in particular to heal but I like the idea of it as a consistent health protocol.

Anyone with fasting experience care to share?

very hard to remove roots! I like digging, but it's heavy work and I've only had to contend with small sumac roots.

Yes, makes sense about seed/fruit. Not sure how that metaphor continues - that it was an invasive that's taken over everything? At first, a relatively clean (I mean, bloody and horrible, but well-packaged) fruit and now moving us toward chaos?

Happy birthday!

Make friends with your future self; you're paving the way for her as you go.

That's the researcher who pretty much single handedly convinced Americans that animal fat was bad for them
