I am not sure if anyone asked before, but why the hell ostrich? It is one of the dumbest birds in existence, with eyeballs bigger than its own brain. Why not octopus, smart and resilient with distributed (decentralized) brain? 🐶🐾🤔🤔🤔

Reset.

20 years ago today my sister Charis became a star in heaven.

This event has defined my adult life. You could say that everything I have done since is processing this experience.

At first it was extreme loss, sadness, and then anger. And, as time has gone by, I accepted that her transition is what allowed for all the amazing and wonderful things in my life, like my daughter and her crazy 4th birthday party this weekend, haha!

I could not have predicted where I would be, what I have done nor how I would feel. But I learned I must be present for all of it :)

I still have my moments of sadness. But, today I saw the sun rise and was able to look through a photo history of my sister in an instant on my phone, talk to my parents from 8000 miles away and then this amazing little person came running in to welcome the day.

The space is cleared. I'm ready for the next steps and am here for it all.

Hope something in my story helps you move forward.

FUCK EASY

I'm fed up with easy.

You don't want easy.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and one of said intentions is making things too easy.

Easy is staying on the couch.

Easy is not putting on your running shoes.

Easy is watching the porn, eating the junk food, binging the fucking stupid series.

Easy is not sticking out.

Easy is shutting up when you should be speaking out.

Easy is compliance.

Easy is saying the same thing, thinking the same thing, and liking the same thing as everyone else.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.

Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.

Easy is starting up the money printer.

Easy is "papering over" failures.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."

Easy is not educating yourself.

Easy is not taking responsibility.

Easy is trusting a third party.

Easy is not holding your own keys.

Easy is comfortable.

Easy is not having to think.

Easy is not having to understand.

Easy is the coddling of the mind.

Doing things right is hard. Understanding things right is hard too. As is changing the status quo. But there's no improvement without change, no change without pain.

Fuck easy.

Moving toward simplicity is removing the superfluous and through the act of reduction gaining value on the other side.

Can you think of something in your life you have removed and thus gained value from that removal?

So true 😅 When your young and they tell you this we are fuck off😜 We are like ‘don’t trust but verify’ and now you can finally say. Yes they were right🤣 ‘verified’

There’s a phone booth free library near the new house.

It seems there has been a problem with someone taking all the books. The solution is a strongly worded note and threat that they’ll be filmed and observed being antisocial. It’s such a kiwi security measure.

GM Nostr! I’ve called out other influencers with large followings for shilling dangerous companies like BlockFi in the past, so I feel i need to be consistent.

If you have a large following in the Bitcoin space or on Nostr, and you have a financial interest in, let’s say, a client that uses a cached relay service and a kyc custodial lightning wallet, you should disclose your financial relationship. Otherwise GFY

Holy moly these are awesome
