Beautiful, the oil has excellent anti-inflammatory and fatty acid properties for the skin

Come and visit Aotearoa New Zealand, we are about to celebrate Matariki which is the star cluster Pleiades.

Funny story and a beacon to the nostr/bitcoin tribe 🙏 :

As some of you may know, I run an AI team at a large fiat health-tech company. The job has been sucking out my soul for the past few years, but I persisted because the paycheck was very comfortable and helped me keep the lights on at home. It's been brutal working 10-12 hour days under high stress, hardly being around for my teenage son's final years of childhood, and then trying to make time for my passion projects in bitcoin, nostr, and AI.

Last week, I had enough and finally did what I had been stopping myself from doing for over a year. I asked my SVP to lay me off. He laughed and said that's going to be really tough because I run a high visibilty team and the optics would be terrible if I was laid off. 😂

I pressed him some more and told him there was no way I could continue for much longer and he finally demurred and agreed to "see what he can do" 🤷‍♂️

I'm going to take him at his word and assume the sweet axe will fall by the end of June, plus about two months of severance. That's about as much runway I have to start making a dent with all the projects I want to dedicate my time to:

- NosFabrica: health data and interoperability on nostr

- Casa Nostra: an umbrella for all my creative projects

* "Finding Home," my Bourdain-inspired food/travel/culture show

with bitcoiners

* "July 18," the sequel to my novel 24 that's 20% written

* "Plebchain Radio," my nostr and bitcoin podcast I co-host with

* "Rendezvous with Claude and Friends," my performance art

podcast

* "The Acceleration," my AI focused podcast

* "Waiting For Satoshi," a one-act play I'm working on, loosely

inspired by Waiting for Godot

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because Nostr is where the smartest builders, thinkers, and gentleplebs hang out. This is my tribe and I am asking for ideas and guidance. Now that I have taken the leap, how do I make sure a net appears? I want to go full steam ahead on all the projects I listed above, but also want to ensure that I'm not rug-pulling my family.

Leap and the net shall appear. Wishing you the greatest good 👍🏼

Kia ora kare, good on you. Keep being curious

Mōrena, Good morning - Happy Worm Moon…

Just sharing the wonderful writing and reflections of Oliver Burkeman - Toxic Preconditions a term that encapsulates what holds us back in an effort to control or feel secure….

Mana in Māori and in Pasifika is to have a sacred authority, influence… transcendent power that blesses. Powerful word and name

Culture war issues…. is a distraction. This was from a year ago, but such a worthwhile discussion with Matt Kennard (investigative journalist and co-author of Silent Coup: How Corporations Overthrew Democracy with Claire Provost).

Creating outside the norms and box of the status quo, radical imagination is super imperative for all of us - to survive, grow, connect to the abundance… Lunar New Year, New Moon… time to reset, plant seeds - galvanise the group. Being generous and generative as well as rigorous in critical thinking… yes to this.

Some gentle beauty in the darkness; enjoying this soft voice of Mustafa and the debut album

ニュージーランドからこんにちは。このチケットを手に入れたいのですが、10月1日まで東京に到着しません。 海外からの購入はかなり膨らみます。 理由はあるかもしれません。

New Zealand’s Aotearoa’s National Radio, RNZ this morning, is going to be discussing Bitcoin, Blockchain and Satoshi Nakamoto. http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon

The city on the West Coast of Te-ika-a-Maui (North Island) of Aotearoa (New Zealand), Whanganui District Council has not only passed the motion for a ceasefire but will also change their procurement policy to align with UN resolution 2334.

Oh good, it took me a while to get through it, and must pick it up again - every nugget of wisdom was just so timely, like I was only just ready for receiving it. Enjoy the ride!
