“Create. Empower. Teach” — building out avancee.agency — here working on understanding ⚡️& 📡 & 🔐 — multimodal advocate, #PartyPace Cyclist

Each week I post a collection of notable things read, alongside so,e commentary. A newsletter of sorts, but also kinda “NFT-like” in approach

That long 🧺 thread actually speaks for a feature that one would have thought the NIP (protocols) would have supported out of the box… namely, removing oneself from a record of a thread - probably with a response to that thread with some kind of parameter attached to one’s username (and validated by that username posting it)

Am finding often that the love I’ve desired is also the love I’m made of. So aiming to just live in such a way that the cup keeps on for all that it can

Been thinking about mods for my #Brompton, but then also thinking about just getting another which is more for chill rides.

Then see this mod and all kinds of ideas ensue. Such a neat project this one was. (Yea I know, linking the the 🐦 isn’t cool; but these topics & accounts haven’t made it to nostr-type networks, yet)

One of the things not quite in the nostr chats I’m around are topics like #ToolsForThought… such a group of insightful stuff. Much of which already flows with how I work and think

Neat talk upcoming in this space featuring one of the folks behind some software I very much like (and use lots)

I’ve really got to get out and about more. And yet… looking at upcoming travel, I’ll probably resell myself to go back inside in a few weeks time 😅

Took some time to scribble some text on “complimentary vs additions”

Will be some days probably before posting, but was good to finally get the thoughts out. Certainly has been a piece of coaching and personal reflections over the past month

Some years back coined/stated “move fast and shape things” as a response to some of the management noise around design & development… got folks to think about what exactly they were “failing fast” at.

Still use it on occasion

Another part of this nostr/NIP protocol I’ve got to do some reading up on.

Reminds of a old project from a board I was one for a while.

@alanajoy, yours here gets me thinking, a lot

When the young ones are just free to be themselves in front of the (adults) people they admire and love… there’s something unfailingly beautiful and special about that space

…unknowingly, we give young ones the best runways to become their better selves when we are here w/them

If you knew the triggers which made you who you are today, before you became who you are today, would you have let those triggers happen?

Sometimes, getting to our best selves is as simple (and hard) as finding the single, unifying truth behind our reason for being.

Convo w/client made that again clear today.

So wonderful to help folks focus on discovering that reason, and encouraging them thru the scary part of living as it unfolds

Great caption for todays episode ⚒️⛓️⚙️

You are most welcome.

It’s a lovely and painful thing to break and reshape Noel’s belief systems. What we believe is very much a part of who we are. When we share that belief with others, it’s community. When we impart those beliefs into behaviors, it creates what we know as culture.

Our families are built on many stones of those beliefs. Some of those sit so very embedded into community and culture that it is nigh painful to question, let alone walk another path.

Where you are is… where you are. It’s not bad or good. It is where you are.

From what is both beautiful and terrifying about this for you, I’m sure others will find avenues for themselves to grow in their own faith, and influence their communities and cultures.

To quote a younger version of me, “keep growing forward.”

It is a word, and not necessarily a new word. But has found a little bit of new energy in the age of ultimate currencies and decentralized services.

The closer term that you probably found in the past was “federation“ which started to fall out of favor for the term “RSS” in the circles I followed/worked

It’s a heck of a rabbit hole; and way more to unpack than many folks can.

Simple advice, “Paul encouraged folks to let folks work out their faith.” What you believe, and how you live it is part (first) of a collective faith, then of your individual steps in that faith. If you will. You will pick up and pit down many things. It’s ok. It’s encouraged.

For the holidays you choose to celebrate, be open to others’ views but convinced of your own. Christmas, Easter, and several others have been co-opted by many secular and non-secular folks over the ages. Passover and Ramadan seem to have been better able to keep a separate (holy?) framing in the greater view, though there’s arguments within on what is and isn’t good enough.

Be gentile with yourself as you take these steps. And give grace to folks who aren’t seeing things as you do. From there, follow the Creator and strive toward holiness. That’s going to help whatever holidays you celebrate resonate in truth for others
