Amen, and may God give me patience and wisdom to help her well

I woke up with morning and thought, that's so odd. I look so tired.

Looked tired this afternoon, too.

Looked tired this evening.

Oh, dear, those are just wrinkles. 🤦‍♀️

THE TIRED IS NOW PERMANENT. It's so over. It's never been this over before.

My profile banner now consists of a gigantic picture of me looking totally normal, where you can zoom into my wrinkles and sunspots and whatever else I'm collecting all over my face, and I'm at peace with that.

I'm turning 45, later this year, so

Dunno. It doesn't prove anything. Trump's good at making jokes? Obama's hasn't had anyone to talk to who isn't sucking up to him?

how would you define love? What do you think it is?

What is love?

and what is the difference between romantic and non-romantic love?

and what is that?

When I was maybe 10 I was in the car with two adult women. A love song came on the radio. I asked questions about it and was told “you’ll understand when you are older… you’re too young to be in love.”

And so I waited, many years, to experience and understand the mythical love.

When I would have romantic connections with men I would ask myself, “is this love?” …”is THIS love??”

I experienced what others would call being “in love”, that wild attachment and infatuation, even addiction to another. But not one of those experiences were healthy. Looking back I can see those were insecurity fueled unhealthy attachments.

We tend to “fall in love” with people who we perceive as having what we want, or of being able to save us, or people who match our old wounds.

Often we “marry our unfinished business.” We “fall in love” with people who match our old wounds as we subconsciously try to fix the old wound with a new person who will play out that story line with us.

We are blind to what’s really going on, and we refuse to look at it by simply calling it “love”. And in our mass delusion, no one questions it.

It’s crazy. We were told the little guy needed anti anxiety meds because he didn’t want to sit cross legged on the carpet at school for hours…. nostr:note1whjfvyjfnn60p58r8sfqur8cn0wtne2vv4tklxe7ac8vls4lcc2qj2sr64

What is my prediction, there is no strategic Bitcoin reserve, Bitcoin reaches new highs due to the conducive liquidity conditions created by the Trump administration (Loans strategic industries), the peak is around 140K, that's it.

Taxes keep going up one way or another (Inflation) and karen and john are getting poorer and poorer.

Nothing changes.

I think it’s unequivocal to say the mainstream left and Democratic Party has utterly failed the past decade+, is dead, over, done (even if they have money and media to pretend they’re not)

Trump and the new right have seized on this opportunity. What will emerge on the left? Time will tell but surely something will in the next couple years…

Repeating this for clarity since people (as they do on social media) skim posts and respond only to their skimmed understanding rather than to the post itself.

1. Build a client with a feed that shows only the x most prolific posters (sans spam) over y amount of time.

2. This will lead to an easily curate-able protocol.

3. Curators can sift through all the prolific posters and re-post the top z per day.

4. Many will follow the best curators.

5. Everyone posting quality content consistently will have their posts discovered by curators and rewarded with followers/engagement/zaps.

6. People will be incentivized to join, stay and post on nostr even if they have small inital followings.

7. Nostr will grow.

Incentives drive outcomes. Incentivize proof of work, not proof of stake.

neoliberalism is a mental disorder

If you truly want to see something happen, you won’t make excuse after excuse for why it can’t be done. You’ll just solve for those obstacles and then do the thing.

We can always find excuses for things we don’t want to do.
