About 2 weeks ago, I found a litter of kittens with a deceased mother. They were barely old enough to survive. I brought them home, taught them how to eat a soupy food/milk replacer mix, dealt with adjustment issues and whatnot. Everyone is thriving now & I think I can start trying to find homes. I'm happy and sad about that. I want my life back & I'm tired of smelly kittens, but, man, I'm proud of us. We made it. 🥲

Don't collect what you can't protect.

Use strong keys, keep out thieves.

Verify twice, avoid the price.

Don't delay, patch today.

Shield your ports, strengthen the forts.

Encrypt in flight, sleep well at night.

Back it up, don't interrupt.

Encrypt your files, avoid the trials.

Thinking I should learn basic lock-picking. Worthwhile or nay? #asknostr

Road trip! 🗺️ 😎

Sharing Past Art… this is an acrylic painting from a BYOB group painting sessions I attended in 2015. It was interesting to see how everyone interpreted the same image.

Thanks to decades of watching anime, I had to add the floating petals. 🎌🌸

This is one of my few “large” artworks at 16” x 30” because that was size of canvas the class used.

New pen day!

I went a little crazy on AliExpress but I really wanted to test out a number of cheaper pens so I could start shooting reviews.

I've also got a few on the way for my Creatr giveaways so stay tuned for that!

This lot includes:

- Green Asvine V126

- Blue and silver Jinhao X159

- Green and silver Jinhao X159

- Asvine P20

- Jinhao 9019

Well under $200 for all these and a few other odds and ends including the pen stands you see there as well as some more leather pen slips.

Dads, just put away the phones.

Tell mom to put her phone away too.

You are not present in the moment if you are recording it through a screen.

AS NOSTR ADOPTION ACCELERATES THOSE WITH LARGE AUDIENCES ON CENTRALIZED PLATFORMS WILL LASH OUT AT US.

THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO PROTECT THEIR PERCEIVED REACH AND INFLUENCE.

THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED. THEY WILL EITHER ADAPT OR BE LEFT BEHIND.
