365 days of continuous #sobriety today #nostr It’s been the best year of my life. I’m so grateful that I got #sober when I did! 🎈

I need to get this off my chest because I’m tripping out… tomorrow I will have been #sober for one year. I know, I know, it’s a day at a time but I’m freaking out in a good way. I sort of wish that I could go to bed right now and wake up tomorrow or something. I’m so happy and grateful that I made that decision a year ago. #sobriety has been lit!

Odd perspective. 🌻 I was in a rush this morning and in retrospect I should have made the sunflower look like hair or a hat. Next time. #flowers

I’m over here trying to live a normal and productive life and I come over to Damus only to see that everyone was lit af during the #zapathon that I missed…. Again. 😏 (insert Pablo gif)

Out in the woods today stomping around like a #pleb

When nature makes #art

#hi today from 🏰

0 people care but I bleached my hair before work and slicked it back but I didn’t have time to tone it. I like it a lot but it looks creepy and then I heard in my head, “You’re too blonde”…. from #fightclub

They talk about the “Twitter Killer”every time there is a new app when actually it’s the advertisers and governments that are Twitters greatest threat. I don’t see how #Twitter survives the DSA that takes effect on August 25th unless they leave the EU. Maybe I’m tripping but I wish they would just build on #nostr now. I’m not sure exactly what is possible or how quickly it could be done but hopefully it moves in that direction.

I found #catsr Carl and Princess chilling today. The life of a farm cat.

Damn I have to use hashtags here huh? I don’t know why but hashtags are ugly to me but I’m willing to give them a second chance. #pleb thoughts

Sometimes work pays for massages and today was my day to get one!! This woman is so incredible at her job that I’m pretty sure that she has the key to unlock world peace. I’m kind of kidding but kind of serious.

This article is pretty basic but I believe there is a really interesting conversation here. Has anyone read the book Cobalt Red? If not please definitely check it out. https://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2023/07/14/transformative-impact-of-bitcoin-on-dr-congos-financial-system/

What a beautiful time period to be alive!

Just got off the phone with Tanya Gould. She’s done some incredible work in the anti trafficking space for many years and she’s just an overall based queen. Every time I speak to her I learn so much. Sometimes I wish that I could stop my friends mid sentence and say, “pause, you are a brilliant woman and an inspiration” but I don’t want to interrupt their flow of genius. So I just listen and smile and hype them later online. 😂

I probably should have explained why I believe that nostr is crucial for survivors globally. Survivors deserve an anonymous and censorship free place to speak. It’s a safety issue. It’s a freedom issue. In many parts of the world it’s a matter of life and death to speak out. Governments and others seeking power and control can and have silenced some of the worlds most vulnerable. It’s not always the right option for each survivor to speak about their experiences online but they should have the ability to speak if and when they so choose. Survivors can share resources and build a community and they can have the opportunity to find the hope and healing that they deserve. The EU, UK and the US are all currently working on or passing legislation for corporate tech providers that will ultimately violate privacy rights, curb speech and try to erode end-to-end. A big goal behind that is to protect survivors but I don’t believe that is the correct approach. If the net is cast too wide bad actors slip through the cracks and innocent citizens around the globe become victims to mass surveillance at the hand of the governments. Decentralization is the best path forward to providing maximum freedom to many citizens globally. I don’t think that there won’t be problems. I’m aware of the challenges. Corporate tech can’t deal with those issues at scale currently AND they also include a loss of freedom. It’s a lose lose. The same logic that is applied to the importance for a free internet for activists, journalists, political dissidents, whistleblowers and many others globally is also applicable for survivors. Sorry that’s my morning rant. Sometimes it just feels good to get my thoughts off of my chest and go on with my day. ♥️
