I think even some of my good friends might be surprised at the content of poems, because this is the reputation I have...

I had been thinking about deleting my X account. But just this evening I saw a post that waved an opportunity under my nose that is not on Nostr as far as I can see. And then here appears this comment. I don't disagree with the sentiment. But I'm not leaving X yet. nostr:nevent1qqspdlydmxxnxf6sxvz08k4mhgjqtytdn0relrfvey2gqd3yxt09fsqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsdwnxxhhvh9y3nwz3ru2u0p8h0smkstnc8t4zsxw5h8hjkntdmdwqrqsqqqqqprh3l8x

I like throwing myself into things in support of the people I believe in, and the sweet spot is when that's aligned with the values and ideals I believe in too. I thrive by being part of something bigger than me. AND by creating opportunities for other people where I can, if I can. The lack of time / opportunity / community in our society (and the sheer weight of fiat pressure so many are under) probably partly explains why we are in the midst of a meaning crisis (especially in the West - check out the work of Jon Vervaeke). Who has time, makes time to think about what *really* matters to them? Who makes the time to navigate their histories to stop them impeding their present (and maybe their future)? Who hides from their shadow? I try not to, but occasionally I look up and realise I'm living deep within my shadow instead of deep within my joy. Sometimes I give too much and do so to my detriment. Some people think they can take advantage of that. They soon learn they can't. (A very particular conversation in July with a Bitcoiner comes to mind... ooof hadn't thought about that twat in quite a while - it's actually a good memory because of the dressing down I gave her 😂) Other times I don't do or give enough and people develop an idea of me as being a hard-nosed person. This isn't me, it's my self-defence system. The reality is I have an almost endless well of support and love to give, but I get jaded when there is little to no reciprocation. That's a pretty normal reaction, right? Maybe what we all need more of is discernment... What do I want to build? Who do I want to build with and give that energy to? How much do I have to give? Who gets access to that well? For how long? How much do they reciprocate? What capability do they have to reciprocate? Do I need them to reciprocate, and why? What does that look like? Only some of these Qs have easy answers The rest disturb my sleep I wish they were all easy to answer Thank you for your post nostr:nprofile1qqsr9cvzwc652r4m83d86ykplrnm9dg5gwdvzzn8ameanlvut35wy3gpz3mhxw309aex2mrp0yhx5c34x5hxxmmd9uqsuamnwvaz7tmwdaejumr0dshszythwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmny9u0ljp2l nostr:nevent1qqsp78f3eslfzpsax2hcu4hmdr2ddmpe0g6pkxc0txhh36yjrk3wnhgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejz7q3qr0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgsxpqqqqqqznuzcjh nostr:nevent1qqspwsngvsq5kta7r4tt6apvz2t399qdzpmpms30h0sw8edxjhx4xxgpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtczyqewrqnkx4zsaweutf739s0cu7et29zrntqs5elw70vlm8zudr3y2qcyqqqqqqg6s3ja9

Excellent read on how Nostr developers are bringing us back to an age of mastery and pride in our work after decades of a short-termist and disposable mindset. nostr:naddr1qqgr2wry8p3nje3evsunsvtrvs6nyqghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7q3q4hq5lgadtyy9dhvtszq46dnl0s0xwdddqr7e32rdqqhma8a4xhssxpqqqp65w3ny8dp

My friend wrote this on X. We're losing the meaning of language and that why we're getting all sorts of fucked up: "It's not "bodily autonomy" if you're expecting other people to do something to your body. It's not "bodily autonomy if the change you seek requires some kind of medical treatment or intervention, which is regulated in the way medicines are. It's definitely not “bodily autonomy" if you're expecting other people to pay for it. When did this concept of "bodily autonomy" become such a misnomer?"
