Good food, local farmers markets, sourcing things locally, enjoying the sunset, bare feet on the grass, exercise, movement, having good social interactions in a healthy social atmosphere, loving life, learning daily, learning new languages, Practicing skills. Not using Facebook, not using Instagram, not using Twitter. Choosing your local farmer's market over the conventional grocery store. Using technology as a tool to interact with the digital world as opposed to allowing technology to use us for technology's own benefit. Walking the middle path, aligned heart and mind. Learning what a seedsigner is and how to use it. Swimming in the ocean, jumping in the lake. ☝️Good things for a good life.

Agriculture, food and community. Thoughts on a Tuesday afternoon. I used a file compressor for this. I set a max video resolution of 480p. Uploaded to nostr.build Looks shitty. Audio is good. #grownostr #localfood #agriculture #community

What's the best way to upload videos directly to nostr? I'm looking to upload right from my phone. How would I upload a 2GB video file? #asknostr #grownostr #help

In all of my years of being on legacy social media, it's been an absolute hassle to set up payment rails to receive payments from fans, supporters and ad revenue. There was always KYC involved. There was always card numbers involved. Identity verification and wait times. And there was ALWAYS someone looking to take a cut of my earnings. From the early days of Youtube Adsense, to ad sponsors, to patreon fees and most recently my setup with the buymeacoffee platform, which yet again, takes a cut! For such a simple service! Throughout all those years someone, somewhere had their hand in my wallet. Nasty stuff. But, that's how it was. Now we are here, on nostr. Instant payments, no kyc, no middleman, no ads, no sponsors. Just raw and real content. Raw and real information. Just like Youtube back in the day, just like twitter back in the day. Only now, with nostr, it's systemically more sound, more bulletproof, from the ground up. It's sanity. It respects the users privacy and integrity. There's no algorithm to tailor to, no ads to skip, no middleman to watch out for. This is the way it ought to be. The feeling that arises from seeing my lightning wallet increase in value from people supporting my posts in incredible because I know the technology that makes it possible... because I know there is NO ONE in between the transaction who shouldn't be there... because NO ONE needs to know we did business... because it's INSTANT and no one needs to be involved who business it is not. Grateful. #grownostr #bettersocialmedia #bettercommunity #soundmoney #bitcoin #lightning #primal #nostr #gm

I'm going to start uploading articles from my substack to nostr. Here's the first one, from 2023 when I was an intern at Prairie Rose Farm and Folk School. I talk about finding balance and the distinction between the natural world and the technological world. Maybe some of you farmers out there can relate? #farmstr #farmers #localfood #agriculture #journal View article →

Culture Shifts and Social Media

A lotta things are fake in America. There's an undercurrent of truth on the rise. Not everything is made to last. Change is the only way we survive.

Hello Nostr. It's Mason. Chiming in from Minnesota. Not many merchants accepting bitcoin around these parts, yet. I'm wishing that will change soon. I had a conversation with my father recently about bitcoin and he was eager to learn more about it. I've started a weekly men's group, bitcoin meetup with a couple of my friends this summer. Small wins add up. This is a long-term shift for humanity. Find your niche and dig in.
