 Since joining Nostr a month ago, I have been more inclined to create more than I consume.

Funny how habits can suddenly emerge when presented with new opportunities.

I look forward to sharing my specific knowledge with the #tribe. 

On another note, what brought you to Nostr, but even better, what made you stay 😤 
 Honestly, I had been trapped in a bubble, surrounded by people who believed everything I believed. It was a bit of a culture shock when I first moved to Nostr, but I'm glad that I extricated myself from what I realized was a stagnant, and unproductive echo chamber. I'm a lot more intellectually tolerant than I was, and that creates opportunities for growth. I'll never go back to the social media shit-show. There are all types of people here, and sometimes there are conflicts, but it's real. And real is a lot better than a comforting lie.  
 Remind me to get a hitter of an avatar 🤣🤣🤣

 Einstein was 169 so. Besides: haven’t been tested since childhood so who knows? Genuinely? People are weird about tests 🤣🤣🤣
My goal is to utilize big Jack brain 🧠 and my big loving heart ❤️ to save the world with all we have. It’s the best plan. 🥳🥳🥳

 Einstein wss never tested, but based on historical records, his IQ is estimated to be in the 160-162 range.  
 I thought my joke was kind of funny but OK

 She is a wild card for sure. I understand 1/3 of what she says. It's like when I was learning taoism from Alan Watts books on Eastern philosophy, just out of this world concepts.  
 Alan Watts always seemed so straightforward to me...does that mean i'm weird? 
 No I wouldn’t believe so. Depending on the age or time I’ve read something my mind flipped or clicked different. 
Like Dagny or the father from pride and prejudice 
Probably the prednisone or something  
 you changed your opinion on Mr Darcy and Mr Bennet because you were taking prednisone? 
 Not necessarily in my case 
More of child then adult 
 
 i feel that, i like rereading things i read as a younger self. it gives good perspective.

i guess this means i should reread Pride and Prejudice. 
 Wait. Are you prepared to undertake any odd feelings about the characters now? 

🤣🤣🤣 Threw me feeling 🤣🤣🤣  
 Kennedy, this is the most coherent I've seen you communicate. You alright tonight? I'm not seeing screenshots, emojis everywhere and colors exploding on my screen.  
 Chill Willow sometimes 🤣 
 Now, you semi lost me.

How much needs to be said? 

Writing powers devours all 
Writhing whimpering whites 
Only #poetry helps me understand 
Whatever happenstance, I’ll continue 😊 eyes in love 
Unification on Earth
Soul recognition of same
Tingling spines shot hot
Indigo eternal flames 
No raging waters can stop

Remember our Kind
Harboring fruitless pursuits 
Obstinate egos
Deliberately we chose
Understanding all’s
Silent contracts stayed

 There she is. Welcome back. I'm either getting smarter or now recognizes that you just like poetry. Either way that's what Nostr is for, meeting diverse minds.  
 I share almost all my own poetry and have for many years online. And in cards 🃏 etc 

Read this after your blazed … it’s from years ago 

We speak
About my trip 
To Paris to see
Lizard mans grave
They don’t tell 
An almost ecstatic 
Wild looking tourist 
How HUGE that cemetery is 
So there I was 
Lost in a cemetery 
Much older than I knew 
From the USA 
Spiritus Roughest Ego
Seer eyes 

-Blinded away from grave

So here’s the the Spiritual 
Seers of the unseen 
When did Jimi die? 
We were all so young 
And stoned 
Too much 
Electricity 
In our bodies 
Minds and reigns 
It wasn’t a battle 
It was just allllll
So much fun
I enjoy another 
Spirit spinner 
To 
- chase the tail again

Then again 
Maybe I’m happy 
She liked 
Val Kilmers lips 
Cause that almost got her 
To watch “the Doors” 
But who becomes 
That ego 
Cause she hasn’t yet 
Given in to the 
Reality 
Though her whispers 
Hear every 
Possible 
Questions and answers 
Asked above the floor 
(1/2)

I got her with Love Me Two times 
Before high school
She learned to play 
Clarinet and saxophone 
Quite good even 
If I just tell you myself 
Pointless or not 
She’s a sprite
Full of sassafras 
And country 
She blazed her own 
Way out 
But 
Addictions 

-lead back to words

Then the sun his 
Blazing on and 
There within 
Must wonder if you saw this
What Whit posted and when 
Did you see it before 
Or after 
Was tilted perceptions 
Mine or yours 
Ours 
23 and me 
She blows brighter 
Since 
When
The sun 
Blazes 
Moon rushes 
Fools 

-Beget us again

Jimi I guess you told me 
Inheritance taken 
But I want the 
Peyote 
Amiright 
Oh yeah 
Back to being a seer 
Of other cosmic connections 
Space reflections 
You can do it Whit 
You do have your place sealed 
Golden records are whatever 
Compared to what you are 
Come back & l…

I ask you think of me. 
And the lifetimes I’ve had 
On Earth as a predator 
Why do you think 
You’re a woman so soon again? 
Cause you had to learn 
More respect this time 
So you can communicate 
And be a leader of ken dolls 
Cause you’ve already been 
Of men
Which path will yo

What path will you chose now?
Yeah girl, listen…you did chose 
I know, I chose it all
But how much paint and fumes 
To fill the wonders away
It’s not fair to put 
All that into a child so young 
Cause visions are second 
Hand traumas of others 
Loves and loved history mistaken

So you get a Churchill 
Or a guarding child 
Someone with the skills to raise 
But yes, just cause you 
HAD TO 
Walk through hell
And did 
Doesn’t mean you had 
To make one
Others life 
War against herself 
And others 
No one understood 
Get 
Away
I’m done

That’s the damness of it 
She has seen the unseen 
Gaslit of her dreams 
Cause profit made in the past 
Appears to be my ego 
Playing on her heartstrings 
Again within 
Would her call to action 
Or others change 
If she chose to chiefly 
Take 
Monetarily dictation of

Ha. A paperback writer? 
A book for today? 
I don’t know. 
DNA traveling 
Astral blasts 
Iconoclastic 
Not withstanding 
Her voice brash 
It’s the blasting 
To get others 
To mine their own mind 
Then heart
Surgical connections 
Too many 
Believe 
Life ends 
-awaken

 If all makes sense now. You just communicate through poetry and unique. That's why I like Nostr, people I wouldn't likely meet though, here we are connected as one.  
 I’ve had so many names over the years 
Michele is my real one

 Uhmm - cool story.

Btw - are you full time in Nostr you have soooo many notes. 

What's your purpose on here. 

I just want to help people. Seems to be my nature.

Uncle Sam had my indentured servitude too
Retirement came 
Yay, maybe now some reprieve

Only to find the horrific online 
Spoke out against lies
Then
Quit engaging 
Felt no point in pretending my words mattered 

And the cruelest band played on 

Accepted outcome 😭

Acceptance of self

Ohh 😮 I’m so sorry. Here’s a tiny story that may help. I was a distance runner for 16 years. No idea how many miles I ran. A short run was 5 miles. 5 days a week minimum. Then accident. Broken coccyx & body. Theafter that were my most remembered. 😊

After being a long distance runner for 16 years a car wreck changed my life. I can tell you this: the mile that I *attempted* to run again after was my most victorious. I can’t ever run again.

 Yo, even though you spoke in a poem I hear hurt behind this. Something changed your life forever. But, I'm too cognizant to probe.. 
 The Way of Zen - Alan Watts https://image.nostr.build/8ad2a9aa932f3bd6dd54c359ce00218d9ec81940c93ac9ef5a2d1784f4eb4f05.jpg 
 what is virtue if it's just another in a long list of standards [defined by humans] that take them farther from their innate "virtue"?

🤷‍♀️ 
 Respect and reverence for others is always needed. This is why the world is. People are used to predatory behavior & many are working to make it more equitable. The great apocalyptic world 🌍 

Maybe you will like this 

My American why’s 

A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How the U.S. used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance 
That I could make those people prance 
And maybe they'd be kinder for a while

But the Persian Gulf made me shiver
With every news source I’d devour 
Bad news at our doorsteps
I couldn't take one more death
I can remember how I cried
When I read about Americans pride 
But something changed me deep inside
The day the people chose sides
=
So, why, why, this American cried!
Drove my Heart to The World, but The World was  blind
And them not so good boys were spittin’ in my eye
Singin', "This'll be the day that she dies
This'll be the day that she dies.”
=

Did you see the looks of judge?
Did you shoot for faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in love and soul 
Can humans save our morals, Bro
And can you teach me how to Breathe real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with Him
Cause I saw you preaching of the sins 
We both clicked off the news
Then I live those chasms and views

I was a lonely teenager humpin’ ruck
With a pink complexion & an Army Truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day my battle buddy tried 

I started singin', "Cry-Cry -Miss Liberty dies
Drove my Scary to The Friendly, but The Friendly was dry
Them good old boys were speaking
 Freedom Inside

I was Singin', "This'll be the last day that I cry
This'll be the last day that I cry"

( transition ) 

Now for many years we've been on our own
And WEALTH grew fat on a spinnin’ stone
But that's not how it used to be? 
When the FESTER sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from Times Obscene 
And a choice that came for you and me

Oh, and while the Queen was looking down
The jesters grew its corny crowd
The boardroom was concerned
No perfect was discerned 
And why Freedoms Bled, dumb like a Fox
Puppeteers practiced in the dark
And we watched movies in the park
The day human Kind died

And do you have love in humans above
If the logic tells you so?
Do you believe in lock 'n' load?
Can politics save your tormented soul?
And can you PLEASE 
teach me how to Breathe real slow?

____
Hellish Belchers on the world shelter
the banks flew off with a bailout schedule 
Rates sky high and climbing fast 
It branded scowls on the middle class
The day traders tried for a forward mast

With the “FESTER” in the boardrooms in the past 
Now, the half-wits BLAIR was sweet perfume
While the PLAYBOYS played a CHARGING tune
We all got up to parlance
Oh, but we never got the chance

‘Cause the PEACEMAKERS tried to take field
The launching HATE refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day HUMAN KIND died?

I started SCREAMING', 
"WHY WHY -Miss Liberty dies
Drove my Scary to The Friendly, but The Friendly was SLY
Them good old folks were speaking Freedom Inside
Singin', "This'll be the day that WE DIE 
This'll be the day WE ALL DIE!
======

Oh, and right now , we are all in one place
All Generations lost in cyberspace
With no time left to start again
So come on, Attack be nimble, Attack be quick
Attack Trolls rage on a constant uptick 

Cause hate is divisions best friend
Oh, and as I watched them on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
My heart broke open in hopes to engage 

No angel born in Hell
Could break MISS Informations swell
And as the Claims climbed high into the Sites
to light the superficial spite 
I saw Evil laughing with delight 
the day my free speech died 

He was singin', "Bye-bye, Miss American Spy"
Drove my words to The online, but The online was sly
Them good old boys were 
Spittin’ shadow bans & lies
And singin', "This'll be the day that she dies
This'll be the day that ONE die"

===

I am a girl who has worn Army Blues
And I freely gave all some happy views 
But wealth just smirked and pushed me away 
I went down to that sacred store 
Where I’d known MY truth years before 

But the pain there said the 
humans wouldn’t stay

and in the boards, the children dreamed 
Unkind bothers lied and the poets unseen 
But no human word was posted 
The brain cells all were broken 
* And the three things I admire most
* The You, Me and the We
They took the last brain for the roast 
The day Human Kind died 

* And they were singin’ Hi-High, Miss Love A.I. 
* Drove my brainy to the Query but the Query was a lie 

And Them good old rich were drinkin water in the sky
Singin', "This'll be the day that they die
This'll be the day that Earth dies” 

They were leaving’: “Bye, Bye Blue Marble Sky” 
Road my wealth to the rocket, where to space we will fly 
Them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey in Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day the poor die"

 Certain concepts make sense but his Eastern philosophy discussions were mind bending. I'm talking, I couldn't conceptualize what he was talking at all. It was very foreign and unintelligible to me. It was so challenging I didn't end up finishing the book. It was very humbling. I'll go see if I can find it and I'll take a picture of it.  
 Ya, the algos of YouTube were definitely putting on OT bring me all the content which reflect my views and interests. Not only does it perpetuate strongly held beliefs, it makes it challenging to have these beliefs opposed. I truly believe social media can pose a risk to developing psychosis if consumed enough. It can warp your sense of reality and make you beliefs even deeply rooted. 
 
 I came here to make sure Aaron Swartz is remembered. Now it appears many know him & he will never be forgotten. 

Next is to get him a federal holiday in the #USA for his work toward building freedom internet 🛜

 Ya I didn't hear of Aaron Swartz until a few weeks ago here on Nostr.
