Pretty sure the majority of people moved from X to Bluesky without even knowing the differences between the two. And it seems safe to say that nostr will be fringe for a while.
There needs to be some other tech giant that comes into the mix who isn’t from the 99s and the 2000s.
A guy I know voted for President Trump because he’s afraid of nuclear war. The incoming Secretary of Defenses highest military ranking is Major. Skip the fact that he’s a news personality. Service wise:
For scale, he isn’t a -
A General
A Lieutenant General
A Major General
A Brigadier General (that’s like a senior staff general)
A Colonel
A Lieutenant Colonel
He’s literally the lowest ranked officer you can be.
Meh I don’t know. I feel like they won’t need truth social anymore because it’s duplicative of Twitter. Trump could just tell his people to go back to Twitter. Wild times! 💁🏽♀️
Just had an 8 minute phone conversation with someone I’m getting to know. Tell me why I wrote out all my questions in advance and don’t think I took a full breath the whole time.
How do people talk to people? 🧡🧡🧡
To do: I’d like a group kundalini yoga class led by someone local the STL community respects 💖
A two day summit would be nice! I could attend anytime before year end. Only jumping to NY for a day or two.
This is a good one! @roya ୨୧ a few community give back options so we could choose as a group which to zero in on. Thanks for taking the lead girl! I’ll be there with bells on!
I had a dream last night then I was in Florida, God knows why, and I was at a park. Then Elon gave announcements over a loud system telling people what he wanted them to do for the day. People understood it was routine and only a few were like ymbj.

I told someone today I never want anyone to talk to me about drag queens/positive role models for kids again because our incoming President literally gestured sexual innuendoes in front of a crowd and on nationally tv less than a month ago.
I freaking love my hometown. Getting a late night drive through chai at a local place and saw a friend picking up food from the same place at the walk up window.
He ran over to the passenger side of my car and said “we love you very much, how are you hanging? 🕊️”
🥹 community is everything.
Lots of notes re: Ross today. It’s an incoming Trump Administration, and hope springs eternal right.
That said, just a heads up that the latest historical precedent for President Pardons at the onset of an incoming Admin was like…Ford in the early 70s for another President, Nixon. It happens on their way out, to gain favor or street cred.
Slow Sunday morning in the Nostr streets. Or I’m missing a ton of notes as they load, hard to say. 🤗
In other news, my dad’s going international for a fishing trip for 5 days and I’m like 🥹. Of course I wanted the names and numbers of people he’s with, flight information, resort so I could look it up. He said “Angela, I raised you. Not the other way around.”
I meaaannnn I know, it’s just 💞
Realized that today is my small business anniversary. In 2018, I established a US based 501c3, disability inclusion charity, called Invest In Access. 🧡
The vision was to make strides toward the day when disabled children in America will grow up in a society that recognizes them wholly - through equitable infrastructure, equitable access to the workplace, and equitable access to the joys of everyday life that people often take for granted; concerts, education, recreation, you name it.
We’ve made a ton of progress and that’s been in large part to relationships rooted in lived experience, community, and cross movement collaboration. We also invest in our community childhood development center and mental health action. 🥰
If you’re on other platforms, you’ll find a list of our clients floating around. Proud and grateful. #CreateYourOwnDestiny

His name is jack.
jack has given his time to nostr (more important than funding) for nearly 2 years, and what people have to show for it is what’s here now. Unreal.
jack mentioned building a nostr client in the not too distant past on his page. That’s why. That and it’s in my interest that he builds one.
Anything else, dude?

Today I’m realizing that even though the election is the outcome that many people here on nostr wanted, it isn’t making any difference toward to the pace at which clients will be counted built here. There’s no “reinvigoration.”
Guess I’ll just hang my hat on the fact that @jack has been deep in Black global/US culture and hope he leads in this moment.
Counterbuild or become part of the fray is the moment we live. That is clear to people, right?
At the salon this afternoon, the person doing my hair was a recent grad, totally fine. Anyway, I had my head back in the rinsing bowl and all of a sudden:
Thud!
A large shampoo bottle wacked the side my head 🫠 She was like “FU*K! I am so sorry!!”
Of course I just thought to myself “welp, that’s very on brand with the day 🕊️” and made sure she wasn’t embarrassed.
But ouch. Oof. Life yall. 🧡

Gentle encouragement to read ⬇️
Just as it’s important that I and fellow Americans to acknowledge that the incoming President is Donald Trump, it’s equally important that people are able to see this moment for what it is in global history.
I rountinelty witnesss that people on nostr are quick to dismiss reality with theories. Rather than take something for what it is.
As you view the image below, I encourage you to be honest with yourselves.
Did you dismiss instantly?
Dismiss me instantly?
Explain it away?
Can you take it in and consider a view you may not hold?
How did you react. Reactive behavior v stillness is vital for balanced personhood and a balanced society.

You know why I’m good at stacking sats? I have @Wallet of Satoshi and a business @CashApp (no Bitcoin for biz yet there) so all that the sats can do in WoS is chill/grow 🤗
