 Whats cool about paste image is that you don’t need to give damus permission to access your pho... 
 Oh awesome… this is a Damus feature now?? I’ve been hoping for this. 
 Ah. 
Dog or cat? 
 Aww are the faces pockets, too?? 
 F*cking BASED! 🔥 

So back in the day... when I was 21 and doing H2H combat kinda stuff... (... 
 Cool details to think about. Thank you 🙏 
 So hey, does this mean youuu would be willing to push up mentor me for 15-45 min on Hivetalk?   🤔 
 Awesome!  I think between you and @The Beave I’ll have video assistance covered. 

Would you like a certain amount of sats? 
 Ok when I get a minute I’ll try to work out timing with you. But sounds like I should probably practice planks for a while first, which I have never done ever 😅

Whoever is good at pushups:

I think I don’t really do pushups correctly, mostly because I don’t think my back stays straight, but probably many other flaws. 

I want to join the #100pushups gang …eventually… and have started with a small number of knee pushups a day. This does not satisfy me; I want to do the real thing correctly as I scale up to 100 a day. 

Are any of you willing to take 15-45 minutes or so to provide tips and corrections over something like Hivetalk? Looking for someone who will not ridicule my abysmal knowledge of basic exercises, but instead gently help me overcome it. 

If so, let me know how many sats you would like for that, if any. 

Inspired by @heatherlarson doing a yoga class over Hivetalk. 
 I wrote about black birds on here and a few minutes later, my dad started showing me how he feeds... 
 My crow friends visited me again today after a long absence. Because of my raccoon struggles this year I stopped putting out food for them until yesterday. 

Coincidences !! 
 Thanks!  It’s so interesting looking.

I also plan to watch:

Sleepy Hollow
Suspiria
Crimson Peak
The Awakening

Got any other reccs?

#movies #horror #halloween #filmstr #asknostr 
 I do plan to watch the original Suspiria!  It appears to be on Prime. I thiiink it was Nostr Halloween movie last year which I sadly missed. 
Thanks for the recc!  I have seen Hereditary and didn’t love it but maybe I should give it another try. 
 Original
Tim Burton 
 Yup, of those, the only one I’ve seen is The Babadook!

I keep hearing about Longlegs… thanks for giving me a lot to look into 😁 
 Oh wait I’ve also seen The Visit 
 Was gonna say I don’t have your number 🤣 
 That narrows it down 😁 
 I LOVED Train to Busan

 Today I confirmed that someone was on my mutelist probably by mistake (a thorough review of their profile several weeks back showed they had not met my criteria for muting).  
I usually take some care with these things, so I can’t figure that out. 

My reason for bringing this up is something that has been troubling my mind for a while for going unsaid:

I want to make sure that EVERYONE knows that they are welcome in #nostrbiblestudy as long as they are respectful to the other participants and the spirit of the group, showing up to learn in good faith. 
It doesn’t matter if I’ve muted you, by accident or on purpose. It doesn’t matter if we’ve never spoken or if we have had heated arguments. What I hope to accomplish in that room is vastly bigger than my feed, my preferences, or the past. I leave all that outside. 

Please join, you are invited.

It’s always chili season somewhere 
 Masculinity is under attack lately. But I like masculinity actually.

I know, shocker.

The fact ... 
 The maturity to say “this is what I like, but there’s nothing wrong with other things” is sadly rare these days. Thank you for laying this out so perfectly ❤️‍🔥 
 Checking in from International Space Station.. looks good over here. How we feelin’ #nostr !

 Welcome to Nostr!  Glad you’re here; I already enjoy seeing y’all’s live cam:

 Whoops, I didn’t post the link when the room was live like I usually do!  We had another great discussion around Luke 5 touching on sin and holiness, unclean spirits, Biblical interpretation, living in the spirit vs. the letter of the law, and more. 

Join us next week for Luke 6! nostr:note16d02yzd9ykp3m8el6enprzsfer9wr69s7ddn209ww9jayefe8xgqtg7usl

If it keeps messing up, @Vic might be able to help troubleshoot. 
 #nostrbiblestudy is held on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm New York time, which is 1:30 am in Portugal. It usually goes for 1-1.5 hours. If you like staying up late, I hope you’ll join us 😁 
 That’s awesome!  Look forward to meeting you both! 
 really questioning the utility of emojis right now. can anyone present a steelman argument for wh... 
 Emojis, including reactions, allow “body language,” “facial expressions,” and a degree of creative self expression to come through. 
They shade the tone of a message much like the difference between a period and an exclamation point, but I think even more dramatically. 
 Screens are terrible and should be nowhere near a kid.

Our relationship with our 6yo improved 10... 
 Not a criticism, just a hopefully constructive idea:  what about inviting the kid to help with the chores?  I hear a lot about how helping grownups can be like play at young ages. It might slow things down at first as they learn, but the payoff could eventually be getting MORE stuff done and a kid who doesn’t hate chores. 
 And time connecting, of course 
 #nostrbiblestudy is on Cornychat in 24 hours!  Join us to read Luke 5 on our way to eventually study the whole Bible and get to know Jesus.

 😱 @Noshole I don’t think I ever remembered to tag you like I promised here 😭 

It’s Tuesday evenings at 8:30 Eastern if you didn’t know. I think you did attend once but just letting you know it is always then

You can follow # nostrbiblestudy for updates and stuff, and we also have a SimpleX chat
