 My problem is with more water it’s too sticky to work with. How do you work around that? 
 I think my problem is the recipe I use does not go directly from bowl to loaf pan, but has flour and other stuff added first. 
This one’s served me fairly well for years, but maybe I should be hunting for a new recipe 🤔 
 That’s the opposite of what I would have thought! You always hear “well-floured hands” 
 My kiddo drew a mustache on me. Very reminiscent of Salvator Dali's mask from House of cards.
I n... 
 I think you are talking about the show called Casa de Papel originally, or in English Money Heist. 
Yeah that was a good show, especially the first season! 
 Copying is not theft.

Copying it makes one thing more;

 Gonna copy this note 👍

 Good news:  due to something I or my husband did, I’m finally able to connect to our private relay to back up my notes!

Bad news:  due to something I did, I lost my ability to zap (and possibly be zapped) and also lost my Damus bookmarks. 

Just temporary… but I’m tired so might have to fix tomorrow. 
 Thanks!  I don’t seem able to reciprocate yet. Will work on it soon. 
 Criticize yourself without abusing yourself 💯 
Believe it or not, me saying this has triggered some people who think they have to literally insult themselves to be “strong.”
Don’t be those people. nostr:note1llzhkkg67lmqnelx6at0u9le8ndxjqfws5rusw4723yd96glvngq8502pn 
 I don’t think the people I triggered are seeing therapists 👀 
 He wasn’t my pick at convention and I’ve heard a few underwhelming things since. 
The point of a Libertarian presidential candidate is not to win, but to use election season to get ideas clearly into ears, ideally setting people on fire for liberty who maybe didn’t get it before. I don’t think he’s living up to that.

I have a new addition to my list of favorite frangrances:  Amyris resin
Know of this one?
Got a beeswax candle with it and those are some very harmonious smells!
I actually think I recognize it as a component of a perfume I like.

 I thought I was good at smelling things but you, sir, take the cake 🏆 
 I'm really not as mean as I'd like to be and I wish people appreciated that more. 
 Same. 
My aspirational self is very, very confrontational. 
 Yes, and yours looks great!

I bake sourdough for the communion bread at my church and also for myself and friends to eat. 
 I used to always name my starters, but my current one doesn’t have a name 🤔 
 #nostrbiblestudy begins in just a little under 8.5 hours!  Hope you will join us in Cornychat to read Luke 6.

 True!  I’m aware of this and have even spoken with him. I posted this because it reflects my own position and that of many others I know. 
 Anarchism is literally part of the word Ancap, not sure why the confusion there. 
We use the word because it accurately describes what we believe; whether others mean differently is not my concern. 
 You’re right about the history. Michael Malice’s book The Anarchist’s Handbook is an eye opener, both about the attitudes of the first to describe themselves as anarchists and of how some of them had attitudes surprisingly in line with ones we share. 
Like many other loaded words, left and right anarchists want the same word and general concept that is actually radically different when you look at means and specifics. 
What originals thought of as “ruling” is all authority, even voluntary or that over private property. What we think it means is the initiation of force, etc. I obviously think our view makes more sense. 

As for the term being “tainted,” almost everything else I am or believe in is also “tainted” or “devalued” or “loaded.”  If I stopped to care about the opinions of people who make those kinds of snap judgments instead of actually getting to know me and listen to what I have to say, I wouldn’t have time to exist. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
 I've noticed an increase in petty thoughts skittering across my mind. Does anyone know any tricks... 
 I struggle with this often, too. 
They usually go away when I’m fully absorbed in something else / flow state. 
Having a really good conversation or creative accomplishment as part of the flow state can give a protective effect. 
I also pray for the renewing of my heart and mind, and to see people and things the way God does, more at these times. 
 This list is pretty good for this situation, too

 Neighbor cutting down his last tree. It was perfectly healthy, and a good looking tree. He is now... 
 Damn that sucks 
 I’ve been having some wild dreams lately. I’m off to a new one. 

GN nostr. 
 It seems a lot of folks have been posting vivid dreams lately. 
 Passionfruit or passionflower consumed too close to bedtime does this to me.  They cause vivid dreams in other people, too, but for me the vivid dreams from them are always uncomfortable or creepy.

Passionfruit is a favorite of mine but I have to watch when / how much I eat 😅 
 💯 actually writing them down helps you recall more dreams for longer and is a step toward being able to lucid dream, if you want to do that. 
I got really close to being able to do that consistently before I lost momentum. 
 Only 10 days until Halloween!

 Pro tip:  don’t listen to creepy horror podcasts while you’re in the studio alone at night 🫣 
 Will do!  I have many horror reccs I may post as a standalone later, but tonight’s creep out session was this particular episode:

 I see it differently. A lot of people here are Nostr only, or at least not on Twitter. They’re sharing those memes with us we’d otherwise not see. 
Thank you, meme daigou 🫡 
 Wow that is a dense amount of stuff I don’t understand at all 😅 
It’s awesome there are folks who do 
 Gorgeous ❤️‍🔥 really love this one 
 My wife was just sideswiped on the highway, hit and run.  She's physically fine Thank God, but he... 
 Glad she’s ok!! 
 I read a book called How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying.

There is a woman from Earth nam... 
 lol I think I’m gonna have to read that 
 So vital to have this discussion, wherever one stands on the spectrum. For this, I absolutely lov... 
 You can still have actual roads in anarchy!  You just can’t steal land, money, etc. to make them. 
 Humans have always made trails to get from one place to another more efficiently. Even non-human animals do this.

Not to say that there weren’t a lot of “let’s create more jobs!” needless roads made throughout human history. But like so many things the state co-opts and corrupts, I think there is a genuine and innocent human desire for it that we can see fulfilled without coercion. 
 lol that’s right!  Crochet, too!  I wasn’t even thinking of that 😂 

If I put a frog on a yarn bowl, would people think it’s bad luck?  🤔 
 Thank you! 
 Thanks 😊 
 Thanks! 
 Thanks 😁 
 Thanks 😁 I’ve been meaning to do more combinations of throwing and sculpture like this, now that I’m getting barely ok at throwing 😅 
 Me too 😁 I need to do it more, on undamaged stuff as well… 
 Oh I love this!! 
 Yeah, that’s the worst!  The one in the back here I carved with mountains to cover up / utilize a dent in it that came from spinning off the wheel head. https://image.nostr.build/92ade22cae8d79e28b2435a25538ecd5b26d676f5f32cb59709161e75c77014f.jpg  
 On the shelf to bisque:

Everyone else’s orange autumnal fruit obsession is the pumpkin. Mine, however, is the persimmon (specifically the American persimmon). 

I threw this mug from speckled clay and gave it a persimmon calyx on the handle. I still can’t make lids yet, or it would’ve gone on the lid. 
I have glazes in mind that I think will make this look like the perfect little freckled persimmon, glowing with orange light 🥰

 Question for parents out there. How much do you agree with this statement. 

"You should let kids... 
 In the following sense, completely disagree:  “sheltered from knowledge of socially uncomfortable realities, or from the expectation to behave responsibly”

In the following sense, completely agree:  “encouraged to play and pursue their interests; not shamed for being playful or silly or for where they find joy in life” 
 Out of the hospital!! Xray and EKG looked a-ok!  Might get additional tests  but the pain is gone... 
 So glad to hear this!  I hope you’re able to get some answers and that it doesn’t happen again. 
 My grandma passed away today. She was a small and strong old lady. When I was a child, my grandma... 
 My condolences 🫂 it’s wonderful you have so many good memories with her. 
 I’ve never tried, but that’s amazing!!

It makes sense; intuitively, I think the pressure of the water could regulate the force of the nail better than the air.
