 X and VPNs banned in Brazil. 

This is why #nostr exists.

This is how #nostriches are made. 
 They don’t know until they’re forced to know. 

Necessity will show them the way. 
 🙌 
 💜🙌 
 Cheers to that! 🥂

 Never has been, never will be 
 South American Nostr users:

if we held the next Nostr Fest in Uruguay, Argentina or Brazil, what... 
 Buenos Aires, hands down. Lots of bitcoiners and nostriches around. 
 I know people who are gluten free, dairy free and vegan, and traveling to Italy soon. 

Can’t think of anything more depressing than that. 
 T-bone and fillet mignons 👌 
 Didn’t know that was a thing. Sounds terrible 🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 Yes, but that’s something you can make anywhere in the world. Visiting Italy and not eating any of the good stuff? Sad. 
 You can get around without dairy. 

But cheese!! 🥲 
 For real lol 
 Gluten free friendly?? I’d say it’s the complete opposite 😅 
 Literally 😅 
 Sparkling water is insufferable.

The amount of times I accidentally drank it in Europe has only ... 
 I’ve never heard someone hate on sparkling water this much 😂 
 😂 touché 
 Hey, it’s better than drinking soda every day! 

I only enjoy sparkling water on hot summer days. It’s refreshing. 
 Today, I discovered the term “anarcho-communism.”

So today, I also discovered the biggest oxymoron yet. 
 lol I like the way you put it 
 Facts 
 Just like “communism was never really tried” 
 Even the haters on twitter are finally joining nostr 😆

We knew we’d see on you here, eventually! 
 Sure seems like it! 
 At least they’re making a profile and giving it a try! 
 Good to see #nostr getting more action  following BHB and the Telegram news.

Welcome, new nostriches! 💜 
 Welcome to the censorship-resistant side! 😄 
 lol welcome! You are now a nostrich 😄 
 Had a fun day riding horses and wine tasting 🤌 

Was in bed before midnight. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my bachelorette 😌

 It’s like we were strolling inside a postcard! 
 😘😘 
 It really is! 
 A lot of people don’t know my story about how I got into bitcoin so here it is…

I was a smar... 
 Wow, such an interesting story! Someone should turn it into a movie 😄 
 Slightly FOMOing about #Nostriga but also enjoying spending time with family and prepping for the biggest day of my life yet: my wedding 🥹 
 Yessss! 🙌🥰 
 I’m guessing/hoping a lot of Brits have been joining Nostr lately 😅 
 And you’d be a smart Brit 
 Which is absolutely bananas to me. Can’t believe what’s happening over there 
 Every time I get frustrated with the world, I take a step back and thank my lucky stars for good health, good family, and #bitcoin 

That’s all that truly matters. 
 ☺️💜 
 🤙💜 
 Exactly! 
 Enjoying a weekend of sun, relaxation, and zero FOMO 😌 

Happy Friday, everyone! 💜

 ☺️🤙 
 What a way to end the weekend! 😅 
 Democracy is an illusion. 

We all live in an oligarchy. 
 Grazie 🙌 
 That’s how spicy the salame was! 
 Una delizia 🤌 
 That’s for later 😉 
 Assolutamente 😌 
 You’ve got good taste 😄 
 The saddest part of all of this is that no matter who wins, the money printer will keep going. 
 It’s the only way out 
 LMAO I can get that at the supermarket for 2,50€ 
 Found a link to a livestream of a journalist reporting from Saipan just to see if we get a quick look at Assange after he lands.

I’m so invested 😅

 Niceee! 🫡 
 Never thought one day I’d be tracking another man’s flight besides my man’s. 

Assange is almost home.

 Same. I can’t wait to see videos of him and Stella and his kids hugging 🥹🧡 
 1000%
The entire thing remains a travesty of justice and even how he was released was a total sca... 
 Because that’s where his home and family are 
 I'm happy that Assange is finally going back home.

But it's absolutely outrageous that after being held for 5yrs in jail without trial he still had to plead guilty to be freed, was forbidden from flying commercial & will now owe $500k to the AU govt.

All because he did his job. 
 They’re experts. 
 He had to fly private because it was the only way he could get out of the country back to Australia 
 He exposed some of their crimes and they made him pay for it. 
 Good morning freedom fighters! 😁

If I’m not super technical, what can I do to help to grow ... 
 Use it regularly, encourage others to join, attend meetups and/or Nostr unconferences, and zap your fellow nostriches 😄 💜 
 Today, I was peacefully walking down a main street when a girl came up to me and tried to hand me a copy of "the communist journal." 

Couldn't help but make a disgusted face and walk away. 

Yes, I'm in Europe. 
 😂😂😂 not even Satoshi himself could orange pill these souls. The brainwashing runs deep! 
 100% 
 LMAO same 
 Almost irreversible 
 I don’t care how “healthy” a smoker claims to be, they will never convince me that smoking is good for you. 
 Couldn’t agree more 
 I’m sorry about your mom. Must be hard for her but also for you to see her like that. Hope she finds healing soon enough! 
We’re all free to choose how to live our lives, but promoting a toxic habit like smoking will never be ok in my book.
