I am loving being a parent.
My husband and I dropped my daughter off at a birthday party. We had two hours before picking her up so we played one-on-one basketball 🏀 while we waited.

Never heard of Cocomelon before reading your post.
The teachers & childcare workers I’ve spoken to since my daughter’s birth have all told me that young kids should not be exposed to tablets & phones, especially if they’re unsupervised. Could be Disney or some independent production, doesn’t matter - the results are more or less the same.
My family is lucky in that my husband and I take turns reading her bedtime stories. We chose not to expose her to animated content when she was a baby & toddler.
Now she can watch two or three supervised episodes of Comfy Couch a week. (It’s the only kids’ show she knows because she saw it at my parents’ house 😂 Wait until she finds out what she’s been missing out on 😂😂😂😂)
Jokes aside, I feel for single parents with a full time job and a home to look after. It’s tough to find the energy at the end of the day to read to your kids. https://image.nostr.build/7d714037642ce78a895133d74212b2405985565dee5c733474af4079e4d2b953.jpg
It was a pleasure to ask @maryimasuen 21 Questions about Fedi, bitcoin games, and what it’s like being a third culture kid 👧🏽 👧
(Decentralized identity 😂😉)

I don’t want to pry too much, but how did you know you could trust her with respect to private keys?
My husband and I were together before I discovered Bitcoin. I feel lucky in that sense.
Third week of school, done ✔️
"La rentrée scolaire" for this kids is surprisingly tiring.
New routines. New expectations.
What's more, I'm learning the Swiss (Geneva) system at the same time as my daughter.
Does anyone have experience they can share or advice on how to adapt a new schooling system as a parent?

More reflections from my judo & self-defense classes:
Maintaining flexibility and core strength seems to help in minimizing injury, especially when practicing with an experienced judoka who will put you in an arm lock or throw you without hesitation.
The thing about a judoka is that once they have a grip on you, it's over. You're seeing the mat.

This era is far more commercial than the 90s and previous eras. Refs don't call traveling, double dribbles, "carrying", etc. anymore. It's more show than anything.
And it is a lot softer. MJ had to survive playing against The Detroit Pistons.
I learned a lot about resilience recording this episode. It’s one thing to speak about resilience, and it’s another to live through tragedy and have to practice it.
That said, somehow I still managed to spark a debate about the basketball G.O.A.T.
I stand by MJ.

I just recorded another podcast episode of 21 Questions about prison & Bitcoin. The topic of locus of control came up a few times implicitly, and then I mentioned it explicitly, referencing one of Ray Dalio’s books.
Question: Do you believe that you are responsible for the outcomes in your life? Is it the environment, or some mix of internal and external factors?

You’ve just elevated the discussion to self-actualization!
I like your take on determinism vs. free will… Indeed it is noble and fulfilling to surrender to something higher than oneself. In contrast, being knocked about in life without agency is, IMO, one of the worst things ever.
I personally feel a sense of security when I have a clear goal in mind, and I work towards it consistently. It’s a form of surrender yet it also guides my choices so that I’m not “gallivanting” (nod to my pops for the expression) aimlessly.

When it comes to economics, experience can trump theory or lofty ideas.
If you think price controls are a good idea, watch this clip!

I just got access to the Proton wallet.
So far, it’s pretty easy and seamless to use.
In terms of privacy, it is of course linked to an email address.
Per Proton’s guide, a new #Bitcoin address from my pool is sent to each sender to avoid address reuse.
Anyone else have experience using the Proton wallet?

Proton doesn’t have lightning capabilities.
When I tested it out, Onchain fees were really low and the transactions confirmed very quickly.
I’m not based in the US. Haven’t tried Strike.
In terms of Zaps, I still use WoS. I downloaded it when it first came out. No issues. BUT it’s custodial. So tiny transactions only.
Phoenix has a decent Bolt12 solution but there have been times when transactions did not go through.
We did wrist grap escapes in my Judo / Self-defense class last night.
Another student taught me a thumb lock.
Savage.
A reminder that I don't always have to "go big", for lack of a better term. Finger locks are painful AF.

I had NO IDEA where nostr:nprofile1qqsy8g3tu2p6wlfy50azrrsx8euzmgv46xkmpmw49zug4jd6r04umlspr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9uzgvk9g was going with this story.
The question was about the Turkish economy on a #Bitcoin standard.
The answer was at once hilarious and deep.

Thanks @Stackmore
@paulinthejungle I would love to ask you 21 questions on Costa Rica, life in the jungle and living on Bitcoin.
Shall I DM you here on Nostr?
I had so much fun asking Tima from @Jump Out Girls 21 Questions 😂
I wish we had also recorded our talks before and after the podcast.
We’re both moms to little girls, we think of our daughters’ futures and how #Bitcoin can play a role.
Tima answers questions including Trump speaking at Bitcoin 2024, how she and her co-host Maine discovered Bitcoin at the same time yet in separate locations, and what it means to “Jump Out”.
Is Bitcoin for everyone? It can be. Is Bitcoin for anyone? Of course.
I hope this interview encourages folks to pursue learning about Bitcoin, irrespective of (insert list of characteristics that can be used to create divisions amongst us).
Shout out to the episode sponsor @omg21btc
Hope you enjoy the episode 🧡

It’s actually not so bad.
You just let the water flow and wash with soap. There’s no “poop soup” 😂
No matter how well you wipe with TP, you’ll never be as clean as you would be using soap and water.
The Japanese bum gun and dryer sound appealing… You have the benefit of having a clean bottom without getting your hands dirty.
