 GOOD MORNING NOSTR, WAKING UP EARLY IS A SUPER POWER 🫡 
 No. Go back to sleep 
 Alright folks, big week ahead! What are you exited for? 
 For it to be Saturday again 
 Hey it’s me your cousin 
 I ♥️ tea 
 Same 
 Anyone tried Tim Berners Lee’s Solid? 
 Can someone give me the tldr of simplex? 
 Me every year after December 21 
 Honestly one of their worst songs (though the music video is funny) 
 I found the moon 🧐 
 There’ll be people on it soon

Stay tuned for Artemis 
 I’ve tried getting into it but not past the acquired taste part yet 
 I seriously want to get into drawing/painting and the supplies are some of the best parts 
 I don’t know that nostr is “better” but there’s a cool community vibe (and for censorship it’s nice to have a key based system) 
 Every single time you post something like this I get so confused 
 So there’s a few concerns I have, one is the algorithmic feeds - people miss posts - one is them taking over email (people had their email addresses on their profile replaced with a fb.com email), and then another one is the censorship (though apparently zuck is pretty anti censorship but it’s hard to tell, his product doesn’t act like it) and also their anti companies business practices 

With all that being said it apparently turns out that they actually weren’t responsible for the 2016 election/russia story 
 Anti competitive* business practices; autocorrect 
 I love this photo 
 How do you find safe enough ice? I’d be terrified of just falling off when it breaks 
 How does nostr deal with spam? Since the relay update I don’t see any 
 Does Switzerland ever just not get snow sometimes in winter months? 
 Moby called, he wants a new volunteer for his next video 
 K, as soon as I’m done stuffing my face with RuneScape lobsters 
 The feed still confuses me, I didn’t edit relays but I know the UI changed, I don’t really know what subset of posts I belong to, either posting or reading 
 I burned a lot of jet fuel this year and I'm proud of it. The year isn't even over yet. 

My annu... 
 Ok so, I’m a lot less climate alarmist than I used to be, my only question is about how much oil/fuel we have left 
 This post was SO confusing to my feed 
 Oh cool I didn’t even reply to the right post lol 
 Am I allowed to use nostr without actually knowing much about bitcoin 
 Disturbing lack of pillows 
 The United Nations
useless as an asshole on my elbow 
 I sometimes feel the same but I’ve been told it exists in order to basically stop world wars 
 The freedom of something that’s key based yet also faced with the terrifying reality of not being able to delete posts 
 If you don’t know how to love yourself, how are you to know how to love someone or know how to ... 
 It depends on the part of the cycle you’re on, you want to catch the self loathing at an early point and rationally consider why you’re upset 
 Haha, still better than a lot of mine, I take so many pictures of the moon and invariably it’s just a white blob 
 I still feel so lost with nostr lol 
 Technologically, not the human factors 
 They changed the relay system, correct? Before you could be connected to them but not subscribed, now you have to fully unsubscribe 
 Some of them say “paid” but I’m still connected? 
 I have this abhorrence for disposable tech.. disposable anything really. There are certain things... 
 Gotta ask - apple? 
 For me nostr is like a diary. Just how I use it I guess. I write my feelings, because I’m no go... 
 I hope to god that nostr isn’t a horcrux 
 I can’t believe I’ve only slow danced with someone once in 27 years. Bit rubbish really. 
 Romantic breakdancing should be a thing 
 Today, I had a conversation with a friend's acquaintance who expressed a desire to "do something ... 
 Time to get grandma involved in bitcoin… 
 Nostr seems to have a very strong bitcoin presence, I’m just here for the cool people outside of that 
 Give me cool people to follow 
 …when you checkmark relays to see a different feed and then can’t remember which ones you did 
 I’ll really like this once I figure out why some videos are blurred, I’ve searched online and can’t find a solution 
 (This is a not subtle invitation for someone to help; help) 
 The real satoshi nakamoto could reveal themselves tomorrow and no one would believe them 
 J’accuse 
 Pretty, what are the 4 lights? 
 “Universe” (I don’t know if I’m actually posting to it now or not) feels like when I first joined mastodon, except there you got the torrential waterfall of every instance post 
 I assume it’s fine to stick with the 4 built in relays 
 I assume most all of you know this already but for the noobs like me nostr-resources.com 
 How do I get videos not to blur? (Damus) 
 Images load fine, just not some videos
