 Three Works:

"Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll - 1865
"The Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum - 1900
"The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making" by Catherynne M. Valente - 2011

I hope I'm around for the next version of this thematic narrative.
Do you have any books in mind that are adjacent to these?

 Like Mary Poppins, I slide down the banister, bravely balanced between whimsy and obligation.

 Think I might just be the normiest person on #nostr 

Y'all speak a different language 😂 I loo... 
 Nice try, but there is no normal on Nostr. 
I acknowledge and appreciate your strategy of social camouflage: I'm also a cultural chameleon but I don't think the usual rules apply here. Just be your weird self because everyone is weird, and nobody else can be you.  
 So. Your girlfriend or wife doesn't want to hear about bitcoin. Why do you think is that? 
 Different people have different priorities. If you're taking care of one segment of all the potential areas of focus in a partnership why would they want to delve into the details of something that you are obviously more informed on and already invested in. 

They can use their spare attention span to the areas that you don't care about. That is why you are a team. You don't have to pull them into things they don't care about, just because you do. 

If you die they will have no idea how to do the things you do. So maybe you can leave good notes and tutorials behind but otherwise don't waste your time?  

* Wild speculation, multiple assumptions, and person projections were involved in the previous paragraphs.  I know NOTHING and this is not a well thought out opinion. Do not value anything I said that doesn't resonate with you. 
 I've been busy and distracted by various other ways of spending my time this year, some productive, some less so, but I'm starting to try to get more active into the Nostr scene again, I'll have the entire week of labor day off work and I would love to spend a bit of it relearning old tricks and a whole bunch of new ones.

I'm not completely clueless, but I am rusty and forgetful.

I know that someone out there has multiple links and guides and other collected resources: Anyone who has recommendations, warnings, suggestions, choke points, favorite apps, users I should be following, historical timelines of Nostr events, other things Nostr adjacent I should be aware of, communities you like, local customs and on and on.  

This will serve as a good repository of information for me to also bring other people into the Nostr Network.

I will be zapping the helpful over the course of the next couple weeks so your efforts won't go unrecognized.

My research time saved is your sat gain. 
 Finally on @Oxchat. Now to just figure out how to use it 🤣🤣
Oh and thanks to nostr:nprofile... 
 Is this the Oxchat on the google play store published by "Oxchat Limited"? I've been on and off nostr for a while and I'm trying to catch back up to where things have developed. 
 Great show today Jack, thanks for taking the time to talk about your perspectives and observations.  I enjoyed it, hope you make it a fantastic day! 
 Don't Believe everything you think: Deeply Think about Everything you Believe.

 In today's episode of 

"Shit I Can't Belive it Took Me 50 Yeears to Think Of"

You know when you... 
 The best solutions are the simplest ones! 
 One of my regrets about living this far north is the reluctance of peppers to grow without some more elaborate construction or effort.  One day I might install a pepper greenhouse in the back, but my list of projects is longer than my lifespan so I have to be picky. 
 If that lightbulb lasted nearly a decade I don't think it deserves the cheap garbage label.  Sometimes when you harness lightning it remembers that it once was free and revolts, a normal occurrence, if it is happening all the time then it's cause for concern.
