Come to @Nostrshire and @Bitfest in November. It's not too late to get your tickets! Use my code nostrdev21 :) I'll be there representing @Freedom Tech Co. on the 21st and talking about why we need to build for freedom on Nostr. Running BitFlix on the Saturday and Sunday with Oswaldo and @Tomek ⚡ K And finding all you lovely people to speak to about Nostr... Why? Because me, @MadMunky2140 and @2140.wtf #blockworkgallery know that free speech and freedom tech is as important as freedom money

Stop thriving! How DARE you! 😂😂 View quoted note →

Late night reading when I should be sleeping

The courage it takes to create is the same courage it takes to live with an open heart Rollo May on creativity and courage: 'A choice confronts us. Shall we, as we feel our foundations shaking, withdraw in anxiety and panic? Frightened by the loss of our familiar mooring places, shall we become paralyzed and cover our inaction with apathy? If we do those things, we will have surrendered our chance to participate in the forming of the future. We will have forfeited the distinctive characteristic of human beings - namely, to influence our evolution through our own awareness... 'Or shall we seize the courage necessary to preserve our sensitivity, awareness, and responsibility in the face of radical change?... 'We are called upon to do something new, to confront a no man’s land, to push into a forest where there are no well-worn paths and from which no one has returned to guide us... To live into the future means to leap into the unknown, and this requires a degree of courage... 'This courage will not be the opposite of despair. We shall often be faced with despair, as indeed every sensitive person has been... courage is not the absence of despair; it is, rather, the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair.'

Seen on LinkedIn: 'The Tax Foundation now ranks the UK 32nd out of 38 OECD Countries for tax competitiveness - a pitiful position for what was once marketed as "Global Britain." 'We're behind Hungary, Germany, even New Zealand. That's right Kiwis now have a more pro-growth tax regime than the supposed financial capital of Europe. 'Reeves' tax raids on capital gains, property, and employer NIC's have done their job: throttled growth, scared off investors, and cemented Britain's place in the bottom 20% of developed economies.' - Gary Dixon

French Justice Minister says the theft from Le Louvre tarnishes the country's image. I'd say the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony did a far superior job of that. Idiots 🙄 Agree? Disagree? #AskNostr French people I know told me they found the ceremony very effective in demoralising the population. There's a lot of that going around here in the UK too 🥺

@profk was in the house. We spoke about Nostr (of course), 🍿how it lets us build portable communities, 🍿that there's too much bitcoin content (change your follows 😉), 🍿the music biz, 🍿how I never want to see whatever a Bitcoin dance would look like 😂, and 🍿how he's responsible for my poetry collection coming out soon (!) and how scary it is to be so vulnerable Join our #purpledaystream on 31st October with @BITCOIN CULTURE FESTIVAL, LONDON 2025 29OCT-05NOV @2140.wtf #blockworkgallery @CYPHERMUNK HOUSE | LONDON

Everything about this video is beautifully perfect. Literally everything: the baby, the father, the paintings, the piano, the music - Clare de Lune, Debussy. This is the piece I started learning in the dark early mornings of February this year, until a house refurb blocked access to my piano last month. I can't wait to get back to it, but that won't be till next year. I never feel more at peace than when I'm practising piano and writing poetry. Thank god a refurb can't stop me writing 🙏🥹😊 View quoted note →

GM Nostr, a poem poured out of me this morning after seeing the image below. Does it make you remember a time you might have felt this way? I don't know what the title of this poem could be. Struggling with it. #asknostr Sometimes masks are too difficult to take off, hearts are too hard to open Sometimes dreams formed in the late late hours die, killed by sharp words Sometimes wounds heal and dreams revive with time and pure, unrushed gentleness Sometimes she thinks she could wait forever for the love that sang to her, but she cries, knowing there were no promises made, just the ones she makes to herself View quoted note →
