I wrote these words a lifetime ago while defending my thesis. I shudder when I read them again, and it makes me miss my friends.

GM, nostr. Quick question, and it may sound silly but there is a purpose. When I post something here, a poem for example, it is discoverable in a cursory internet search? Here’s why I ask. I have a website that I’ve used for years to deposit poems I’m writing, many of them in draft form. When I eventually finish that poem and submit it to magazines and journals, sometimes they are rejected because they are considered “previously published”. Uploading the poem to my blog counts as publication for some of these magazines. As I transition more of my writing to nostr, I began to wonder about this. If I published a poem on nostr, even as a draft, would it be discoverable by an agency when they check to see if the work is already on the web? I want to get my work out there and published, but I’m starting to feel like having a web address is a hindrance.

Hey, #nostr fam! I’ve been on a streaming support kick lately on @Fountain. What started with podcasts has expanded into the music. I now have a playlist of all my favorite artists and songs that I listen to all day. If you’re on my list, I’m streaming to you! Value for value…that’s what this about right?? That’s what strengthens our community, and I am 100% on board now. @Contra @𝕾𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖑𝖊𝖊𝖕𝖞 @NumberGoExp, you’re my latest list additions…Keep killin’ it! View quoted note →

Farewell, Son “I hurt a hurt I have not felt. I’ve hardly slept. I’ve hardly wept. I am the pain that I have dealt. I’ve bid farewell a thousand times, a thousand more I’ve embraced goodbyes…” This poem came from a sense of grief and abandon in a warzone. ⚡Zap 1000 sats to unlock this note on
