#asknostr - anyone know who made the Zap Me a Coffee website:

zapMeaCoffee - Lightning Tips for Creators

Accept Lightning tips from your supporters. No middlemen, no fees. Just pure peer-to-peer value exchange powered by Nostr.

? This is a Lightning based version of the kofi site. Very, very cool! Would be a good example to show folks that zapping sats is as easy/easier than fiat payments. Could also help a lot of #artstr - I know many have kofi pages, as I did a few years ago. Thanks to @🟠 isolabellart for sharing. #zaps #v4v #grownostr

Introvert pansy likes her alone time…. far away from the main flowerbed…. under a bench. #flowerstr #blooming #spring #introvert

GM! Had breakfast with my mom at a local restaurant that serves tea in gorgeous tea cups from England. #gm #teastr #thefinerthings

A Sketch of a Tree in about an hour. Same teacher, different webinar, than last time. This webinar is earlier than the first one I watched, and I prefer the later one; he had the process more refined and didn’t bother with a reference photo. With a reference photo, I felt my tree didn’t turn out as well as the first one I drew without the reference photo, because even though the “from my imagination tree” didn’t really turnout as I imagined it, I liked it because there wasn’t anything concrete to compare it to - my “imagination tree” updated to match the sketch, while my reference tree just sat there not looking as much like the reference photo as it “should have” …. Which , unless the point of the exercise is to precisely copy the photo, doesn’t matter. Definitely something to play with as I keep wandering along my sketching journey. 🖊️ #art #artstr #treestr #sketching #inkpen #onlineclass #rustypuppyart

Less than 2 weeks left if you want to participate in the @NostrArtstr April art challenge celebrating cycles. If you want to participate in the June art challenge, here’s a hint for the upcoming theme. 💐 I’ll have a daily prompt list and a color palette ready for you on June 1st. Whether you make art 1 day or everyday, if participating in these monthly art challenges helps you make more art than you would have otherwise, you win. 🏆 And so do the folks who get to see what you create. 🫂💜 #artstr #artchallenge #flowerstr #bloomscrolling #blooming #photostr #photography View quoted note →

From James Clear’s email newsletter. I’ve done this for many years. When I started, I thought it would be easy: whatever I don’t like, think of the opposite because I must like that. Not always true, and coming up with the words (or images) for what truly mattered to me sometimes took effort…. along with some quiet time to sit and think and feel without interruption to process whatever came up. Maybe that’s why it’s so easy for some folks to talk so loudly about what they’re against. Because they don’t have (or won’t make) time for the quiet time needed to find out and understand what they love. #randomthoughts #jamesclear #quote

Both of my parents were born in Europe, so we visited relatives and traveled there when I was young. So fun to see photos from that part of the world. Also great references to sketch from. ✍️💜 #artstr #photostr #nostr View quoted note →

First walk on the local mountain this afternoon. Saw a little buddy. Disappointed how far I could not go with my foot. Checked my steps for yesterday and apparently walking from airport terminal to terminal adds up: 3.1 miles vs. I usually do a half, so that might also be why my foot aches today. 🙄 #proofofwalk #outdoors #wildlife #cute #chipmunk

And after a 2 hour delay, Rustypuppy boarded the final 1 hour flight, arrived safely, had a 1 taxi ride, and is now going to bed. 🛌 #gn #travel #sotired #photostr #nofilter

GM! Breakfast of 5:30 am airport champions. ✈️ #gm #travel #leavingonajetplane

GM! Final travel packing and carry on finagling and, of course, time to make sure all digital device batteries are at full capacity. 🔋 This image comes from the comic Hyperbole and a Half, written by Allie Brosh:

Rented The Boy and the Heron, Miyazaki’s latest film. I intentionally didn’t look up anything about it. Starts slow, then gets a bit creepy, then full on Ghibli fantasy, and more info that wraps all the partial info you’ve been given into something that makes sense. If you like Howl’s Moving Castle, I think you’ll like this one. If you want the original Japanese with English subtitles, I know renting from Apple will work because that’s what I did. Amazon looked like only the English dub, but not sure since I specifically wanted to hear the original voices. #filmstr #ghibli #movie #review #miyazaki
