Founder of the Queen City Resiliency Salon, leading my community into creating a value-for-value economy encouraging sovereignty every step of the way. Been here since January 2025 and still figuring things out. I am a real lady nostrich, I promise I am not a bot and that is not what a bot would say. There will be puppy pictures, her name is Princess Aurora. I try to keep things positive and spread love ❤️. I am a very silly billy. My favorite "conspiracy" recently is around the gifted and talented program some of us were in during elementary school. Did you get the pink drink? Did you listen to the gateway experience on giant headphones? Did you play the beep boop game to guess what happens next? Did you play the Zener cards or make pictures out of abstract blocks? As an adult do you notice you have stronger than usual intuition? Do you have extremely vivid dreams that are sometimes prophetic? Can you hear the click clicks? Do you still have imaginary friends? Do they tell yo

I've done a lot of research into barter this past year. I'm thinking a local relay for communication to resolve double coincidence of wants combined with the fact that the commissioner of revenue said we could have up to four in person markets per year could solve it for us. Barter is a taxable event in the eyes of the IRS and as such only very small scale individual trades would escape notice. Doing it at scale would be untenable and get you in as much trouble as running Bitcoin businesses without paying tax. Tex evasion is a hell of a drug 🤣 I think Bitcoin is better as it's easier to travel with, but most in my group thinks barter is better because it's less abstract 🤷‍♀️🤔🫣 image View quoted note →

The first What the Node Wednesday was a wild success! A dozen people came, we fixed problems and learned a lot! Someone worked in tech and gave away two crates of mini computers at the end! 😁

So I feel very proud (and my apologies but I'm going to brag a bit 😁) My Resiliency Salon has been a lot of effort, and lot of outside my comfort zone work, and a lot of my own money. But I feel called to do it and think it's an important strategy for moving our society into a better future. Yesterday the mayor of our city swung by and asked to chat with me. She'd heard about our group and wanted to know more. After over an hour she wanted to join and have the city support us where possible. I know, I know, government isn't the favorite of people on Nostr. But this is institutional buy-in based on my proof of work and I couldn't be more excited 😊

Somehow my eye got all angry at me 😭 I tried to do hot salt water compress last night but it's swollen and red today. Any other remedies you could suggest? image
