So way back when, as an introverted teenager I read voraciously. Then I became a young adult and discovered I did not have any social skills, and that was not good. So I pretty much completely swore-off reading novels for pleasure for a couple decades, for what should be obvious reasons.
Somewhere around when my first kid came along, I had been poking around at (anti-)#socialmedia, and was experiencing a sustained "this is a complete waste of time" feeling. And then I realized that it was all about mass surveillance, and that was the end. That was quite some years ago, have not touched that drug since then. But somewhere along there, I started reading novels again (currently using a Kindle with wifi PERMANENTLY disabled) because among other things it turns out that reading novels is great for de-stressing, especially before bed time.
Along comes #Nostr. Apparently not a waste of time, not a corporate honey pot, not so easily the subject of mass surveillance. And possibly, finally, the bitcoin "killer app". So I am adding to my "spend bitcoin often" resolution: also post on Nostr often. I do like how posting like this motivates a certain kind of daily journalling, which is definitely a good thing that I do not do enough of. Let's see how it goes.
