JOB UPDATE: I've finished my first week working full-time as a packing line operator at a local sawmill + accepted an additional sidequest chopping and stacking firewood for a neighbor. image I am very grateful for those opportunities and to be able to provide real, tangible value to the world. That being said, I will continue looking for challenges that are perhaps better aligned with my Dharma, related to Bitcoin, love & freedom, and which may make better use of my unique history and skillset. A huge thank you to all who have shared the job search note and/or suggested specific people to connect with, I was honestly blown away by the support! I've already had a few lovely calls with some great people on nostr who are working on interesting projects aligned with my own values and have a few more chats lined up. Very excited to see where this all goes! View quoted note →

Been clocking in at the new job for over a month now. What I said below still stands though: I am grateful for the job, but would rather work on freedom & love-oriented projects. Quality timber is good, packing it well is great, but freedom and love are essential. Heal & Fix the world is what I want to engage in. I'd also happily work a "regular" job in service of other Bitcoiners or value-aligned people. There is something much deeper about knowing who you're working with and what you're helping to build together as opposed to "just doing your job" and not caring about who or what it serves. In addition, the current job does not make much use of my biggest muscle - the creative muscle. More details about me & my previous job experience (in addition to the sawmill job) in the notes quoted down below. View quoted note →
