Riambel by Priya Hein

A very short novel exploring the life of a mixed-race young woman and how colonization has officially ended, but things remain pretty much the same in modern Mauritius.

An excellent book, contemporary literary fiction, with content warnings for sexual abuse, infidelity, suicide, and the very stark racism of it all.

Maybe we don't need fandom.

every time there's a degen claim day and i still don't have enough to be able to tip people is a sad time :((((

Supercast feature request of the day: mute people from a post (or from their profile because I don't think you can do that either). A clean and two-click way of getting rid of these pesky bots in my favourite channels :)

Also: I love supercast, it's great, and I recommend it to everyone who uses Farcaster!

No, the news is not information junk food, another take I really like!

One rule in documentation & marketing content that I try to always follow: never ever say something is easy.
If it is: good, it will be quick to explain. If it's not, you're insulting your reader.

This is an excellent blog post about how people control each other and themselves − trusts, cultural values, contracts… It's an essential read for all trust infrastructure enthusiasts, in my opinion.

i am now on holidays, see you in exactly one month ✌️

reminder for folks worried about spam labeling, token rules changing, moxie jail, etc

i had not heard of a single one of all these monetization things when i joined farcaster. i can only recommend that slightly confusing, but pretty healthy, experience.

10 Moxie Passes available, including mine hehe

i don't understand what moxie is or what i'm supposed to do with it oops

As a reader who actually reads more non-fiction than fiction but appreciates both, this take keeps coming up and is said so smugly and confidently that it can’t be roasted enough.

I’ve encountered this sentiment many times over the years, from devs and founders to academics to organizers and sometimes even creatives.

One thing they seemed to have in common, aside from a generally dismissive attitude toward the importance of culture, is they were far less imaginative and empathetic than most of their peers in the same field and spoke more in jargon than in vernacular (which limited their ability to communicate complicated ideas to the average person).

Everyone processes information differently so if fiction isn’t your thing then cool. But to argue that non-fiction has a monopoly on “real” and is inherently, objectively better for learning is big know-it-all energy.

i now have supercast on my personal profile, which means i might now actually use farcaster (…after my month off). woo

august is a very long month for b2b marketers.
what are y'all doing while your clients are out?

i'm trying to:
- get a backlog of content to make things easier in september and october
- read A LOT about the industry: when creating less, time to learn more
- get some rest. underrated :)

Hylé is a lean blockchain that helps you build provable applications that are minimally, yet sufficiently, onchain.

last day before i stop freelancing for @hyle-org is friday. after that, i get a month off before (finally) joining full-time!

so excited to finally join the team for good 🎉

I believe we're moving from Attention Economy to Engagement Economy!

It's less about bots and fake likes, and much more about data-driven choices, with clearer and higher ROI, full of human interactions and IRL connectivity. 

And guess what? 

It can only exist onchain.
