Love before-and-after pics for projects like this. Looking forward to yours. I'm the same way: clutter and disorganization constrains my thinking and hampers my creative flow, so whenever things get out of sorts I always have to take time out to fix that before I'll be at my best.

I appreciate that sort of intellectual honesty, and try to practice it myself whether I'm for or against something. I plan to write about Moxie eventually. I hope I can articulate why I'm so excited about it. But I'll wait to do that until after I've had some time to observe how it behaves in the real world. I'm aware that I have a tendency to get a little overzealous about ideas in the abstract, and I try to correct for that whenever possible. Might be fun to compare notes at some point if you do reach more clarity about your objections.

Interesting. For me it's the opposite: I'm typically skeptical about most crypto projects and I hesitate to experiment. But Moxie strikes me as extremely well thought-out and positive-sum in ways I haven't seen elsewhere in my 3+ years in crypto. At the same time, I'm a fan of listening to gut instincts. Even if your gut turns out to be wrong, it's still telling you something important and making a bid for your attention.

Sounds like a good call. I usually find that the quality of my work improves when I allow my brain to take whatever time it needs to recharge.

I appreciate the tips and the vote of confidence, but I don't think it was a wish-fulfillment sort of dream. IRL I'm sure I'd be far more capable of contributing my best work if I'm not overloaded. In my early days on FC I actually did receive a couple of offers from well-known casters who liked my essays, but they didn't become clients of mine and I decided not to pursue it. Dan also recasted the editorial style guide I created when I was Senior Editor for Starbased. That totally made my day, especially because I knew he majored in English in his university days. So my dream-mind wasn't pulling those scenarios out of thin air, at least... lol.

Love it. More of this kind of vocabulary-building and word appreciation on Farcaster, please.

I haven't read it. But after seeing this comment I looked it up, read the first page, and added it to my reading queue. Thank you for suggesting it! Looks like it'll take me deep into the weeds indeed...

Slowcore HQ Friday Ritual (scheduled cast) What did you "not-do" this week? Not-doing covers "preserving things" as well as "moving slow," so feel free to interpret the question creatively.

I think you've seen this, but I'll drop the thread about my individual Fan Token auction here so it's linked to this convo for future reference. https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x6756a759

i would love a Zora client for writers not sure how to index or target text-centric mints beyond pdfs, but it would be awesome to have a place where poems, lyrics, screenshot essays, etc. get a first-class experience!

I can understand that. I never joined FriendTech or AlfaFrens myself, and in general the concept doesn't sit well with me either. In this case the bonding curves are logarithmic, however, which (according to the docs) emphasizes membership and utility over speculation. We'll see how it plays out. Just figured I'd rather be the guinea pig for that experiment myself. There's no clear reason to do it for the channel yet. https://build.moxie.xyz/the-moxie-protocol/moxie-protocol/fan-tokens#moxie-bonding-curves

Update: I'll hold off on launching Moxie Fan Tokens for the Slowcore HQ channel in the near future, mostly because it's not yet clear to me how doing so would serve the FC slowcore movement specifically. I'm still very excited about Moxie, but because it's so early I felt it would be better to stick to my own individual Fan Token experiment and learn from that before committing to it for the channel. If it *does* become clear that the channel would benefit, we can certainly reconsider! For reference, here are the discussions about it. If you have input, feel free to chime in. https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x20770f4d https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x701fb640

Good to know. I've never taken a course in etymology specifically, but I agree that it's fun to talk about it. Thanks to @cameron for creating this new space for us to do things like that.

I mentioned in my reply to Daniel above that my go-to is the Online Etymology Dictionary. As a non-specialist I can't tell you which resources are considered definitive, but Etymonline has been sufficient for what I do. But this is Farcaster, so maybe there are etymology nerds here who can chime in.

When I need to answer etymological questions during copy editing work, my go-to is the Online Etymology Dictionary. I'm afraid I can't offer much in the way of specific advice on leveraging etymology in good writing, though. Maybe browse their list of sources and see if any of those titles interest you...? https://www.etymonline.com/ https://www.etymonline.com/columns/post/sources
