Don't recall where I first heard it, but it instantly made sense to me.

Unfollowed about 20 channels. Some were once very promising, but I've lost interest as they've become overrun with generic content: boring AI art, tedious watered-down platitudes, endless streams of mints with no context, farmed low-effort replies, etc. I greatly appreciate curated channels and the work done by mods.

Wait, what?! You're referring to this cast, I'm sure. So you went from no experience with degen tipping at all to having a bag of at least 10K $degen, getting an allowance, & following up like this in 2 days? Impressive. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the list of writers! https://warpcast.com/danicaswanson/0x3ae4ceb3

From a recent piece in The Atlantic on the importance of spiritual practice: "...to develop a healthy faith, practice is more important than feeling, and feeling is more important than belief. This implies the reverse of what most people do to develop a spiritual life..." ~ Arthur C. Brooks https://archive.ph/D2Lxu

To answer your Q: here are a few people whose writings (including casts) I appreciate enough that I've retro-tipped them and would gladly do so again as allowance permits. @naomiii @tombeck.eth @foxwizard @markmcclure.eth @danielmcglynn @wanderloots.eth The list is longer, but that should give you a good start.

Hello and thank you for the tip! I'm sorry I didn't respond to this earlier; I never got a notif in Warpcast for this comment at all. Only happened to notice it because I got a new comment in this thread from someone I was already following. Not the first time this has happened. Will answer your question in next cast.

Much appreciated. Thank you so much for retro-tipping my cast about retro-tipping... lol. 💜

Follow-up: I've been reading on accessibility. Lots to learn! Used a color contrast checker; the page above met the standards AFAICT. On Paragraph I'm unable to change the text size without CSS; if I go down that rabbit hole it'll cost a lot of time. So I just changed the font. Is this more readable for you, @christin?

Haha! Well, that was more amusing than I expected. 😄 Had no idea this cast would be so relatable. Didn't even cast it into a channel; I just wrote it as a quick thing on my timeline before going to sleep, then woke up to 40 likes and a song generated from my cast... lol.

I hear that. I like the idea of "JOMO" (joy of missing out), and that's how I typically feel about most events, but with Farcon I suspect that even I may feel a twinge of FOMO this week. We shall see...

I borrowed it from the library a long time ago and read some of it, which I enjoyed, but never managed to finish it before it was due to be returned. I put it on my wish list. Thanks for the reminder. So many great books, so little time... lol.

The cheering section has a role to play in the success of conferences too! We can like the conference photos, tell FC insider jokes, watch all the talks on video afterward, etc. Also, fortunately I just found the /introvert channel. My people!!

I'm about a third of the way through. Definitely enjoying it so far!

I've mentioned this in DCs, but for anyone who's curious: much as I love FC, I won't be at Farcon. I'm extremely introverted & easily overstimulated, so I wouldn't function well in that sort of environment. But I love watching and cheering from a distance, so you may see lots of likes from me on your casts this week.

Great points. Maybe we'll eventually see some kind of hybrid of TC, FC, and Zora. That sounds good to me! I know Jacob once talked about FC as a "universal conversation layer," so perhaps it's not too far off the mark.

In other words: yes, I definitely do feel it helps me live a slowcore life. There's also a great essay by Rebecca Korvo in PMVPC (p. 59 of the print version) in which she talks about reducing TV viewing, especially violence-as-entertainment. I appreciate that essay so much.

I just published an interview from the archives in which I talked about my approach to media. Here's the relevant bit: "...my path of service calls for near-complete avoidance of movies, television, and any forms of media entertainment that do not support the inner silence necessary for my contemplative practice."

Just published on @paragraph: a re-release of a 3-question interview I did in 2018 (5 min read). I talked a bit about inspirations, institutionalism vs counterculture, and communal living. https://paragraph.xyz/@blackstonesanctuary/contemplative-animist-monasticism-interview-danica-swanson?referrer=danicaswanson.eth

(Weird. That "site maintenance" link got added to the cast without my intent, and I couldn't delete it for some reason. Anyway, it's not relevant).
