successfully pitched onchain social ✨ en français ✨ at midnight last night over spicy margs turns out it's really hard to overcomplicate something in a language you don't have a lot of vocabulary in lol

My focus is growing good content on Farcaster. I believe the mix of gym selfies + stream of consciousness casting + occasional flashes of unhinged personality is the killer combo. Starting with IRL native users, expanding to more culturally similar ecosystems, and later abstracted for universal appeal

reframing my partying this summer as "hanging out with non tech people so i can battle test how i explain onchain social and my company" does this mean i can expense all my bar tabs

9 week progress!! i’ve kept gel on them the entire time (except 1 day in between refreshing it every 2 weeks) and just let them grow + started doing the gel myself bc I no longer trust salons to remove it without damaging my nails + daily cuticle oil just chopped them down for a little rest period, but 6 more weeks and all the damage will be grown out finally 💅

every human has a finite amount of attention to give every day a like is a reflex. it has the lowest activation energy past scrolling itself. and yet only 5-20% of social media users like content. on speculative platforms, every piece of content offers a financial choice, a calculation. potential cost vs potential gain. a social feed becomes a feed of financial decisions. energy wanes, attention fractures. how many times a day can you weigh the current market cap and try to predict the future attention on each piece of content you see before deciding to buy or scroll to the next? there's a reason social behemoths are all built upon a design hyperoptimized to reduce friction as a ux person, i love experimentation. but what exact hypotheses are we working on here? who are we building for? it’s certainly not the billions of humans effortlessly scrolling instagram and twitter and tossing a like here and there

first off - thank you to everyone who reached out and offered support 💖 it really means a lot second - panic attacks, night sweats, trouble sleeping…these are just normal parts of living with chronic anxiety, especially for those of us who are neurodivergent. it might seem alarming from the outside, but for many of us, this isn’t a crisis, it’s just part of the cycle we’ve learned (or are still learning) to manage the fact that this cast (about healing from dysregulation) raised so many concerns shows just how misunderstood mental health still is. because the truth is: you can live with anxiety and still show up fully, thrive, and do absolutely incredible things someone recently told me that people are too open about their mental health these days. i couldn’t disagree more. the reactions to this are a reminder that we're not being too open, we're just not being fully understood yet i used to have it in my bio and even tho i don't anymore i still fully stand by it - vulnerability is strength

i've been working *a lot* on regulating my nervous system for the past 8 weeks i was having several panic attacks a day + waking up a ton throughout the night + night sweats + unable to sleep in past 6:30 no matter what time i went to bed the past two days my body has finally let me sleep in (8:30 and 9!!), which means my cortisol is no longer spiking unnecessarily overnight and my parasympathetic nervous system is starting to retake dominance (rest and digest vs fight or flight mode) big signal that all my regulation work is finally working 🥳 ✨
