Submission this week is related to something I heard listening to a podcast, that 70% of problems in relationships are persistent and never go away. Really threw me for a loop and have been jotting down thoughts about it since. Read full post on Zora

feels great to be back! https://paragraph.xyz/@dish/post-clank-clarity

the DAY have come.
there is no other way to make me writing and sharing constantly than to publicly point it.

so here we go
I'm officially at /firstdraft  and won't give up this time.

of course if you'll support me I will be very thankful

let the adventure begins

Wrote a short post on building an on-chain footprint. I'll drop the completed content once the post is live.

working draft of a personal essay on the founder journey - still a long way to go, but I guess that’s what first drafts are for 😉

(+ special mention of @base camp from last year)

A short reflection on perhaps my most memorable epiphany as a teacher for this week's /firstdraft 

I wonder if other teachers of Farcaster have had similar or different realizations?

Farcaster Saturday Nights (my /firstdraft )

You can tell a lot about a group by how they spend their downtime. Dinner around the table w/ wine. Pizza & game night. Or strewn about the living room talking about life, someone picks up a guitar, whatever goes. 

Farcaster Saturday nights reveal a lot about us as a community. @eriks celebrated the 'next-level randomness of the saturday night purple app.' Satruday nights on FC are like the strewn about, whatever goes IRL gathering. It says how comfortable we are together & how we enjoy sharing whatever hits us. There are no awkward silences. 

Take last night: Thoughtful posts from @abundance on degen & @betashop.eth on Moxie. @wellzy reaching out on behalf of ham. We got memes, vibes, & memories including NBA 96 from @ccarella.eth & learned that @christopher is a Tar Heel. 2 subtle AMAs from @dwr.eth & his first ITAP. And 50 others I can't remember...

I enjoy the randomness of FC Saturday night b/c of what it says about us--it's a FC Network State casual hang.

To break trough the sunflowers, Bodhilama has to write affirmations, reflect and integrate. While flicking through his journal, he remembers where his journey started and who he met on his way. Sometimes it is good to take a break, sit down and reflect. The brain needs that.

This week I wanted to dive deeper into Warpcast Spam Labels and how to rescue friends from Spam Jail. How do you know your friends are labeled as spam? How do you help them once you know? Read on to find out more. Feedback always appreciated!

The most difficult part of writing is actively managing feedback loops.

The more I write, the more I realize I want to invest in designing better loops.

Skin in the Game

Skin, in regard to “the game”, is not money. If skin is money, the game cannot be played.   

A monetary stake is a distraction - a false positive. Betting on an outcome, as opposed to participating in the process, makes you a gambler, or to some, an investor - but are you truly invested? 

Money talks, talk is cheap. Donate your money, shed your clothes, show some skin. You are now playing the game. An active participant, released from the role of well intentioned critic - no choice but to shape the present into a favorable future. The game was always intended to be played.
