gm everyone! we are testing out a frame for choose your own adventure stories! It guides you through a small adventure, allows you to collect an NFT (in testnet), and propose changes and ideas for improving or continuing the world and story!

Our initial tests are with stories from /arrow and /lum , from the world of a game called The Lumen Directive! A TTRPG funded by the $ARROW community

This is a very first mvp, and we hope to launch a polished version in the next few weeks! Every comment and idea will be taken into account

Farcaster

First Draft Club

The Unwritten Rules of Farcaster (a thread 1/11)


1.	Don’t ask for follows—most users ignore or avoid those who do.
2.	Engagement matters—treat it as a social network, not just a broadcasting platform.
3.	The algorithm prioritizes engagement—interact with content you like to train your feed.
4.	Give likes freely to support content you enjoy.
5.	Reply thoughtfully—generic responses don’t add value and may be ignored.
6.	Tag people with purpose—avoid tagging non-followers without a good reason.
7.	Use channels to connect—they’re a safe space for engaging beyond your followers.
8.	If you’re being ignored, check your spam label—many won’t see your replies if you’re at Level 0 or 1.
9.	Rules are looser with friends—banter freely, but remember relationships take time to build.
10.	Farcaster is a unique, close-knit community—engage authentically, be patient, and you’ll find your place.

curation

My thoughts on 'L'art Dégénéré' at the Picasso Museum:

Overall, I liked it. The show even brought me to tears with the personal story of one artist, Otto Freundlich, who I didn't know of before, but who joined several anti-fascist movements and was sadly sent to the camps, where he was murdered. There were excerpts shared from his last letters that I found extremely moving. Spotlighting an individual story was important for putting into context the devastating realities a fascist regime has on individual lives.

The exhibition was otherwise largely a historical recounting of the Degenerate Art propaganda campaign set in motion by the Nazis. I was looking to see if there were any connections made with our current political climate. Unsurprisingly, there were none, but perhaps it's too dangerous and premature for a museum to make such a statement connecting fascism with contemporary politics today. Some curatorial choices that were extraneous, but over all well done!

Thanks Benna for raising  important topics about the rise of fascism, its difficult relationship with art and its impact on individual lives. 
I have been doing research on related subjects these past weeks, and I think it is necessary to educate more about this issue.

The problem I have tearing crypto apart is that I don’t really understand it technically at all detailed level. My objections are all philosophical. It uses up a ton of energy so people can speculate and do arbitrage. How is that worth it? I’ve used it to pay journalists in Afghanistan and appreciate that but I’d rather all this energy be spent ending sanctions. What am I missing?

Be prepared to discover a lot on the philosophical part of blockchains. 
My mind hasn't been blown like this since the beginnings of the internet 😅

Writers

I really enjoyed @danicaswanson's article on thinking about systems for writing.

Social media is designed to highlight the ephemeral. We all know why: it keeps users addicted and scrolling the feed (which can be sold to advertisers).

But how might you design a social media experience that highlights persistence? 🤔

Philosophy

An Nft is a link to an artwork
 
It strikes me suddenly : there is something very deep in this !
An NFT creates a link between you and the artwork. 
Links are manifestations of interconnectedness. 

So what I really want when I collect is this link indeed.

Happy women's day !

Centuries of inequalities, freedom suppressions, and a fight still ongoing all over the world. 

Real men stand by your side.

On this day one cannot stay silent while the word woman is now forbidden in US research, with many others, in an unprecedent attack on science.
