Literally--pun intended--cannot wait for this event

Brings together things I love (books! literature! creative works!) with things I'm looking to learn more about: what's the future of onchain publication like? how can more writers get opportunities onchain?

Kudos @amelie

Been thinking about the city I grew up in and love—Istanbul

And of course, its defiant, lovable cats

Looking for insights from the community: anyone had back issues in their lifting journey? How did you deal with them?

Before International Women's Day, a colleague asked a question in a team stand-up that stayed with me

"Who's a woman that inspires you?"

Wrote up some thoughts recently

Food

First time making banana bread with proper texture 

Only bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, cinnamon, oat flour, chopped walnuts, and dark chocolate 

Food photo aesthetics still work in progress :)

Ran today for the first time after months of pause (and a stint of smoking that I thankfully gave up, again)

It was grinding 

But good to be back at it

How do you stay on top of content you want to consume across different media (ie podcast, X, Substack etc.)

My pain points: 

- if I see something interesting but don’t have time to read it then, I will forget about it (even if I bookmark)
- switching across platforms makes it hard to prioritize the most relevant

coffee

Snow, destroyed latte art, and thinking about the impermanence of beautiful things etc

Finally got my copy. Evening reading time.

185lb deadlifts, PR 💪🏻

Even just a few months ago, I couldn’t have imagined this number. Showing up is everything

After a year of building together, @talent and @base are making it official.

This strategic investment from the Base Ecosystem Fund, led by @coinbaseventures, is another push to bring more builders onchain!

Thanks @jessepollak @kabir @serrasari @0x-ry and the rest of the Base team for all the support so far!

Stay based, keep building 🫡

Huge congrats to the @talent team, truly imaginative and based builders 💙

Helping builders get the recognition they deserve.

Happy Monday! Hope you all crush something you’re scared of this week ☀️

Here’s a starter from me

Solid reminder. Keep building, whatever it is.
