I've been wanting to start a personal channel for a while now. People think /justbuild is my personal channel, but its not. I helped start, promote, and name it, but /justbuild belongs to the community it serves, the creators, innovators, artists, and builders of Farcaster.
After watching today's @okbanger I was set on finally creating one. I just needed a name and theme. Fortunately for me, in response to a cast I sent, @july asked me when we were creating a talk story channel.
You see in Hawaii we call casually connecting with friends, family, and strangers through conversation "talking story". We get to know one another through our stories, our personal lore, events big and small, both trivial and profound. Collectively they make us who we are.
You don't have to be from Hawaii to join in the conversation, you just need to come with a willingness to share. Here's a little video of what it means to locals to just talk story. https://youtu.be/HxL62f67RRY?si=HBb6KQpO3br4vgef 37 replies

Time for a re-intro.
I'm a GenX writer, eldergoth, senior editor, and music journalist. I've lived solo in a studio in Portland, OR for 16 years.
I was born in NW Illinois but grew up in Honolulu, Hawai'i. I'm long-divorced, feminist, queer-identified, and have no kids or pets.
My life pretty much revolves around reading, writing, learning, music, home decorating, and religion.
I'm basically a monastic without a monastery.
The majority of my interests probably qualify as niche.
Here are some interests I’ve rarely casted about, but would gladly do so more often in the right contexts + cozy corners.
- gift economy and culture
- dark ambient music
- "shop talk" for professional editors
- cottages and tiny homes
- goth home decor
- darkness retreats/meditation
- car-free living
- dance (especially bellydance)
- subterranea (basements, caves, etc.)
- right-to-die movements
- my Swedish + German ancestry and family history
- monasticism in modern polytheistic religion
- philosophy of work and leisure 10 replies
