hey @dwr.eth, question about mutual follows and commenting re: new channel changes. here's the situation: say "User A" and I are mutual follows. and "User A" comments in "Channel X" but i'm not a member of nor do i follow "Channel X" currently, my comment on the post by "User A" shows up in the "see more replies" section since we're mutual follows, i'd expect that my comment wouldn't need to show up in "see more replies" for "User A" seems to me like the social proof of mutual connections would improve the experience of channel hosts, followers, and members looking to discover new people. i'm wondering if this was an unexplored nuance?

both @mxjxn.eth and @eddie answers to the #CAQOTW show how finding a way to subsidize your art can help keep creativity pure—whether through freelancing or a day job. Are they alone? How do you support your art without compromising it?

today's #FollowFriday is @maxosiris. the most sold artist on @superrare all-time. a transdimensional provocateur who's never afraid to speak his mind. and someone i consider a friend since my first days in this space. https://superrare.com/artwork/eth/0xb932a70a57673d89f4acffbe830e8ed7f75fb9e0/49314

true story: i got hit on by my phlebotomist today. she told me i was "very strong." and then told my mother (who also had an appointment for blood work after me) to "have a wonderful day with your beautiful son." i'm both phlattered and phlumoxxed.

❓Cryptoart Question of the Week ❓ Finding a balance between passion and profit is a constant struggle in the arts. It’s easy to get lost in one and lose sight of the other. How can we balance passion and profit in the art world? Is it possible to do both well? Please tag your replies with #CAQOTW.

change is constant, but when I know it's coming, i get this pit of anxiety in my solar plexus. i'm way, way, way more comfortable reacting to change in the moment and relying on my intuition to get through it, than i am preparing for a known change.

one of the things i truly enjoy is going through the casts, comments and conversations from the week in /epr and seeing if anything can be turned into a blog post where i can capture an idea and add a little more depth to it.

99.9% of everything the DMV does should be fully automated and take no more than 20 minutes. feels like that whole thing should've been figured out by a Web2 SaaS.

inspiration can come from anywhere. and often when you least expect it. my cousin made a passing comment to me two days ago, and it's been resonating with me ever since.

to paraphrase Joe Frazier, a champion is not made in the ring they’re seen in it.

John Kerry called the First Amendment a "major block" to stopping "disinformation" In the latest episode of the /risingtide podcast we talk about why the Democrats want to abolish the First Amendment (Right to Free Speech). And discuss that the only way they'll be able to do that is by first abolishing the Second Amendment (Right to Bear Arms). https://www.foxnews.com/video/6362645263112

there are only so many L2 chains and wallets and bridges that i can manage at one time. personally, i find it all tedious and exhausting. but this is a UX problem as far as i'm concerned. so hopefully, people smarter than me are working on ways to make managing it all easier.

as an introvert, i find it difficult to maintain long-term casual relationships with people. hearing successful creatives like Deborah Ann Woll describe this tension is affirming. https://youtu.be/hC07aVjdRC8?si=izyAZAurnej-dBGc&t=4710
