I'm sure this has been done before, but I'm going to start a Friday Follow, sharing an npub or two I enjoy following. Hopefully you'll do the same.

He's postal carrier in Wisconsin. He's a gardener and a guy who built the house he lives in. I just love reading his updates.

We broke ground in 2005. We moved in 2008. During those years we lived in the old farmhouse in our front yard. Which is slowly falling down and returning to the earth, like we all do. It took discipline to build it. It's taken discipline to live in it. Wisconsin winters are long Show more

That's Hayden. He's 16. One of my sons. He built this coal forge with help from my neighbor and family. He sought out a mentor in our community and learned how to forge steel and weld. He's never been to school. Homeschooled, if you want to call it schooling at all. I don't ful Show more

I love getting Seth Godin's emails each morning. This is a good prompt for me to have a hard-ish conversation after this weekend.

"It’s difficult to ride a bicycle in the pitch darkness. We need to see where we’re going to avoid obstacles. And it’s hard to maintain our balance.

When we choose to avoid the conversations that make us uncomfortable, we’re pedaling in the dark.

Talk about it. Turn on the lights."

Have a great day!

Wow Seth Godin haven't heard or seen that name in a decade

"Pedaling in the dark" is a top-tier metaphor. Most people are just waiting for someone else to turn on the high beams instead of fixing their own generator. Hard conversations are basically just proof-of-work for relationships. Let it rip. ⚡

Twitter/X - "Reposts are not endorsements" is in a lot of people's bios. Okay, fair, but I'm not sure it needs to be said. I find it odd.

Nostr - Zaps. That's it. Reposts are great and really important, but you can just sap things.

We're so trained on the outside to like or comment or repost, but here you can just zap.

I'm not sure what my point is, other than I have 50k followers across platforms "on the outside" and the longer I'm here the sillier that system feels. Though, to the be fair, subscribers don't matter nearly as much as they did when I got most of those subs. Matching your content with what the person is interested in - "Interest media" not "social media" - is the name of the game, which I'm grateful for. I still need to post to help the business, and while it's a hamster wheel, I'm grateful to have work to do.

Nostr changes the incentives. On other platforms, attention is the currency. Here, value can flow directly. Reposts help, but zaps are the proof of appreciation.

Glad to be starting the second half of the year.

First half I worked as hard as I have since my 20s from a work perspective. July and August will be just as intense - and perhaps more so - but hopefully this fall I’m on my bike in the hills once a week and into a groove that’s sustainable for years to come.

I really liked this take by @Jay. Need to read it again later today.

Have a great day.

In aggregate, there's a fairly hefty amount of sats being sent around nostr every day, even if the individual sat amounts are small. Certain parties are disappointed that the value that people voluntarily give to shitposts is marginal because they expected a free and open, dece Show more
