Manadust / Manadust is on Nostr

I find this section terribly difficult to fill out. Good often feels not good enough. So, I'll list some things and edit it over time. Maybe it'll get better.
- avid gardener, morning person, lover of good food and drink, outside is the best, good conversation and friendship are immeasurable, reading is underrated, aspire to the noble position of farmer or shepherd, life long dreamer, local is the way.

Thank you for having the courage to write this and share it here. My wife and I have had many conversations on this topic - specifically the “how do we teach them about the internet and the tool it is/how to use it? How do we disciple and raise them up so they’re defining their relationship with this technology and not just having it defined for them through non intentional interaction with the internet or other bad actors (governments, big tech, and the plethora of the blob that don’t actually give a shit about their well-being). Anyway, I found your piece beautifully nuanced and well written. It was thought provoking and actually adds a lot to the conversation/spurs the conversation onward. We need to talk about this stuff as a culture and change. And honestly the presence of that content even on a place like primal/nostr based platforms bothers me/makes me pause in my desire to share the platform with others sometimes. The hard part is that I don’t think places like twitter/x, fb, instagram etc. are a good solution either and like you said - the problem persists anyway. One of the things I’m trying to figure out is how you can better filter/use relays to ensure that content doesn’t show up in your personal feeds-again thinking of how kids and other peers may use these applications. Because a lot of people will point this out as a reason to choose centralized and censored tech platforms instead because an algo or team scrapes csam content off the platform. Still, I am going to echo something you said recently because I think it too: Thank God for nostr. I’ve never read something like that on a topic that uncomfortable and real on any other platform. We need more real and difficult conversations that we can’t/don’t just cancel and shut out because they’re considered “pc” or scary etc. THANK YOU. 💜⚡️🫡

Good morning NOSTR! I’m trying to find music source alternatives to Spotify and YouTube. I’ve tried SoundCloud and it’s pretty good. In general I like supporting the musicians and not the large streaming platforms. We buy cds directly from artists when possible, but I’m not opposed to digital sourced online. What do you suggest? #music #artist #nostr #asknostr

I think our favorites so far are tomatoes. They always seem to outgrow the plant stand/light set up and the kids love seeing that.

Nice. We will hopefully put out seed potatoes in the next week once the garden is less wet. Never heard of Johnson-su type compost, but a quick search of that and I’m interested. Will have to read more about it.

Love this idea & practice. I am trying to do this regularly/build the habit into my weekly rhythms.

Garden planning and seed starting for 2025! I love that my children love the outdoors and get excited every year to plant and tend the garden. #homesteading #gardening #family
Anybody else out there started planning their 2025 garden or put some seeds in their trays yet? What’s your favorite garden plant to start from seed?

Long time sidelines listener of @nprofile…dmyk, @nprofile…kr2f, @nprofile…0wa2, @nprofile…qy52 @nprofile…szx8 @nprofile…ntf7 @nprofile…7p82 @nprofile…vujp @nprofile…lh5m @nprofile…zslp @nprofile…vuws .My brother orange pilled me years ago with with the help of this group and your many podcasts, essays and posts. It often takes many touch points for things to click and solidify. Excited to see BTC and NOSTR grow. These things feel hopeful. They’re different. I historically don’t participate in social media because it feels like more of a blight than a boon to humanity. The combination of BTC and NOSTR does seem different though. And it feels like just the beginning. No more sitting on the sidelines. Time to participate. Time to build and share.
So, GM and thanks for all you have done and continue to do. I will endeavor to do my part too. Onward.
