True Story: I saw a provocative post on a social media platform and I was about to reply with a witty comment. Then I thought; who cares? This guys a degenerate shill and I closed the app, shared my experience on Nostr. When I visit social media it’s become a crazy place compared to Nostr. It just took some time to get out of the toxic orbit. Back to the easel, getting after it. #grownostr #normies #artstr #studio #artist #painting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDHhZ2PXWKs a friend, Jeff Johnston, runs a Youtube channel called UkeeTube. He's a local musician / videographer, he gets some amazing drone footage and impressive views captured. Today he posted a nice longer format video, you might enjoy. #gm #grownostr #ocean #video #chillvibes #jeffjohnston #ukeetube #ucluelet #vancouverisland #canada

Nice 👍 I have ridden a couple of those and still have a jersey I’m fond of.

We attended the same public school. A few of us have maintained friendships since then. Kids from the reservation(s) took a boat or a bus into town. In previous generations the kids attended residential schools away from home. While living in a remote village, I went to high school and stayed in a dormitory ( at a public school not an Indian residential school)

Grabbed a coffee with Jason Titian last night. We’ve been friends since about the 6th grade. Jason is a Nuuchahnulth carver from Uchucklesaht His most recent project is this portrait mask with an articulating jaw. It’s not quite finished The mask represent a figure who is kind of a heckler who says aloud the things others wouldn’t or can’t. He’s not so much critical as he is just trying to make sense of his situation. His nervousness and fidgeting, asking inappropriate questions indirectly teaches us about the uncomfortable realities of life. It relates to a societal device that has as once used here; a carved smiling grin that allowed the wearer to say things publicly they could not otherwise say aloud. This new mask is a contemporary persona, who is struggling and flawed, lives in modern culture and is reconnecting with their culture and true nature. Powerful stuff. Jason is thinking of making some videos featuring the mask running his mouth and figuring out some stuff on the way.

Myles is on Nostr and now a bitcoiner on a shakepay streak
