Having A friend staying w/ me briefly while I heal has been the missing ingredient. Forever present, expressing & exchanging inspiration w/ a human irl makes this virtual world inconsequential for those moments.
This peace is temporary if rooted in exchanging resonance & energy tho.
Gotta reprogram priorities.

Gotta reprogram priorities.
This week should be full of magical moments and memories. I’ve done everything in my power to create those in isolation, unfortunately I’m starved of sharing those experiences, while losing outlets to meaningful share in real time, while also subjected to rage inducing discourse about topics I’ve dedicated my life to.
I can only ignore the noise if there’s a meaningful exchange of energy available to validate or bounce feedback off of.
If you’re an artist, trying to lock in. Virtual exposure to sentiments, trends, discourse, and unavoidable depressing and grim observations were losing more meaningful tools to reach daily.
What would you do? If you were decades in, no breaks, no wavering, dues paid 100x over. & the only thing based on the collective conscious thought hive is signaling. “You are wasting your time” pivot to hvac or plumbing.
These aren’t thoughts I want tied to a huge life changing milestone.
My hope feels foolish in a void, and fear & resentment overpower

Acknowledgement goes so far.
Communication is so undervalued & unappreciated.
What I’ve learned after 4 years in this space. Being early, being consistent, being supportive, being prolific, being brave, being genuine, being honest amounts to zero (w/ minimal exception)
Years of positive actions & love erased by communicating openly about the issues everyone’s also seeing & feeling but won’t risk being direct outside the private chats.
Acknowledge / communication goes so far.
I gave this space way to much unconditionally to be wondering where did all that love go. Where did decency & integrity go.
If this is a really just a modern day opportunistic mean girls, false optimism, curated cult of flimsy moral, disguised as “vibe” cliques.
It’s disheartening, coming to terms with how everyone that championed & encouraged my journey & selflessness are letting me fall out of love, faith & admiration with what feels like a space that I no longer recognized .

Posting in channels that aren’t my own, feels like I signed up for the anti-social graph haha.
Proof of trying not to lose the faith / mission
Proof of trying not to lose the faith / mission
I attempted some normal human activities yesterday. Simple things any normal adult can achieve without those simple things even being thought of as an achievement.
I “achieved” climbing a mountain in my world, but immediately my body reminded me, mountains aren’t your reality anymore.
It’s surreal trying to balance this hidden, complicated and difficult daily reality I have no choice but to experience while also trying to navigate being a highly expressive & creative human in a world where genuine expression & creativity aren’t valued & even if that weren’t the case, nearly all pipelines of reach / impact feel like they have been systematically sabotaged to make room for the consumption of brain rot.
Combining both these personal realities is overwhelming. It feels like science fiction. Is this really my life moving forward? Is this really living? Is there even a point to sharing these honest communications.

Activity is the olive branch.
I don’t function optimally without human connection. Yet, I functioned on all cilinders for years while physically nerfed and ultra isolated. I saw the signs of virtual pipeline being cut off in 2016 & pivoted to not focusing on finishing albums and creating in the moment at all time. Then I pivoted to web3 early 2021 and built the largest body of unique varied work spanning multiple decades, while documenting actual life any pivotal moments good or worth worthy of documented. All of that still exists, yet now web3 resembles web2, the trust is gone, the pipeline is broken. So the incentive or excitement to document is gone, but what’s not gone is what’s already been documented. It’s a lot, it exists. It should be celebrated. I refuse to content mill, I refuse to farmed for volume. I refuse to keep “playing the game” of working hard in broken discovery world when my hard work already exists in excess. I have so much undocumented. No human connection to justify keep sharing it

This used to be true. This is the farthest thing from truth right now. How do I know? Because all respected natives aren’t happy, the normies I onboarded aren’t happy & got to tell me “you said this was an escape from ig”
This doesn’t feel better than I.G. This will never be tumblr. This isn’t social. The today feed is rigged & doesn’t work. I loved Zora & the team but none of this makes sense, everyone is confused, it feels so out of touch & out of character.
This won’t scale. You had magic.. but ended up pulling the greatest magic trick making something beloved vanish.
Help me / us understand. We were your dedicated user base & your ignoring us and retweeting shills, feels like a 2021 defi rebase ponzi marketing.
I’m still holding hope, still using it but we deserve transparency. Communicate

I am very stressed @jacob
That stress increases with each public post about how stress free & great the platform I faithfully used and trusted for years is when the reality is all it’s functions were gutted w/o notice and replaced w/ non functional, stress heavy experience.
Help me understand please.

In the future I hope to be able to reflect on this era & laugh at the absurdity of sustaining physical injuries that feel like I was playing full contact sports from simply pressing records on pc from bed.
Sounds not relatable, over exaggerated & not believable but it happened, and there is a bit a comedy in that I’ll appreciate, once I gain back mobility.
This will all make for great book or web toon. No way I don’t get to take all these over the top L’s & transform them into something positive later.

Unused concept art
I wish I re-wire my brain at times. Small tweaks specifically with short term retention, learning functions, organization. While I know my specific brain build gives me creative advantages, I need coder brain to execute my greatest gift & vision to creative archivists.

Just want to go on record saying, not only is there years me publicly championing and onboarding documented, but my wallet speaks the loudest in terms of support & love. Most importantly, I’ve expressed privately sentiments & was told it was appreciated, and since everything I feared was implemented. Communication is King.
Question.
Based on recent events. (Ikyk)
Do you mind if I copy/paste all existing media, backstories, collections documented up to this point on platforms into my own contracts so I can continue documenting at the frequency I’ve been holding back on (based on instincts, that came true) to recapture the magic & joy I once felt?
I’m really asking your thoughts. But this has to & will happen.
Open to discourse as well as questions.

65 days has passed since I loudly signaled my daily reality.
when these signals suddenly stop.
Every signal since that day will a testament to how bad this technology failed humanity.
Goodmorning.

Since
“I WANT TO LIVE" (Continue?..)
was Documented on /zora 6.5.2024. Which leaves zero room for misunderstanding or “I didn’t know” to be a reality that exists on anytime after what comes next. The timeline is in the context. Feb, June, now August. The Time is up. How I spend the remainder will be dedicated to what I’ve experienced since 6.5.24
Why I cared about focusing on what I focused on, what this tech I spent the last years of my life used to mean & was branded towards. How, who & what changed that to what’s it’s become. Who intimately knew all the context but didn’t appreciate me vocalizing my observations & concerns even though They were out of love & that love was solidified through my consistent onchain actions.
compartmentalization thru the veil of “protecting vibe” is easy when it’s not your own survival (literally, not monetary or optic brand sense)
Why so serious?
Bruh. That will be impossible to question soon.

"COMMUNICATION RETIREMENT TYPE BEAT" (Dibia$e Sample Challenge)
One last artifact to share this weekend after this one & based on how much I’ve already documented + the super out of character generational wealth of context I’ve already provided.
I see no signals in sight that I’m not expressing into a vacuum

As I finally lay in silence after spending all day preparing to recap the past month Documented Artifacts. I’m realizing Legacy, output, identity.. none of it seem to matter in modern times. Maybe I spend time moving forward not being me. Sunset, Vanish & create an alt artist avatar. New energy, undocumented.
