Awesome! Another mini-challenge from my favorite triple-jump champion! Guess I know how I'll be starting my workout tomorrow!

Hey, @pretlove - have you done one of these before?
My wife: "Do you have anything in the calendar for October 31st?"

Me:
Who wants an invite? 10K $D being dropped in this Round!

Also there's still a round for regular photos if anyone needs an invite for that one... 40K $D up for grabs there...
OK, who wants an invitation to /itookaselfie ?

I know this is a very niche photographic category, but I'm hoping that there's SOMEONE in my fabulous group of friends/followers/cyber-stalkers who might occasionally take these.
I am a real meat person with assorted detachable kitten accessories and /itookaselfie
What's gnu?

There's 40K in DEGEN up for grabs in the latest photo contest in ITAP, so if you think this sexy 'beest deserves a share, please click through to ❀️/πŸ”„/comment

P.S. If you want an invite to the channel, let me know! I've got one to gift a friend!

Very basic, but it's one of my first workouts back since an injury... thanks to @pretlove for the motivation!
Swampnet Bankman-Fried respects my wrong opinions on a site where many OTHER* famous & well-known accounts don't even respect my right opinions.

Like Baby Yoda said, in that one famous GIF, "The way this is."

*If you are reading this & thinking it is about you, well, yes, & also I'm already working on my own client.
Step 1. Do the workout
Step 2. Celebrate your win

The first is all about you - the second is about inspiring others. My workout today has been inspired by ‡️
I took a photo of a wildebeest on Crescent Island, a small park located in the middle of Kenya's Lake Naivasha.

It's a unique place because there are no big predatory mammals, so you can walk through it without a gun or a guide, and see herds of zebra, gazelle, wildebeest, etc. up close and on foot!

I just collected "Void Wanderer: Galaxy Astray" by @jacque on Objkt for Artober!

I ❀️ this piece for a lot of reasons - one being that it includes a poem! Since I occasionally publish an NFT "Arts & Poetry" journal, that really resonated with me!

If you love the poem below, about 4 ꜩ will get you a copy of your own!

β€’β€’β€’

Amidst the cosmos,
An astral drifter wanders,
Silence his consort.

Planets left behind,
In his helmet, stars reflect,
Dreams of terra firma.

Infinite expanse,
Galactic oceans embrace,
A lone soul's voyage.

Following Jacob's example, my name's Edward,

I'm an American who lives in Australia - married to my best friend of a decade who I asked out while staying an a reindeer farm in Alaska in 2020... she said she'd "have to think about it" - but it all worked out!

I'm retired from the US Marines, now I study, write, foster kittens, and am working to find land to create a small farm modeling a sustainable, scalable approach to agriculture.

My belief is that I'm an extremely privileged and fortunate person, and my work going forward is to use all that to help lift others up. I've served in enough places to know the world is currently a very unfair place - but it is my hope that when I am a very old man, I can around and see that things are better - and I can point to what I did to help make it so.

I think that Web3 and technology has a lot of potential to level the playing field, but it's all about implementation. Here for the long haul, and glad to be on the journey together!
OK... who among my followers is photographer who'd like an invite to the "I Took A Photo" channel to join me in competing for a share of $40K DEGEN?
This frame by @sayangel is still one of my favorite $Ⓜ️ tools - I just used it to gift 5 fan tokens to @bigdegenenergy.eth to show my appreciation for the generosity he displayed with his latest airdrop to his fans...

What's YOUR favorite way to use $MOXIE to encourage or reward folks in our community? Are there any tools you find useful for doing so?
This is a class move by @bigdegenenergy.eth - and yet another reason I'm bullish on HODLing his tokens, and adding more to my portfolio...

What are YOU doing to give your FT holders value for their investment?

I drop mine a day's worth of $DEGEN once a week, gift them additional tokens from time to time, and plan to drop them NFTs...
OK, fellow BE fans... are there any other photographers in the fam?

If so, let me know if you're interested in an invitation to a photo competition that's running over the next 3 days...

I've won a good bit of $DEGEN in previous Rounds - this time I get to invite another person to join me!
This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise! Gotta see what I was doing on the 10th that got so much engagement!
ITAP of the bar at Fossey's on Lygon St... a great gin joint, which is, sadly, closing after tonight. So happy my wife and I decided to catch a comedy show there tonight... it was nice to have a chance to say farewell to one of our favorite little bars with some bad jokes and good laughter!
I just collected "Lovebird's Pale-Headed Rosella" by @deriniti on Objkt for Artober!

I love the colors, and rosellas are my favorite Australian native birds!

What do YOU like best about this one - or Deriniti's art in general?
I drop my daily allowance of $DEGEN to current token holders every Friday as an extra token of my thanks for their support!

Want to get next week's drop?

Pick up a few tokens using this frame!

Already HODL my tokens?

I appreciate the privilege of having food, and a place to eat it which is not under constant threat of destruction.

Touch grass. Tell someone you love them. Work for peace and justice.
Israel is now deliberately attacking UN peacekeepers deployed with UNIFIL.

How long before they kill peacekeepers from one of the fifty countries that are stationed along the 120 kilometer-long "Blue Line" beyond which Israel withdrew* in May 2000?

* After 18 years and tens of thousands of civilian deaths?
This is a prime example of what @balajis.eth has been talking about for a long time: people improving themselves (and earning small sums of crypto) through "proof of workout" πŸ’ͺπŸ™‚ Kudos to @afrochicks for encouraging health in this manner!
There are still two hours left to enter Naomi's current "mini-challenge" - and since it only takes 3 minutes, you've got PLENTY of time!

She's posted a reward of 10,000 $Ⓜ️ (divided equally among those who complete her challenge, see link in 🧡/next Cast) + 2000 in bonus $DEGEN for one lucky ABS-olute legend!

Am I excited to win $Ⓜ️ for working out? Yes!
Do I want YOU to get some, too? Also yes! πŸ’ͺ😁
