pear + cheddar cheese = 😻

(also a great food combo when the pear is a pear and not a cat named pear)
last run sucked so much i couldn’t psych myself up for another until today when i literally wanted to chuck my computer out the window bc i can’t solve a coding problem i’ve been stuck on for 2 days 😇

2.5mi in 30min, 4% incline first half

+ banana chocolate chip protein pancakes with greek yogurt and raspberries as post-run fuel
i'm sobbing happy tears in a cafe i'm working in because my best friend just told me she's pregnant with baby #2 and they don't have a name yet and i can suggest some and i am just SO OVERWHELMED WITH JOY
happy monday!!

today is date day, i’m being blessed with a great hair day, and i found the perfect sound to hype myself up

how’s ur monday :)
i saw someone announce that it was 1 year since farcaster went permissionless and i got curious

how much have i earned daily from just being myself here since then?

total earnings from airdrops and rewards: $13,450 USD*
> /degen (83% - bravo y'all)
> /moxie
> warpcast USDC rewards
> airdrops i wouldn't have known about without @daylight

daily earnings over one year: $36.85

this also doesn't include freelance contracts or gigs i got from @bountycaster and just browsing the feed. (and also doesn't include other priceless things like community and starting /unofficial)

i am still conflicted on the idea of socialfi, but i attribute that to a resistance towards having a maxi stance on anything. this is legit life changing money, and i appreciate that this benefit - for me - has occurred primarily in the background of my actual social experience here

tldr; balance is key. subtle socialfi.

*at today's prices - i'm lazy af and haven't sold anything i've gotten :)
i haven't had an in-person convo in french for months and i have a date with a francophone tomorrow

i'm about to struggle bus real hard, watch it be her speaking in french and me responding in english the whole time lol wish me luck

(any native french speakers wanna practice for 20min before tmrw 😇)
that feeling of relief when you’re sick af and you neti pot first thing in the morning 😌
week 7 in /the-arena 🚢

this week for /uno we shipped:

✨ add channels to your stories ✨

this feature is proving to be an interesting space to design within - as channel membership is available through an api (i.e. not in place at the protocol level) other clients can choose to implement channels as they wish

channels in Uno v0 function the following way today:
> search through all channels on the protocol
> see which channels you are a member of on warpcast
> add *any channel* to your story - public or private
> the channel id appears in the Uno UI regardless of whether or not that user is a member of said channel on warpcast

Uno is prioritizing the discovery of people, so our current approach to channels - further context for casts - allows us to focus on enhancing user discovery and our own un(o)ique approach to communities onchain

but as always, we're open to feedback :)

see you next week 🌈

itap of this Italian cafe that was full of ladies, young and old, gesticulating all to varying degrees
internet archive has been fending off ddos attacks for the last 3 days and has had to suspend service for most of that time

every announcement they post is just filled with replies from people thanking them for what they're doing and saying take their time, good luck

faith in humanity increased 💖
okay in true erica fashion i have curated my material desires into 4 categories:

1. make my home a smart home
2. build my own propagation station with cute little jars and some nice sticks
3. vintage vests (or waistcoats), especially ones with fringe
4. beef up my wfh setup with either an under desk treadmill, 360 swivel balance board, or mini trampoline

new favourite sweet treat:

heavily spiced chai tea with swedish fish

it's like hot tamales candies but ✨gourmet✨ and fall weather appropriate

hello farcaster friends

i'm working on improving my sql and i thought it would be fun to practice with real data and answer real questions about the network we're all on

so, if you've ever wondered something about the farcaster network and the data on it - shoot

examples of questions that i can answer with a sql query:
> what's the daily avg # of casts?
> what % of casts are just text?
> who has been the most mentioned user this week?

(will answer as many as i can over the next couple of days!)
i'm in a buy buy buy spend spend spend mood

stop me :)

we’re having coffee next week to chat about witchy stuff omg I’m so excited for this new friendship!!!
my first design internship (and eventual job) was at hopper right after they had raised

they had a bunch of these 360° swivel balance boards that i was obsessed with

they’re $320 each wtf

why

why are you so expensive

it’s like as much as an under desk treadmill jfc

joel spits some life wisdom tho:

“there’s no rules as long as you just keep moving”
I matched with a woman on hinge who has not just one but TWO borzois and I kinda lost my cool when she informed me of the existence of said two borzois have I ruined my chances 🥲

like look at these dogs tho

✅ long snout primed for booping
✅ majestic but derp-capable
✅ speaks in riddles
