really struggled to get my butt to the gym this weekend but once I mustered up enough will power to make it out of my apartment I actually had a fantastic workout ๐
successfully pitched onchain social โจ en franรงais โจ at midnight last night over spicy margs
turns out it's really hard to overcomplicate something in a language you don't have a lot of vocabulary in lol

My focus is growing good content on Farcaster. I believe the mix of gym selfies + stream of consciousness casting + occasional flashes of unhinged personality is the killer combo. Starting with IRL native users, expanding to more culturally similar ecosystems, and later abstracted for universal appeal

reframing my partying this summer as "hanging out with non tech people so i can battle test how i explain onchain social and my company"

9 week progress!!
iโve kept gel on them the entire time (except 1 day in between refreshing it every 2 weeks) and just let them grow
+ started doing the gel myself bc I no longer trust salons to remove it without damaging my nails
+ daily cuticle oil
just chopped them down for a little rest period, but 6 more weeks and all the damage will be grown out finally ๐

every human has a finite amount of attention to give every day
a like is a reflex. it has the lowest activation energy past scrolling itself. and yet only 5-20% of social media users like content.
on speculative platforms, every piece of content offers a financial choice, a calculation. potential cost vs potential gain.
a social feed becomes a feed of financial decisions.
energy wanes, attention fractures. how many times a day can you weigh the current market cap and try to predict the future attention on each piece of content you see before deciding to buy or scroll to the next?
there's a reason social behemoths are all built upon a design hyperoptimized to reduce friction
as a ux person, i love experimentation. but what exact hypotheses are we working on here? who are we building for? itโs certainly not the billions of humans effortlessly scrolling instagram and twitter and tossing a like here and there

first off - thank you to everyone who reached out and offered support ๐ it really means a lot
second - panic attacks, night sweats, trouble sleepingโฆthese are just normal parts of living with chronic anxiety, especially for those of us who are neurodivergent. it might seem alarming from the outside, but for many of us, this isnโt a crisis, itโs just part of the cycle weโve learned (or are still learning) to manage
the fact that this cast (about healing from dysregulation) raised so many concerns shows just how misunderstood mental health still is. because the truth is: you can live with anxiety and still show up fully, thrive, and do absolutely incredible things
someone recently told me that people are too open about their mental health these days. i couldnโt disagree more. the reactions to this are a reminder that we're not being too open, we're just not being fully understood yet
i used to have it in my bio and even tho i don't anymore i still fully stand by it - vulnerability is strength

i've been working *a lot* on regulating my nervous system for the past 8 weeks
i was having several panic attacks a day + waking up a ton throughout the night + night sweats + unable to sleep in past 6:30 no matter what time i went to bed
the past two days my body has finally let me sleep in (8:30 and 9!!), which means my cortisol is no longer spiking unnecessarily overnight and my parasympathetic nervous system is starting to retake dominance (rest and digest vs fight or flight mode)
big signal that all my regulation work is finally working ๐ฅณ โจ

i bought 4 chicken breasts on sale for $12 a couple days ago and was so excited and satisfied with myself and the bargain i got. put them in the fridge and went about my life. moisturized. carefree. content.
went to cook them today and noticed they stank, they stank bad.
tried to find the best by date and realized there was none. there was only a small line of text saying "keep frozen. do not thaw and refreeze". i sighed. i threw them in the trash.
another offering of rotten food to the adhd gods.

women/nb dominating the leaderboards on a weekly basis and not a single one chosen by the fc community for a lightning talk at farcon ๐ฅฒ
and yes there were plenty to choose from - 5/6 of my choices for talks were by women/nb folks

i will not answer a question in a quote cast that should be a reply, just reply to my cast so i don't have to follow a million more conversations in different threads it's already hard enough ๐ญ ๐ญ ๐ญ

ladies 30+ what is the best thing you've done for your skin?
from topicals to lasers to injectables to surgical intervention, i'm curious what's been worth it to you!
(besides daily SPF - we can all agree that's the absolutely necessary one)

some things i think folks need to be reminded of occasionally:
> to assume makes an ass out of u and me
> your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part
> being nice, present, and helpful usually gets you through most doors
> those with logs in their eyes are quickest to point out the sticks in others'
> you can act like you deserve to be places, but that doesn't create an obligation for others to invite you
> not everyone will like you, and that's okay
