gm woke up like this and we've made it to ctg day 4 despite some savage eliminations on team yellow last night. dissidents are being uncovered as we speak, a voted off contestant has bought back in fuelled by revenge, and acne is being treated and covered so anxious erica doesn't pick her skin (still furious that people told me growing up that acne would stop when puberty stopped...liars, just like some folks on team yellow). the one thing i remain confident in is that pear will stick by my side throughout this entire journey because i feed her every day.
i promise myself i will remember to eat more today and not play 8 hours of pinball 🤞
until tonight's update, xoxo 🐥💛🌝🌼⭐️

pov: you’ve survived night 2 of crypto the game. the clouds have just broken to let the sun through after a cold, rainy day. you find the last hard cider in the special garage beverage fridge that’s colder than the house fridge. you crack it open and hear the slight fizz of release. you take the first ice cold sip and sigh, content to have survived, blessed to receive another day on the island
casually missed my 1 year anniversary building @unofficial with @christopher
happy founderversary to me 🥳
roses: finally learning to code alongside a very talented developer after years of wanting to learn, onboarding users to /uno, learning more about how farcaster and blockchain works, getting to experiment a bunch, travelling
thorns: fundraising, travelling
fell and got back up a lot. had many feels and cried a lot. but also laughed a lot, learned a lot, and made many new friends 💖
wouldn't change a think about the past year being a cofounder. here's to the next (and many more to come)!

fellow Quebec resident with a different experience:
I’ve had a family doctor since I was 26, after 3 1/2 years on the waitlist. Whenever I had a serious health issue or needed routine testing done, I went to a public clinic and waited 3-6 hours. The only things I ever spent money on were crutches and travel vaccinations.
When I was earning my highest income in Quebec, I was paying only 1.5% more as an effective tax rate than I would have in California, the state I moved from
~1 year ago, I spent 7 days in a Quebec hospital, received multiple treatments, scans, and procedures, and walked out without paying a single cent. I saw specialists for follow ups and didn’t pay a cent for those either. I spent 6 days in the hospital in Costa Rica immediately before and that cost me $20,000USD (about 3-4x cheaper than uninsured in the US)
(Yes there is 100% room for improvement in the Canadian system but it’s definitely better than a lot)

5yr wait to be assigned a family doctor, then once you are accepted you can book yearly checkups etc. until then you don’t have a family doctor you can call.
broadly I’d characterize it as people 35+ likely have a family doctor they can call for an appointment in 1-2 weeks, people under 35 likely don’t have a family doctor.
there are also same-day “walk-in” clinics but the system is a bit bizarre. basically you need to present yourself in-person at 7am to claim a spot for later in the day (e.g. 3pm) to see a GP. so in practice it’s essentially next day service, which means you will go to the ER for anything somewhat urgent (4-8hr wait time).
specialists are a separate thing so if you need a referral, you need to go through a family doctor and then wait 1-2yr. in practice this means that many people just go to paid clinics for whatever treatments they need.
overall much better than nothing but sometimes worth considering if the service is worth nearly half your income.

happy international women’s day
it’s freaking hard to be a woman in this space. so for today, i’d like to highlight something i’ve heard a lot in web3 and tech in general
men love to tell me about their female idols. but when i ask them why they look up to these women, they only list things that are typically seen as masculine qualities:
> they can hang/keep up with the boys
> they never show emotion or “weakness”
> they never “make a big deal” about things/are not high maintenance
> they never talk about the difficulties women face, they just keep going and never complain
i’d love to see women being celebrated more for being the people they are, not the masculine qualities they possess
ladies, would love to see you drop a line on your favourite thing about yourself that makes you feel like you ❤️🔥
*we all hold masculine and feminine traits within ourselves, but i think we need to celebrate softness and emotion much more often

had such a good time last night 🥰
finally met @zoo and @irinaliakh IRL (even though at first i thought she introduced herself as rita and did not make the connection lol)
met some new faces too! @thumb crushed it with the farcaster/varun m&m's, @gusa is a photographer with a unique approach/philosophy on how she approaches photography, and @jasonmeinzer has some deep knowledge on the music industry and how blockchain tech can empower musicians ✨
also shoutout to @benderreth for a great conversation on a highly controversial topic (capital punishment) - @ted he's gotta be at the next iteration of topics of controversy dinners!

65% semolina flour, 45% grade 00 AP flour, eggs, beets
I did the lazy way of folding farfalle with just a middle pinch and the bows collapsed while boiling - do it the proper way if you want them to hold the bow shape
