Request manual verification instead of facial recognition scanners at the airport.

Even if only to practice opting out of systems that would have you believe there is no other way.

As many of my crypto friends from the West converge on Asia for an exciting couple months of crypto events.

I thought it apt to share one of my learnings from an extended stay in the region last year 👇🏿

“Leave your shoes by the door.”

I’ll never forget being on a rooftop in Seoul, South Korea, and spotting a guy at the function wearing merch from a DAO I helped launch years beforehand.

Later, I learned he would not be in Seoul if my DAO members hadn’t onboarded him into crypto.

Impact proliferates.

May all your arrows find their mark

Upon instruction I’ve picked up the bow again as a martial and spiritual discipline.

I’ll share more on the connection between the two soon.

But do any of you engage in martial disciplines that are connected to your spiritual practice?

Last year I was in Australia when a wall caught my eye.

This year I was walking in Colombia when a rooftop caught my eye.

I believe all of these pieces are authentic pieces of art by @KeithHaringArt

Serving as a reminder to me, of how widespread and impactful the power of art can be.

Lesson #1 of building in public:

Shorten the feedback loop by working through the problem collaboratively.

Thanks to all of you who gave feedback yesterday and helped me get my graphic to this iteration.

Here’s my next one and a little bit about why I’m building The Tapestry 🧵 this #onchainsummer
Here goes.

This onchain summer I’m building in public.
I’m leveraging the /buildspace structure to begin shipping my cultural preservation project.

The hardest thing about summarizing my project below was communicating the vision without using jargon and buzzwords.

1st iteration 👇🏿

What do you think?
Pleasantly surprised by the Build Space approach.

No groupchats.

No networking calls.

Just heads down building.

Realest framework I’ve come across to build something and ship it for real.

Looking forward to showing you what I build this #onchainsummer
My best poetry is conceived late at night.
you will be someone’s ancestor

act accordingly
A special poem recitation by me.
Thanks to Web3 I was able to go back to Sierra Leone and discover this poem by my great grandfather.

🕋

And now you can hear me sing it.
It’s almost time.

My first contribution to OᑎᑕᕼᗩIᑎ ᔑᑌᗰᗰEᖇ is nigh.

Powered by @nouns-dao x @artistprogram this project involves CC0 art, impact, and a poem.

Cast a 🎣 in the replies if you’re excited to see the final results.
I’m in.

Excited to build in public for onchain summer in good company.

Word to @bigtrav205 another based builder I know is participating.

Any other builders participating in this /build space season?

You might be surprised at how much more receptive people can be to feedback and advice when it’s given in private vs a public forum.

In this page of posturing on social media, it is worth interrogating our intentions and sincerity if we do more of the latter than the former.
Some of my favorite arcs are the ones I find in houses of worship.

Ran into auntie QB the honorable daughter of Malcolm X at Jerusalem Coffee House in Oakland.

It had been more than a year since I last saw her and I had no idea she was on this side of the country.

Loved being able to reconnect and share a bit about Web3 and The Tapestry 🧵
If you don’t see online/onchain activity from me, chances are I’m on the ground doing work that will make it to the virtual realm eventually.
Just got home.

My recent journey took me to West Africa and South America.

Now it is my birthday month and the beginning of onchain summer.

Excited to ship my first based project.

Stay tuned 🏃🏿‍♂️💨
My piece [Letter To Sudan 🕊️] has been curated to show at The Hague this month as part of “Noncompliance” a
a protest art exhibit in solidarity with the Hong Kong 47.

“we are none of us free
till you are
and a seat at a table
pales in importance
