Looking for insights from the community: anyone had back issues in their lifting journey? How did you deal with them?
Before International Women's Day, a colleague asked a question in a team stand-up that stayed with me

"Who's a woman that inspires you?"

Wrote up some thoughts recently

Recently moved on from @base to a new role

Wrote about how the experience shaped my perspective on marketing

First time making banana bread with proper texture

Only bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, cinnamon, oat flour, chopped walnuts, and dark chocolate

Food photo aesthetics still work in progress :)

Ran today for the first time after months of pause (and a stint of smoking that I thankfully gave up, again)

It was grinding

But good to be back at it

How do you stay on top of content you want to consume across different media (ie podcast, X, Substack etc.)

My pain points:

- if I see something interesting but don’t have time to read it then, I will forget about it (even if I bookmark)
- switching across platforms makes it hard to prioritize the most relevant
Snow, destroyed latte art, and thinking about the impermanence of beautiful things etc

After a year of building together, @talent and @base are making it official.

This strategic investment from the Base Ecosystem Fund, led by @coinbaseventures, is another push to bring more builders onchain!

Thanks @jessepollak @kabir @serrasari @0x-ry and the rest of the Base team for all the support so far!

Stay based, keep building 🫡

Working towards handstands in the middle of the room. It takes 3 things:

1. Strength: doing the drills, getting strong(er) to hold a handstand
2. Knowing how to kick up, how to fall
3. Once 1 & 2 are decent, getting away from the wall. Actually going to the middle of the room

3 is by far the hardest. Negotiating with myself every time 🥲

Burner friends! Unable to make it this year, and selling two tix + vehicle pass. DC if interested. Hoping they will help someone make magical memories ❤️

HBO's Girls is my guilty pleasure these days. Doing some self-reflection on how much I hate Marnie.

Any other watchers? Who's your "favorite" character?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible builders, creators, and daily life heroes who make things happen while raising a human (or multiple)❤️
Write 2x weekly.
Take a deep breath before I respond.
Did anyone finish Infinite Jest (and why)?

One fifth of the way through and it’s such a slog. I started with high hopes after “Brief Interviews with Hideous Men” but it’s not cutting it. Themes I have explored elsewhere, with narrative that doesn’t really flow for me.

What am I missing?
Loving the based, byte-sized wisdom. minted as a daily reminder :)

Just watched Poor Things. Easily one of the most original coming of age stories I’ve seen.

What I liked was the possibility of constant evolution as a human. To see and experience what’s wrong with the world, but to continue being fascinated by it and not losing hope.

Any other fans?
Finished Claudia Pineiro’s “Elena Knows.” It’s among the top three saddest pieces of media I’ve consumed. Hit on a very personal level (ill parent, lack of desire for motherhood).

The writing’s beautiful. The feeling of sadness, hard to shake.

Curious if anyone else read it and what you think.
Belated recap of @efdevconnect
1. Super excited about new onchain use cases for consumer applications / solving real world problems.

2. Fell back in love with my home city: cats, winding cobblestone streets, and solid coffee spots. What else can I ask for? 🐱
Has anyone has seen David Lynch’s Eraserhead, and wdyt?

I’m a big fan of blue velvet, mulholland drive, and the original twin peaks. I attempted eraserhead yesterday, and found it extremely disturbing and inaccessible (even for lynch standards). Stopped after the first half hour.

Should I give it another shot?
Training for my first half marathon. I’ve got about four months. Any advice from experienced runners? Things you wished you knew before you ran your first marathon / half marathon?
GM. Running my first 5K today :)
Looking for my next fiction read. What are books that gave you a new perspective / made you think more deeply about a given topic?

All genres welcome :)
