Creative (sanity) hack:
Write down every idea, regardless of how big it is, wild it is, dumb it is, or unrelated it is to anything you are currently focusing on. Take the time to get the ideas out of your head. Pull on the threads of the idea and allow them to flow until you hit a ceiling. At that point, file them away and return to whatever you were working on.
Can't pursue every idea, but I learned some years ago that ignoring or suppressing ideas when they strike—particularly for creative projects—isn't healthy either. So now I triage by staying focused on what I need to do while making temporary space for inspiration when it arises. Maybe I'll have time to circle back to the idea, maybe not, but at least it is out of my head. Sometimes these *random* ideas even unpredictably make it

List of Businesses on Nostr:
I started this list so I could keep track but since I'm not sure if such a list like this exists anywhere else, I thought others would benefit from it too.
Many of these businesses are actively using #Nostr as a marketplace through which to sell their goods or services.
This is not exhaustive so feel free to add businesses I missed to the comments.
Here's to the early adopters, to seeing these businesses supported, and to seeing the #bitcoin circular economy grow:
@SweetSats
@oshi
@KCCattleCompany
@Golden Tallow
@Mapletrade
@Leathermint
@ltngstore
@Foundation
@Obscura VPN
@IVPN on Nostr
@Kagi
@River
@Salenga Law Firm
@Maple AI
@https://silent.link
Also shout out to @Ben Justman🍷. Peony Lane Wine doesn't have its own Nostr handle but Ben does actively use Nostr to connect with people and sell his wine.
And shout out to Untapped Growth. Not sure if his handle males sense on this list but you should follow him anyway.

It is a common tendency among artists and designers to not handle compliments well. There are many reasons for this, but I think it is most often because we see all the faults in a given piece and are therefore unable to accept that others see something worthy of praise. We are quick to respond to a compliment with reasons why it is actually not as good as the person thinks or by pointing out how the piece falls short of our own artistic standards.
Sometimes we simply mistake downplaying our work as being humble. But this is really a false humility. If I am good at what I do—as compliments from other people can bear witness to—denying it is tantamount to lying.
What's more, we often think of pride as boastfulness, but its less obvious form is self-denigration—or even self-pity. The ironic thing about denying

Optimization and life hacks are fine. But find yourself a few honorable men—in real life—who have healthy marriages, multiple children, stable households, and diligent work ethics, and emulate them.

optimization-focused influencers who spent their careers optimizing are still struggling on the dating scene and can't seem to optimize their way into a long-term relationship
i won't name names but more than a few i've listened to have been noticeably despondent and frustrated in recent years as you watch them grapple with uncertainty about what exactly they have been optimizing towards

The question, however sincere, arises from an erroneous eschatological reading of Revelation. Buying and selling, as well as the larger theme of being marked, is used throughout Revelation in connection with worship (v. 3:18, 5:9–10, 7:3–4, 13:16–17, 18:11–13). The mark of the beast is contrasted by the seal of God on the forehead. There is a lot more here to unpack but ultimately it is all making a spiritual point rather than painting a doomer end times situation.
Everyone who asks the question about bitcoin and the mark of the beast will require the dignity of a tailored response. Like most questions, there is always more behind what the person is asking on the surface. So the theological context above is mostly for you to consider rather than providing that as some sort of stock answer.
