Seeing my genesis artifact on @rodeodotclub minted 7.24.24 being the first & one of only things @riotgoools / @elle collected made me smile with happiness & immediately tear up in sadness thinking about how all my favorite artists, chose peace & left or have remained & haven’t known peace since spring of 24 V.I.P. 🫂

(◕‿◕)♡ every time i think about writing about all the things that let me down the past few years, i kind of shut down. i don't particularly want to call out ppl/projects bc i know lots of good ppl who still work on those projects. they just went in a direction i could no longer follow and maybe that's more of a me thing anyways. better to just pursue peace if/where u can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I understand. I feel the same way. If I was able to completely disconnect. I would have done so back in May. Since I’ve muted, unfollowed, but exposure still is forced onto my feed. Also feel the same about good people on teams going in not so great directions. My empathy is over tuned, so this all reminds me of passionate video game devs who have no say so, but still get attached to decisions of micro transactions. I make sure to just be transparently objective. Share honest feedback as a power user. Equal love & critical. It’s important in a new industry that’s also a bubble hugbox to be vocal w/o an agenda. This sector has just become very bad at PR & community. Can’t handle critical feedback. but it’s not just this industry, healthcare, gaming, policy, social, etc. weird times I can’t avoid being exposed to unless I’m allowed to fully unplug. Which I can’t. <3

yeah other ppl have their own reasons to go one way or another. i also have to accept that other ppl are doing things/going in directions that don't align with what i want to do. i may not agree with it but it's not up to me to decide where they want to go. all i can do is control my own path so i just try to make sure i'm on the one i want to be on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I agree whole heartedly for humans in general. I wouldn’t fit provided honest feedback to services or products you use into the same mantra tho, at least not for me. It’s difficult because a lot of people online make the honest part less effective between the influx of trolls & cancel culture & algos basically rewarded negativity, I’m sure it does make it not as simple to tell when people are provided feedback without malice. Most things / companies like Spotify, etc. are too big to make any positive change through feedback, this space particularly isn’t that large. Despite the “numbers” platform like to flex in marketing. For those who have been super active since their beginnings and remain active as artists/collectors, that’s easily verifiable which is the upside & unique aspect of this tech. I’ll add the most important part in the next reply
