So cool to see people reference the videos I’ve made in their every day lives!! Thanks @ezincrypto for sharing a story about insect collection boxes and how that’s a little local indicator of insect decline :3

Anyone else record a 22 minute video after lying in bed for days thinking about how we’re messing up our planet? Just me? I’m choosing *not* to post this on Farcaster because it’s too depressing. You can comment if you want the link, but it’s on the dangers of ocean acidification that aren’t discussed.Beware

My grandmother is my biggest fan on social media. No one else comes even close. She rewatches all my original music tiktoks over and over to this day, literally years later. Sometimes, like now, she comments again, letting me know how much she loves them. She always tells me to make more music. I love you Neena❤️

I love how anticlimactic it is that this is technically the first song I’ve ever released after almost 4 years of doing my songwriting and music production. thanks to @tortoise-on-fc it was quite easy I will admit. And perhaps now it will be in the void, and perhaps y’all will like it, and that’s cool

Japan’s planning to do deep sea mining for rare earth minerals by 2026 that will power technology, but the impacts on the environment are unknown and it could spread heavy metals and destroy habitats. Here’s a video I made and on how you can help stop it if you want. https://youtu.be/8o7X10IfpQo?si=cPYOTCKsgaZ8TIi9

I did an internship at NASA Langley Research Center. I implemented a digital signal processing algorithm in VHDL to get more precise measurements out of their new vibrating beam accelerometers. Mentor said I was “1st in the world” to do so.Enjoy https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XbCJPL4wPuWWDiZaSanvZf0yxHmX9vJa/view

Out of curiosity, what’s the tech stack for coding mini-apps? Like, where do you start? Frankly, I rarely use mini-apps, and I’m an bad programmer despite having done it in internships. Although it is fun, I’ve given up on it as a career, especially with AI, but I’ll write about that in another post lol.

PSA, after hiking, do your tick checks thoroughly everyone!! The hospital informed me I have a tickborne illness now, which explains why I’ve been bedridden the past few days lol. I caught it early, so two weeks of antibiotics should eradicate the disease, but the doctor said it might be rough. TickSafetyLinks⬇️

Can someone with @base.base.eth help me out?

I downsized to be under 100MB, using .MOV, on iphone, full bars 5G, reset app and tried again, nada. Over 1 min

today is a great day to post and get paid It’s *also* a great day to explain to me how a post’s market cap works. @jabo5779 graciously explained to me that you can buy and trade the post’s coin, but why does the market cap change? What determines it? Tysm.
