hiii. introducing myself here via a 4-part 🧵. I’m a former professional athlete (cyclocross, iykyk) who believes in the power of dance, poetry, and prison reform. I entered the decentralized world last fall and have been swimming in its deep end ever since.

I started Babe in January—a future-culture newsletter that’s all things web3, crypto, blockchain, AI, art, and fashion. basically every week I make mistakes and learn in public and share it in an irreverent way where maybe we all learn something and hopefully at least one of us laughs.

what I’m looking for on Farcaster: more women and nonbinary people (and kind, not creepy men) to learn from, exchange with, and share in this space; also, creative depth fyi writing is at the center of most everything I do and has been since I was like six. here’s my first book and yes those are my legs.

if you want to subscribe to Babe, I'd LOVE that. it's at babe.beehiiv.com and I think it has real value without taking itself too seriously. I'm genuinely excited to see it grow inside and outside of web3. mostly because I'm v into bringing people in, not shutting them out. thanks for reading and lfg. xoxo

Welcome, and I'm also fascinated with prison reform. Many alternatives that we can heal souls instead of perpetuating cycles of brokenness. In fact, as you know, from reading your what you're passionate about through Babe. We have yet to find the better ways to live in many aspects 🙏 I predict a massive shift is coming for us all, and AI is helping us to introspect what it means to be on this earth.

always love hearing about others interest in and care for prison reform. it’s not ubiquitous, but it lives in the cracks and that’s something. 🖤 thank you for sharing and I love yr perspective on AI and potential shifts. looking forward to following along w you here!

Jordan Charters avatar
Thank you, and I look forward to the same. What has been your experience of exploration with AI and the access to information outside of normal programming?

Winberry avatar
we’re talking personally here, yeah? and just so I know, what is meant by “normal programming?” like: ask me like I’m five 😂

Welcome to Farcaster! When I was an undergrad, a professor asked me to intern on a documentary for PBS that was being made about her work with a women's prison. I went to the prison regularly for a summer, meeting and photographing inmates and hearing their stories. While I don't work in prison reform, the experience touched me deeply. Looking forward to your content here.

thank you, @patriciaxlee.eth ! I love hearing this, and wish more people could experience something similar/adjacent, even if only once. the humanization is so important. how could something like that NOT stay with you? I helped start a creative writing program at a men’s prison, and now volunteer for a restorative justice program, among other things. point being: your experience, mine—however small or big—contributes to us seeing and treating one another as fellow humans instead of intangible others.

thanks! if you have any questions about Farcaster just ask! it's more cozy corners vs shouting to the sky hoping someone reads it. but you're already off to a great start by just being yourself!

Winberry avatar
realizing that as of… rn. ha. and tbh I love the diff. sure it’s fun creating reels on Insta, but it’s more vanity metrics and yes humming into the void. also imo X blows and I don’t want to support Elon. so, I really want to give more to this space. 🖤

Brock The Breadcat avatar
yeah I agree. it's more "ours" here and mini apps can give you a lot of features/games/services to make up for reels etc. A lot to discover. take it slow too much to dive into day one

thank you so much, Frederick! I do have one q rn. not knowing the etiquette: when replying (like now), do you use the @+handle or handle w no @ or the name associated w the handle (like I did here)? 🤷‍♀️

frederick avatar
you did great! generally when I respond, I typically use the user name (frederick), some times the handle (also known as the fname). I don’t use the @ unless I’m calling someone else not in the message thread.
