Good video explains how individualist freedom is temporary freedom, to really be free we all have to get free together

Ayesha couldn’t go to school because of her condition. her body didn’t have the strength to stay steady, and she would get dizzy and fall very quickly.
for 10 years, wherever i went, i carried her with me. she didn’t grow up resting on her mother’s chest as much as she grew up close to mine.
on may 31, 2022, at Benazir Bhutto Hospital in Rawalpindi, around 5:00 in the morning, her last words were “Allah, baba, and water.”
she isn’t here today, but these few memories are still with me. i look at them, i cry, and somehow i also try to comfort my heart.

i don’t think understanding it changes anything now, but i guess i finally understand what happened.
my daughter had TOF. because of that, oxygen wasn’t mixing into her blood the way it should, and her o₂ saturation would often stay around 45%. her little body was already under so much stress, and over time, that low oxygen started affecting her major organs.
on the death certificate, the immediate cause of death was written as cardiopulmonary arrest. under the primary cause, they wrote septic shock and UTI. and under the secondary cause, they wrote TOF.
maybe the bacteria never showed up in the blood culture because she was already on antibiotics nonstop. to confirm it, they would’ve had to stop the antibiotics for a few hours, but with her condition, that wasn’t a risk anyone could take.
i kept thinking about it all night.
then morning came.
sometimes answers don’t bring peace. they just help you understand the pain a little better.

👀 "TDF [Traditional Dream Factory] uses a simple access token: 1 $TDF equals one night's stay per year, forever. Tokens grant use rights and governance participation, never ownership. Two further tokens, $Presence and $Sweat, are soulbound and decaying. They trace time spent on the land and work contributed. In practice, that means they can't be bought or sold, and they fade over time, so governance weight goes to the people who are actively present and contributing, not the people holding the most capital.
The total supply is fixed at 18,600 tokens. Citizenship in the DAO requires holding at least 30. Over 300 token holders across 25+ countries have contributed more than €1.5M to date."

infrastructure has been downloaded into the household and renamed personal responsibility.
