Head of Marketing at Spruce - building the tech stack for decentralized identity 🌲

- i mean those eyes 🥹
- it’s saturday, let’s get after it
- a general poll:
do you accept linkedin connection requests from people you don’t know?
- it was january and i blinked and now it’s june
- baby reindeer show on netflix is occupying all my mental real estate
- have you every noticed how americans only refer to our country as “the US” but everyone else says “America”
“I’m headed back to the US next week”
vs
“I’m traveling to America next week”
- so deep in the flow state tippy-tappy-typing away that i just realized i listened to one song 20x without realizing
happy friday
- everything in vegas is a human psychology experiment where every interaction is designed to get you to spend $$$ gambling
- no windows in casino (remove sense of time to promote gambling all day/night)
- free/cheap drinks on casino floor (alcohol lowers inhibitions, more likely to spend more $$ gambling)
- gym only open 6am-6pm (exercise after 6pm means you’re not gambling)
- 4 nights at 5-star hotel costs only $ 200 (subsidize gambling)
- no coffee maker or kettle in hotel room (must leave room & walk past slot machines to one of the onsite starbucks)
- unforeseen (yet obvious) side effects of working remotely:
- i used to never get sick but my immune system is now trash - i get at least a smol cold after every business trip
- i need to make a conscious effort to exercise / get out of the house each day
- the joy of home after work travel w/ long days&flights and poor hotel sleep 🧘🏼♀️
- ok hear me out
onlyfans but wholesome and just pictures of cute dogs going about their day
- monday morning, feeling frisky 🐶
- ubers to & home from the airport cost more than the flight itself nowadays
$ 180 in ubers (24 min ride each way) for a $ 150 flight
🧐🧐🧐
- if you’re the weirdest one in the room, you’re in the wrong room
- plot twist: all the drake media (and kendrick beef) is a planned pr stunt
- meow
- g(y)m from Brazil 🇧🇷
finding the motivation to exercise while traveling is 10x harder
- every time i think about putting more effort into my tiktok, i remember it may get banned so there’s probably no point 💀
- being called young is personally a compliment and professionally an insult
- going to brazil later this month 🇧🇷
will be solely dependent on Orb for my crypto industry updates (with twitter not twittering in brazil)
- gm to everyone else also not playing crypto the game, my sisters and brothers in fomo
- i like my lattes in bowl size please
- woah @lens/bonsai 🥹🫶
- gm to my burrito and this glorious sunny day
- not me minting from the bathroom of the bar so i don’t miss out on the fun
- I just claimed my $BONSAI reward on @lens/orb!
- give me a cup of coffee and i’m unstoppable
- it feels like something is happening in orb and idk what but i’m here for it
- hi hello what is DUST 👀👀
- orb (lens) = awesome
orb (worldcoin) = terrifying
- some musings on @club/channels
it’s fascinating to me that i have probably zero overlap in following across centralized social media
- twitter (24k, mainly nft/crypto people and startup/tech people)
- tiktok (7k, mainly women interested in fashion/beauty)
- instagram (1k, friends and people i know irl)
i post very different content across these mediums.
the @club/channels feature here could help to solve this interest and demographic segementarion for lens content, rather than unilaterally unifying
- if i won the lottery, there would be signs
📚☕️
- company holidays are by far my most productive work days (no meetings, max focus)
i may be onto something here 🧐
- the pure joy of writing something already completed on my to-do list just to cross it off ✨💅
- web3 ppl are chronically online which means everything moved fast, sooo i always feel like i’m playing catch up
- it takes so much self control to not rage reply when i see things like
“we need X for women”
😬
- cozy king
- polygon fangirl today on the streets of seattle
- The tiktok ban narrative is so bullish for Lens and decentralized social
So many creators make their entire living on tiktok now and lose all the content/following if the ban goes through
- gm to everyone except the person at slack who decided command+K is "search" not "create link"
- gm ☀️
wishing everyone the best day ever
- throwing this request into the metaverse:
lens merch shop using bonsai
all the lens merch i have is by far my favorite (ie tote bags from permissionless 2022) & the cute:quality ratio is unparalleled
- i’m gonna be so real with my 20 followers here that i have zero clue what bonsai is
- daylight savings is ruff for us all
- price goes up yay
but the 4x/week emails about blockfi bankruptcy serves as a constant reminder to stay humble
- spending my weekend internet exploring and poking around new crevices in web3 🏄♀️
- making moves on my 2024 big book energy goals
- a moment of appreciation for the Orb UI not being just a rip off of Twitter UI
- ETHDenver vibes
- hi who is going to ETHDenver wanna hang out 😌
