The irony of @RobertKennedyJr, that suffers from Spasmodic Dysphonia which causes vocal cord paralysis, being the one person speaking the loudest for our freedom and democracy. Thank you, Mr. Kennedy! ๐ซก๐บ๐ธโฎ๏ธ
So why today? ๐ค Today marks the 1-year anniversary of my mother's passing ๐ After 4 years of battling cancer, she decided to stop treatment ๐ช๐ป The next month+ was wonderful--she felt good, her mind was sharper, her attitude was again loving ๐ค And then things took a fast turn for the worse ๐ชฆ
Her death wasn't unexpected. My siblings and I were at her side the night she died. It was traumatic to say the least, but it was bittersweet because she was no longer in pain.
Knowing she was going to die did not make it any easier. But I was blessed to have some final moments and conversations with her.
Among other things, she reminded me that life is unpredictable. You can't expect things to always go well--or even close to well--so make sure to take the time to enjoy the good times and yourself, friends, and family.
And shockingly (to those that knew her), she said don't die with a lot of money in the bank. You can't take it with you ... and trust fund kids usually have their own set of liabilities!
She wasn't advocating blowing it all in Vegas on ๐and ๐ฌ๏ธ (I think!) And she said not to be selfish with it either, but use it for enjoyment, good, and helping others.
So that's why today. I've been saving up eth to spread joy today. I love art. You probably love art (or are just really odd to be reading all of this lol) Who doesn't love art? [Fascists but that's a different novel!]
And one of the things I enjoy the most about web3 is connecting with art, artists, and art lovers around the globe. Y'all are a fun, loving, and entertaining bunch. Please don't stop!!
If you made it this far, thank you. I hope this has been freeing. May your wildest dreams come true!! ๐คโค๏ธ๐ค

An update on OpenSea's Creator Royalties policy change and how they affect Manifold Contracts.
Here is a summary on how these changes have affected Manifold Contracts, the state of where things are at now, and what we are providing creators going forward. ๐งต
Iโve made an editions contract via @manifoldxyz, to meet the Opensea royalties deadline, and thought of a fun idea.
An edition of 10 has been minted, which for now has placeholder art, and will only ever be available via art trades or as a gift โจ

Holy hummingbird!!! Yet another jaw dropping @Di_animals legendary animal you could mint. #Di_legendary@igor_3000A has outdone himself with the super-realistic motion of these crystalline animals. No wonder they take so long to render!
I wish everyone to find their place in the nft world in the New Year. There are so many possibilities! I have strong decisions - more doing and less analysing, thinking about action.
