gplewis Name and picture from twetch — not on-chain. The signature is; the profile is not.

being a profitable business will not do for you what you think it will, i would guess. of course it's "the dream", being yourself for a living; it would prove you're loved, right? but it's up to you to love you. no one can help you do that.

perception is byzantine, becoming is byzantine, hope is byzantine

what's wrong with the byzantine? Does anyone get above it? Are you above it? Show me proof of your ascendance, good sir. I want receipts. Show me testimonials on your personal website.

this Twetch is for my friend Jonathan Pritchard | Brain Alchemist 🗿🗽 this only costs $0.02 to post; what does it cost you to read it? What are we digging into when we read new stuff? Don't we have endless brain matter? Yes, our days end, but death is ...

now we're talking 😇🤍🙏🤝💥 thank you, and i have been playing and creating for free for Seven Years (and really more) but I have vomited out many sparkles which are all clickable, readable, listenable...link in bio, always down to meet & "onboard" new 👥

wants Notifications and money; skeptical of "advancing my profile" https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/sep/25/sufjan-stevens-interview-the-ascension i have many things i could quote and point you to. i am more than self-promotion; i am a message; a man;

“One thing must be understood: I have said nothing extraordinary or even surprising. What is extraordinary begins at the moment I stop. But I am no longer able to speak of it.”
— Maurice Blanchot, as quoted in The Invention of Solitude by Paul Auster

why is playing on social media not what people think of as their job? can't we pay people to get to their edge creatively and unfold upon the digital/social world all their nasty murky shadow work and inner conflict? Getting cured of that is essential

“I think we should do very well without politicians. Our leaders should be elected by lot. The people could vote their conscience, and the computers could take care of the rest.”
— W.H. Auden, 1974

i'm interested in peace and competence and dancing

thinking about hourly rate and where the best place to write raw stuff is, considering many people could edit, riff on, publish, promote send...my own private writings isn't necessarily the best place to write

there are better editors of my stuff than me

paying two cents to be seen for my latest crazy thought is pretty cool, almost like the internet is here to draw out all our weirdness so we can each become unprecedented freaks

Coming to make 10 daily mistakes on this platform could be a good workflow. I wonder about writing destinations, my link in bio including Medium, Substack, Tumblr, all works of art. I wish you had the patience to know how beautiful my weird life is.

i like a girl who's squeaky clean; something in young woman wants to be perfect...but the aged ones gave up on perfection and behaving well, and now are queens with a crown of fuck-its donning a robe of "you can't hurt me, because I accept me." both = hot

“Working onsite and being high-touch with hiring managers is exactly what I would like to be doing.”

lol, I thought I wanted to have jobs, and live in corporate America as a beloved name and picture in the constellation of LinkedIn. Did you?

I like this notion of "keep writing until money starts coming in" and every day you stand here and just keep pouring out what's inside you, and it's never as "easy" as "just" doing a "job"; always you're on your haunches leaning forward into fate.

"...for the very being of writing (the meaning of the labor that constitutes it) is to keep the question 'Who is speaking?' from ever being answered."
— Roland Barthes, S/Z

he wrote books called A Lover's Discourse and The Pleasure of the Text.

asking "why don't I just Twetch everything I write intuitively?" Why don't I just load up every text imaginable that I would take time to load and post......yes, see, now we're talking about faith...I really want to know who's behind salvation and safety

if I die before my time, it’ll be from playing too many games at once and failing to keep track of the odds and risks to my actual health, not just the virtual stats of the character I appear to be

Twetch is theoretically a good place for paid practice. I can prove to myself again I don't mind being wrong; in fact, better to just keep going to the end of a statement and see what you're willing to tolerate posting as you. Push identity to the limit.

Why don't I write some sentences and embrace whatever they are? The mystery of 'what to do next' breaks through upon the only suitable grid; there are no mistakes in content creation or reading. You are here and that's enough. I used to expect more.

it would show that what they're doing isn't worth doing, and they don't know what they should be doing, and they don't actually want to know what they should be doing, they just want to keep doing and not being looked at too closely...they want to go home.

what we may be obsessed with is the search for the root cause of our suffering, our detachment or clinging to the dream that we can find the opening and suture it closed...maybe the desire to be 'done' is the thing to cure ~ or the fear that it'll end

maybe what we've lost with iPhones is the freedom to be flawed: they will show you everything 'wrong' that does not sort neatly into a hierarchy or category...and there is endless brokenness in any attention span

so do we just keep posting our darkness?

it's like the iPhone forces a justice that is foreign to man's deep programming
let me see what I might mean...

a man need's two women: a quiet homemaker and a thrilling nymph
(so said the poet Iris Murdoch)

iPhones reveal to you your flaws

totally. FRACTALS LOSING THEIR MINDS TRYING TO BE HUMAN BEINGS. truly a work of art, and every node screaming: pay me! click me! see me!

of course being seen does nothing, being loved does nothing...and "nothing" is all we have. Kafka was right!

faith is resonance between inner voice and the mental model of the whole, the cosmos, the heart, the lattice of the veins inside other people

First who, then what. It's really about an operating cadence, and a recognition and adoption and interlocking with that other person's energy, history, vision, mission and values. The math is essential but also a distraction from honest human relationship.

I have no doubt the money is there when I know who I am, and I am seeing I am someone who is always new every day, ripped open and screaming, a ghost in the machine but also a dark magician, a shaman, a druid of sorts, a necromancer (video game characters)

Thinking about Bitcoin as Gen Z's savings account and social safety net, personal finance for those who see the globe as a squad ~ superior to national currencies and flags, based on fear of punishment by a powerful military. Bitcoin: $ for One Love global

I haven't invested, frankly I invested in my mind and personality, which are now wound up like a spring ready to explode into the global network of attention, fascination, anguish, despair, pleasure, intrigue, awareness, love and loss...poetry & philosophy
