~ 1 ~ Listen To Me By the Sea - On D.Tube
I've been a bit reclusive, yet I still want to vlog. I know, it is hard to believe I'm not sticking my face in the lens because you all know I'm prone to being a professional selfie whore ham.
So begins a new series called #ListenToMe, where I talk about whatever comes alive in me, and show you what I am seeing whilst I ramble.
I guess #listentome will carry on indefinitely, always waiting for me on my camera shy days, or months, where I still want to talk at y'all but don't feel hammy.
In today's video you're gonna find out:
- What I think about holidays
- Why I believe blockchain/crypto is part how we transition to a gift economy/RBE
- What I think about other people's spiritual beliefs/religions
- Some random musings
- #Fuckyoutube. Use fuckyoutube to advertise the greatness of the #Steem blockchain, and the fact that a video uploading social media alternative exists called: #DTube
▶️ DTube
▶️ IPFS
This is a great idea :)
I want to listen, but for some reason it’s not loading up for me.. it’s probably my internet, it tends to fudge up this early in the morning, haha I’ll try again tomorrow.
Long time, no talk.
Hope all is well:)
Hey Lukin! Long time no see, damn I miss you bro!
Here's the vid on #fuckyou tube:
Missed you too!
haha Thank you :)
#fuckyoutube - they demonitized me not because I broke any rules, but because I wasn't popular enough. I first became monetized years before and met those qualifications, but now they made it so that only very popular channels get paid. They though small channels were liable to be not legitimate. What? Big channels are often professional productions. Remember when youtube used to be people hanging out with their webcam and not professional TV grade? That's DTube now. Get in and hang with the real people. <3
I totally just blocked all my family members on Facebook. Not just not friends - straight up blocked, so they can't even find me there. My family and I - well, the relationship is strained. They don't like me. They never have, even when I was a little kid. So ...nope, online is where my friends are. Not the haters. <3
I am so proud of you for setting those boundaries with your family. I have a feeling that you will be feeling much better soon!!! Once their energy leaves your fb life (it will stay imprinted for a while) you will feel so much space, ease, peace...breathing room. It will make you stronger. More resiliant to their games and bullshit. The way they try to belittle and drag you down. They don't deserve you Phe!!!! You are a rare special gem, and they would love to continue to dull your shine. thank you for saying
No MORE!
Oh, sorry! I didn't mean "just" as in "just now," I meant it like, "I just did this instead." I blocked them within the first year of my being on Facebook. LOL. I know lots of people who do it the way you do. Especially in the Pagan and LGBTQ communities, because their families aren't accepting of either. Yeah, I'm not maintaining two different profiles. ;)
They know I'm Pagan - my father even once specifically tried to cause family controversy by in front of my sweet, but very Catholic grandmother - she was one of the ONLY family members who I think genuinely loved me, ever - declaring "You don't even believe in God!!!" because I had given her a gift that she would enjoy (not a gift that I would enjoy, because the gift was for her - it was a religious gift). Luckily she was three quarters deaf by that point and she didn't hear him without adjusting her hearing aids, and my entire family of Catholics (besides my brother and myself), shushed my father real quick and practically hit him for trying to upset Grandma. That's the kind of family I come from. Ironically, my father only believes in God when he is terrified of consequences or some such, so it's not like HE was all devout and upset; he just wanted to make trouble. He gets nasty mean when he's drunk.
My goodness Phe, you NEED to write more books! <3 <3 <3 Such an interesting (and at times terrifying) life, and you're so good at describing it.
LOL! Thank you. I'm trying! :)

WTF...you shouldn't use the fuckin, 'fuck' word so much...fuckin people get mad at you for it and have a fuckin fit...I never fuckin use it anymore in any of my posts or comments.
#Fuckyoutube sounds like a great idea to me!
Nice format!
Was thinking, coincidentally, of bringing some chatter into my Novacadian's Nova Scotia Biking Tours Vids as well.
That would actually be pretty awesome!
A beautiful area you live in, you are blessed. I dream of returning to something similar one day. Away from the concrete and people stacked atop one another.
I was listening to you talk about the things missing in the current form of living and in the tribal one as well. Talking of how the block chain will create something new, as I hear many say. I wish I could see it and not be so pessimistic (realistic?). From my vantage I see:
We use a computer that I have read has back doors in both the hardware and softwares.
Using this tool with exploits, we access a connection (internet) that is solely in their control.
And when all else fails, they can simply send men with guns and take what they want.
I wish I could see where those three truths were not fact, but I can't no matter how hard I look. I have come to dislike much of technology, seeing it enslave myself, my brothers and sisters in ways that were the stuff of science fiction when I was a child. They know everything we do, everything we like and we have invited them to know with the technologies that surround us everywhere we go.
And to end on a more positive note, did I mention what a beautiful area that is in the video? I grew up with nature and it is a blessing. :)
Sure, I understand your pessimism, however you are missing one very important variable in the equation...
The Nobility and Power of the Human Spirit.
Together, we are capable of miraculous achievements when the pressure gets put on.
Blockchain isn't the only answer. We need to start making real life connections in our communities now. Get to know our neighbours. Start planting some seeds, haha, the real kind. Network. Find out who has what. Organize. Form a militia.
These are some steps that can help us be prepared for when the
financial collapse/men with gunspressure comes.♥️ you lynds. The transition is gonna be rough, but you're right. It's already begun. Knowing it's happening doesn't make it any less painful. The world is a crazy screwed up place, the masses are close to waking up. I'm glad to have friends that understand all this and talk about it!
I'm so glad to have all you woke friends too, my world was so lonely and confusing without y'all...
