The formerly twtxt feed is now taken wholly from Nostr - specifically my relay at nostr.thurk.org. I've yet to implement search. I must decide if I want to use a cached version or just fetch the feed anew each time. For a keyword search, this appears to be the only way. For timestamp ranges, filters as described in NIP01 could be used. If I tagged each post in some custom way, Nostr tags could also be used. It's something to ponder.

Can I fetch and parse this nostr feed from my Elixir "app"? I suspect so, but testing is a good thing.

It's possible and most likely common to despise humanity as a whole but hold in high esteem 'being human'.

The bookends to The Fen like gardens of solace and what goes inbetween the journey from one to the other.

And isn't music just what some bloke or another thought sounded good at one point then handed off to another and another and the most popular survived como survival of the fittist? I think it has something to do with it. We are the stray branches, the weed spouts that have ansia for something tangible but are cut from the 'trunk'.

What about the other side of the monster? Yes, in a Grendel sense, but on a less violent scale. The father who abandons the pregnant teen because he knows his life would be destroyed afterwards. Etc.

Humans generalize normality to their own bubbles and then question others' perception of normality. Thus begins conflict.

I had a strange, involved dream about Andrew. I don't recall the details, but it seemed to be a hybrid of time spent with him, mine and James's current project and the novel I'm reading.

Relationships are too fragie. People are too egoistic and stubborn to compromise. I cannot do it nor can she. The end is in sight once again

The problem with Scandinavian teenagers is the death they haven't experienced yet.

In Black mirror, Selma Hayek replaces God as the creature to 'debase' in a ranking of classes. Mere grunt who watches 'tv personalities', tv personalities themselves, and God
