The Cool King and His Ditto Crew

In my first pet story, I didn’t properly introduce myself. My name is Slimeball. I am a Pet Detective and your narrator. Unlike most pets, I have no cat master, meaning I can do and go as I please. This seems to make some cats nervous, as so few pets are under their own agency. I am not sure why no cat claimed me as an egg, but the more I learn, the happier I am about it, even if it is lonely sometimes.

The female online experience is a complicated one. That’s not to say the male and trans experiences aren’t complicated, but I think people should speak from their own backgrounds, and I am a woman, so that is what influences my perspective.

I often tell people I am an introvert and don’t think they believe me. I don’t mind a party, and I am well versed at the mingle, but I am far happier in the quiet moments between 2 people. The ability to speak, engage and interact without an audience. That’s what I hope for from my interviews. Understanding, connection, respect. That’s why I am grateful for the conversation with a web3 woman identified as ‘B’.

I called out for women! I said, “I am here. Can you see me?” I received a few waves from quiet voices, and I heard loud words from men, “There are women here, but they wish to remain anonymous. Surely you can understand.” and I could.

This is Tactical (A.K.A Tac). He is a clever and patient cat. Tac is a great asset to the Cooltpian Meowrines, and like the rest of Blue Cat nation, Tac was shocked by the arrival of the eggs. Tac’s training made him cautious, but once it became clear that the eggs and emerging pets meant no harm, Tac took to the role of pet commander.
For the Culture with Stubby
December 2nd, 2022
There is a rhythm to crypto life. We have to groove along to the highs and the lows. Riding in harmony is challenging, and one way to coast through is by embracing the culture. There is a whacky madness to web3, and the pace of life is unparalleled by any subculture I have experienced. That’s why it was nice to slow down a bit and savour the space with girl dad, Cool Cat mod and St. Louisan, @stubbythereum.
Proof of Pi

In a landscape where everything seems automated, simulated, augmented, glitched, or ai generated, how will we users be able to identify any humanity in a sea of robots? We’ve all seen a tweet or a discord server become overrun with bot replies, like ants ruining a picnic. We know there are folks with 30+ profiles to game whitelist mechanics or, worse, scam people. Mr Musk can tell you how difficult it is to determine which profiles are and are not bot operated. Yes, it is wise these days to trust no one and nothing until we have done our due diligence and formed our own conclusions.
In Process with Strange Cintia
June 9th, 2022
I, JL Maxcy, am the type of person to leave early for every appointment. I like to take my sweet time travelling in, have the right music and not worry if there is a delay. I feel comfortable knowing I have time. Furthermore, I never want to arrive at any destination hurried and stressed from the anxiety rushing brings me. I prefer to make life as carefree as possible; this includes my creative process.
A Portrait of an Artist: Robek World
May 19th, 2022
I started this interview with Robek World (aka RWX), thinking we would chat and promote their latest project called RWX Quest. After discussing it a bit, it became clear to me that there isn’t much more info I could share about the quests that doesn’t already exist in the world. Robek has already written a couple of blogs about it.
