The biggest upper for me is a platform of relative permanence with different social values, giving people with something real to say a special place to become relatively immortal. LOL. And a core of very cool people pushing at the edges of paradigm shift. The biggest downers for me? steemchasers!! Urgh. People who chase steem like bubbles at a kids party and post any amount of drivel just for an upvote... includes 573 actifit "posts" in my feed yesterday, lots of competitions and just so much noisy drum banging. If we have great content, it WILL find its level - always grateful to @kenistyles for implanting that thought deep into my brain. Keeping my circle tighter, using my time to post well within my agenda & my values, and enjoying the moments. Happy Steem Birthday. Haha...I think my steem birthday came and went unnoticed. :)

Ha, I was looking out for my birthday so I had an excuse to write a post and connect with people - I've not been thinking about writing much lately! I'm not that keen on actifit unless it tells a story... I tend to just scroll past them. I do think there's something for everyone here - not everyone can post amazing content, but I do think there is room for 'ulog' style posts. I don't like the masquerades - i.e pretending they're a great post when they aren't, plagiarism and so forth, but I think the environment here has changed from it's initial 'get paid for great content' to 'let's all interact and upvote what you like' which is fine by me really. I'll just scroll past the shitposts. Love your posts - you are consistently good at what you do and I'll never scroll past yours!!
Sorry I missed the basil challenge.... am on my way to the Burmese border for biz today-tomorrow & just couldnt get there... slept thru my 3am "must post" alarm & here we are. Grateful for partiko, strangely, which is really helping me to comment & upvote more.
