I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Well, it's the May BPUD today, and after almost forgetting, I powered up another 975.2 BBHO, which brought me past 28.6k staked BBHO. Not bad, and my BBHO stake seems to be growing a bit more quickly once again, after having begun to slow for a time. With a growth rate of almost 2k BP per month, reaching 30k BP will come quite quickly indeed, likely in fewer than 2 months.
I finished going through my Hive notifications a bit earlier last night, so I spent some much-needed time doing asset management on my own account, and on @heartbeatvault01 and @aliveandthriving. Since delving so deeply into building my agentic-AI system, and also the shock from the We Are Alive Tribe losing its primary weekly HIVE income source due to collateral damage from the Hive-Engine hack, I haven't been managing assets as regularly as I usual do, or even up to up to this point.
With the loss of two primary income sources for the We Are Alive Tribe within a period of fewer than two months, the loss of our daily SWAP.HIVE income from the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool due to the ending of the PWR project, and now our weekly HIVE income from our delegation of 20.4k BEE to @bee.voter due to the Hive-Engine hack, I'm still at a bit of a loss for how to rebuild them, as comparable options seem to be dwindling rather quickly.
When our delegation of 20.4k BEE fully recalls within a few days time, @aliveandsocial's BEE Power vote is going to pack quite a punch, which means that everyone getting upvoted by that account (which is in our curation trail) will be receiving quite a bit more BEE from post and comment rewards. It also means that the amount of BEE that comes in from curation rewards will increase substantially on that account, so our BEE, both liquid and staked, will start growing quite a bit more quickly. This is the one positive that comes from the end of the HIVE-for-BEE delegation service; we're going to have a lot more BEE with which to play.
While there aren't many services left which pay HIVE or SWAP.HIVE for the delegation of layer-2 tokens, one that is still operating is the @centtoken project, which accepts delegations in various layer-2 tokens, some through direct delegations, and some through leases. The most interesting, based on the staked tokens that we have available, is the BEE-delegation service, since it offers daily SWAP.HIVE payouts for accepted BEE leases. This might be one option to rebuild our daily SWAP.HIVE income, and using BEE, of which we have a lot, instead of HP, of which we have much less. This could be very useful leverage indeed.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 2:45PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts, and to a few small jungle-community tasks, first, before taking a quick break up at the Flow House, and then going to collect, move, and unload a wheelbarrow full and a half of soil, to better cover the roots of a tree that had fallen over, and had been brought back to an upright position. With that completed, I took a shower, made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to work a bit more work Hermes, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by just after 9PM, and after the above-mentioned much-needed asset management, and working with Hermes some more, I went to bed just after 12AM. I woke up around 4AM, and unable to sleep, I did some research into FOSS mesh-network VPN frameworks, before making another partially-successful attempt at sleep. I woke up again by about 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to power up my BBHO, write and publish my post about it, and finally to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's a marvelous time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's version of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
2026 Life Goals
1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.
2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.
4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!
This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!
If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.
Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!
Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!
Vote for @bradleyarrow's 
Witness Node!
Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
