All is lost yet all is found,
The beginning and the end sit together
In silent embrace,
As I blossom of eternal life and death,
Accepting to be complete
Is to be all and nothing simultaneously.
🚨 OPEN CALL 🚨
Gm! Are you an artist looking to showcase your work at an IRL event in Toronto?
@NFTgoat_art
and
@maheenblues
are accepting submissions for Innovation Junction (and I’m one of the curators 😎).
You can find all the details about the theme on the poster. Make…

Still my favorite piece of cinema.
The true irony is that it took the best silent actor in cinema history to give best speech in cinema history.
Each day when I open my journal to write, it reminds me of how many days I've been alive.
Today is day 17171 of my life.
This daily reminder grounds me, and reminds me to make each day count because when you stop and think about it, we don't really get that many of them.
Thank you for all of the amazing birthday wishes, fam!
The notifications melted my phone 🫠, and your words melted my heart.
I'm going to be offline for a few hours to handle some work, but I'll be back later and thank you all personally.
Really love you all! 🤍🫂
If it wasn't clear before, this is my why. I'll write more later, but my mission is to support Iranian artists and the community that supports them (incl. non-Iranians). They're in the streets of Tehran tonight protesting for their freedom. I 🙏 for their safety and success.
Hi all. I've been getting a lot of messages asking if everything was ok, so I just wanted to send a quick note. Last week I traveled to be with my mom who was in the hospital. I am grateful that I was able to be with her as she passed away peacefully last night. I will be less…
Feel free to tag yourself and your art/story in the below thread if you have art on exhibition at NFT NYC.
@firoozeh_solati
I believe you do, but I’m believe there are many others. Little by little we need to keep removing the stigma of NFTs and show why it matters.
I just bought my first art piece on $sol. 🥳
I wasn't looking to buy any art, but I came across
@Mireyita_art
's profile on
@exchgART
and was instantly drawn to her 1/1 named "Harmony in chaos: Dual Vision".
FYI, I deleted the other posts that were filled with negativity. Just like I get to choose which art I buy, I also get to choose what I allow in my timeline.
If you have questions about why I select which art just ask me directly. I have a specific reason for each piece.
Just a quick thank you to
@maheenblues
and
@NFTgoat_art
for allowing me to participate as a curator in the Innovation Junction exhibit in Toronto. It was an honor.
I wish I could be there personally, as I know it will be an amazing experience with a great group of people. Next…

Personal growth can be like solving a Rubik's Cube.
Sometimes you can't improve one side of your life without temporarily destroying another side that seemed perfectly fine from the outside, but was actually the thing that was holding you back.
I came across this article and wanted to share a few quotes, especially for my friends who may be struggling with anger, fear, or anxiety today...
We cannot control our circumstances, but we can control our response to them. 💙🫂
I retweeted this earlier, but it deserves it again.
I am reminded daily in this community just how important it is to be kind and light each other up. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
People all over Tehran are chanting slogans against the Islamic Republic and its dictator Ali Khamenei. Also, highways and main roads are blocked by the protesters. The revolution of

Every year or so I go back to this speech from Steve Jobs.

Truly love this photo, Erf! The colors and the action were captured beautifully.

@SVosughian
Since the first time we started talking about this piece almost a week ago, it has been on my mind and I couldn’t shake it.
The level of thought and detail you put into your work, down to the tears spelling out zan, zendegi, azadi - it just blows my mind.
Amazing, Shima joon.…
I realize that I haven’t always done a good job of expressing what my goals are in the NFT space.
@zeenarh9
asked a great question. There’s more I want to say on this, but that’ll come in time as I work through ideas on ways to help that go beyond just being a collector. 🫶🫂

@Elmira_moohel
Great question. No, I have connected with and supported a number of artists that are not Iranian.
I love art. It’s how we connect as humans and share our stories. How we rebel against oppression, and how we heal.
I do try to bring as much awareness as possible to the Iranian…

In response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today.
The main reason why you should never use Twitter Circles to talk behind someone's back is because it's not good to talk behind someone's back.
The second reason is because those private Twitter Circles may not be so private after all. (see article)

That picture is very interesting, and this picture (👇) is even more interesting, that is exactly what happens when an auction starts for your work.
"Identity, Stolen"
In Tehran's station, frames unfold in haze,
Women wrapped in veils of stern decree,
A video of life in stuttered maze,
A sea of souls with masked identity.
An eerie hum pervades this spectral place,
The train it screeches, raw like twisted steel.

Thank you, friend. Was great to see so many talented artists in one place. I wish I could buy all of it!
I'm going to be offline to spend some time with the family today, but wanted to say thank you for your support to the community. 🙏🏼🤍
Nike’s mission statement is “to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world”
Nike founder Bill Bowerman then said: “If you have a body, you are an athlete”
I’ve always loved that statement.

We've all been there: You're firing on all cylinders—inspired and motivated. Then, suddenly, you aren't. Things become very, very difficult.
You're in a rut.

The Islamic Regime can afford cameras to monitor women not wearing hijabs while the Iranian economy is in shambles and their people can barely survive. WTF 😡
2/ On Saturday, Tehran announced it will install cameras in public places to identify women caught without them and will receive text messages warning them of potential consequences.
