I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1572 - X Is The Worldwide Town Square, and The Best Source for Real News and Tech Developments - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, November 7, 2026

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 8 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I first started using Twitter in any notable fashion back around 2017, so I've had the opportunity to see how it's changed under Elon Musk's leadership over the past several years under its X moniker, and I've got to say that I'm deeply impressed. X has basically become the worldwide town square, where information is shared at a dizzying rate, and as such, it's also become the absolute best source of actually-real news, and cutting-edge tech developments, among others.

On the list of most-used websites/platforms, X is squarely in the top ten, with it continuing to rise in the ranking, and I'd say that's for a very good reason. Aside from people being able to access valid news and information outside of the 'mainstream' echo chamber, which is pivotally important in this time of such intense information warfare, it's also the best place to share and discover revolutionary tech developments. X is where I first heard about both Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux (among several other amazing software projects and innovations), two blindingly-brilliant open-source, community-driven projects, which have become an essential part of my daily flow.

I'm generally not very interested in web2 platforms, but I definitely do dig X, because it's so incredibly useful to me, and for multiple reasons. When I have a free moment, I'll often spend it giving a quick scan to my X feed, though in short sessions, so it doesn't swallow my time, which it can do easily.

The Hermes Agent and Omarchy Linux dev teams and communities are very active on X every day, as is the AI and agentic-AI community, so it's perfect for staying up to date with the extremely-rapid rate of development in both of these exceptional projects, and with the larger open-source, open-weight, community-driven software and agentic-AI spaces. Most of the super-cool shiznit that I've been doing on my computer over the past year have come from discoveries that I made on X. That says a lot indeed.

X is also often the place where Hermes and Omarchy community members (and their work) are discovered, and become part of the dev teams. I've seen this happen multiple times already. That's how close the community using these frameworks is to those who are building and developing them, which is pretty freaking sweet.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 2PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first. Once I had that completed, I walked over to my friend Lea's property, to help her with hardening her property line against invasion by wild pigs, and after cleaning up, to share dinner with her. I left her place a bit after 6:45PM, arriving back at GaiaYoga by about 7PM, stopping by Wabisabi to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge, then heading back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by a bit after 9:30PM, and after another round of work with Hermes, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed by about 12AM. I woke up around 7:30AM, still feeling that I needed a bit more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to write this post, and to work a bit more with Hermes. It's now just after 2:15PM, so it's a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my more-numerous important Sunday 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 iteration 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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
