This beautiful 12-minute film, directed by @JonLowenstein, is a stirring, intimate portrait of a Guatemalan family as they make the agonizing decision to send their oldest son, Norvin, to the U.S. in hopes that he can pull the rest of the family out of poverty back home. Watch ⤵️
With immigration and border security looming large in U.S. politics and culture, New Lines, in a video collaboration with @noorimages, documents one Guatemalan family's bid to find a better life in the north. 🎥: ow.ly/STyc50QwRoV

Gas is at 32 gwei right now, which is a good price given what it's been this past week. So if you are thinking of burn/minting a COF Edition #3, then this is a good window to do it in! app.manifold.xyz/br/circle-o…

I built this over a year ago, but I thought given all the craziness on Twitter, I'd throw it out there and see if people might like it. It's a social network built specifically for NFTs. I removed the invite restriction, so anybody can try it out! 😁 gmgn.community/

If you are interested in the future of @SuperRare, definitely read this thread. As an active SR Space operator, this makes me very bullish for the future of SR.💪💎
1/ SUPER excited to share a proposal outlining the next step in @SuperRare's path to decentralized control. How do new artists get on to SuperRare in a decentralized fashion? How do we evolve to a more equitable, transparent system? We're tackling these questions head on 🧵👇
