## Summary

This newsletter opens with a line from a team brainstorming session, "The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato," which the writer says kept recurring and blocked their writing, and then turns to a roundup of Lens content. The roundup links to artwork, music and projects, including Didop, Mazemari, Guruguruhyena, Darkshadow, Patrician x Eamzfella, SSTM, Sirsu, Rae Isla and Chamaquito's "Leave a voicemail" project. It also includes a Dazed piece on post-real via Pierre Pauze, a guide to creating a club on Orb from Zenshortz, and Benoit's interviews with Latashá and a Man of Crypto.

ArtbyJah's artwork - find it on Lens

I keep trying to write this newsletter and find a topic for my intro, but unfortunately, during one of our team brainstorming sessions, someone wrote:

“The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”

And honestly, I have not been able to get it off my head, causing a major writer’s block.

I start writing about my Catskills work and holiday week and suddenly…. “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”

I listen to Alex Cooper’s insane story on how she got catfished (and then some) in Paris and my thoughts go…. “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”

I try to answer an e-mail, work on strategy, do laundry, make a salad but my mind keeps coming back to “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato”

So I have decided to let “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato” get all of my attention, I have stopped fighting it, and so should you, if you happen to get “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato” phrase to move rent-free to your head.

I did manage to find the good stuff going around Lens this week, though. So enough of “The Lens Network will make web2 apps feel like they are running on a potato” and let’s dig into some content.
