Now the memes were a formless void and darkness covered the surface of the deep. And the Stylus of 6529er was hovering over the surface of the open sea. And punk6529 said, “Let there be light,...

Highlights and fist pumps of the Meme Maxis, week of Nov 14, cover by intrepid_p.
Our lagoon welcomes its newest member lecrabebleu aka crableu via cannonball, and boy, is it a splash!
The week commences with an Ultimate Meme, one that would instantly foretell the fate of the Maxis for this week and beyond, transforming meme lovers and the merely meme-curious alike, into an army of effortless cool.

In record time, we witness the latest must-have accessory, introduced via slick Jobsian presentation by NeonGlitch86 (with co-artists 6529er and X), pressed into the hands of the populace – to freely use, share, copy, and remix. Yes folks: this meme card comes with its own .svg and .glb files, the very imminent promise that we’ll all be able to sport a pair of these summer.jpg bad boys even on our hottest and most hungover of days. Airdropping soon to a vibe near you.
Like petals blossoming after a desert thunderstorm, a collective donning of derivative shades quickly graces every avatar and PFP from Arizona to Australia, the catchiest and meme-iest of them all being mememaxis’s ascii version (workshopped live on the Meme Maxis Factory Floor then rolled off the assembly line with stunning efficiency)… behold:
⌐🆇-🆇
Ever-so-portable, these puppies nestle snugly within even the slimmest swimsuit, occupying no more than seven characters of a tweet’s length limit – and remain at all times, of course, eminently adorable.



Some animated action as well, by g9ralt (announcement) –

…and by spuddhism (announcement) –

As do the memes, so does Zigmarillion embrace cc0 for his own work also, allowing everyone to use the eye-popping “Cyberflower” however they wish, upon its sale (announcement) –

cc0 empowers us all, facilitating a culture of free exchange and expression. aRegularDad writes about the freedom to transact in the context of a recent exchange with his daughter, inspired by the Nakamoto Freedom meme card.
The potential for meme cards becoming merch, thanks to open ownership, also begins to bear fruit, thanks to web3_50, who has built and set up shop:

With the birth of each new meme, our sphere of influence grows. It’s one thing to receive these sagely words from wetpotatobrain, and another to watch our shared sphere in stunning action:

“We are at the beginning of the beginning of the beginning,” as punk6529 fractally intones; this editor was able to corroborate these calculations to a shocking degree of significant-digit precision.
Doctor remixes doctor in this G9ralt-mashup of the Sphere with the Seize:

Uccio_eth joins the fray as well, inviting a playful medley of meme artists previous:

🌲
If there is a theme this week, it’s concerted resilience in the face of turmoil. Here’s intrepid_p on living intentionally:

Deconstruct_eth in discussions with the most preserverant among us about the universality of beauty:

Burnasso, engaged in some healthy self-pep-talk:

paulwilsonimage, presenting a parcel of perspective with this magnificent composition:

dinocelotti opens a door; or how many are there, actually?

NaimePakniyat announces her charming piece in the Capsule House Genesis Collection, epitomizing the courageousness of building and creating light – in defiance of those who might choose to rule through oppression.

We’ll let Burnasso close out this section, with a selection of some indispensable uplift –
gm fam
each of us is unique each of us has extraordinary abilities, some of us have already found them and others are still searching for them each one of us deserves to be treated with love, decency and respect each one of us has the right to exist never forget that
We’ve got a friend in Pepe, rightly promoted to Sergeant and appearing more heroic by the hour. Ars0nic recruits the most righteous of the memes, combining WAGMI, LFG, the Freedom to Transact, and several generational campaigns’ worth of motivational posters into this caramel swirl of camaraderie (punk6529 announcement):

G9ralt envisions Pepe’s celebration with a frosty one, mugs at the ready:

Then…something unusual starts to happen, moments after Sgt. Pepe’s inaugural flight missions. After minting, pieces on secondary begin to disappear rapidly, purchased by one enthusiastic buyer – raising Pepe’s floor price significantly through the following hours.
And then…slowly but with an alarming acceleration over the next 48 hours (and still counting?)

The situation is described most eloquently by g9ralt:
...this madman named Crab bought all the Sgt. Pepe's and then other madmen followed him and then it started trending on OS and then D Farmer tweeted and then more madmen swept...
Whew! We are swept from this context at the beginning of Nov 19 (deca.art announcement) –

– through OGDFarmer’s tweet thread and commensurate purchases, to our very own DGMD22’s killer thesis, to this “after” snapshot towards the end of Nov 21 (dynamic Memes stats dashboard) –

A mixture of excitement and consternation roils the group, sparking lively discussion about the relative importance (and the difficult to ignore, as much as we’d rather-ness) of prices. Thankfully, wise voices rise to the fore, reminding us all that what makes the Maxis special, as well as strong, is our mutual support for one another.
Punk6529 also looses a quick, helpful volley of tips, keeping everyone on the straight-n-narrow:

The broader narrative of cryptocurrencies and NFTs is largely powered by a few foundational tenets. One of them – Entrust at your own peril – has lately been repeatedly emphasized, yet it is still up to us, individually and co-creatively, to do the work.
It takes gumption and initiative, of the kind we see in aRegularDad’s generous offers to help fellow members of web3 builders with outreach to loved ones during this communal time:

Is this all fun and games, or…are we actually building something useful?
Yes!
Creation is an imperative; openness is an imperative. Imagine visiting this gallery space made by fmiasp (which, if you own one, you can use for your exhibitions too) –

– without feeling the slightest rush of inspiration. That every detail of these artworks has been collaboratively created, permissions generously granted – without tolls paid to parasitic (ad-selling) rent-seekers? Huge victories all.
Let’s raise our !UGHs to the mission at hand, while celebrating our humanness in all forms…

(that’s Venus of Willendorf, from Parachicaa’s epic & enlightening nude art history tweetstorm)

(that’s from HugoFaz’s TWT photo collection)

(that’s MeltedMindz’s Skullzy, which, as of this writing, you may collect for free and place in your metaverse gallery)
Lots to do, and lots to see. Case in point: Lindis Pass, Wanaka, New Zealand, courtesy paulwilsonimage –

Happy meme-seizing and life-seizing to all !
