Being able to run Mentra OS on them is also a major plus, even though I'm sure that wasn't on the awards criteria 😅

The Even Realities G1s totally deserve THREE major design awards! They're my daily pair of glasses and always surprise people with how they look like a normal pair of glasses. If only they had speakers and/or a camera and they'd be perfect.

It’s just US$3 on Bandcamp — less than the price of a coffee, and worth so much more than that (I speak as a coffee addict here too ☕️).

Share with a friend who needs a musical hug today.

Patrick Catanzariti @patrickcatanzariti.bsky.social · 15d

Each song is professionally produced and the stunning artwork is crafted entirely by Meri (no AI, just pure creativity).

If you, or someone you know, could use a musical pick me up or a reminder that they’re not alone, please take a moment to listen, buy, and share ❤️

Your mental health matters.

Today on #WorldMentalHealthDay2025, I get to share something truly special: my wife Meri's brand new Mental Health EP — her first release in 8 years.

This isn’t just another CD. It’s three heartfelt, original tracks on an important topic.

That's the new me right there. No hat! No glasses! A fresh start!

At least that's the start of each day that most don't see. Just as raw and full of potential as my day is, that's the boundless potential of The Reality Crafters from this moment.

You'll be hearing a lot more from us this month. ⚜️⚓️🕰

PatCat looked dishevelled without a hat or glasses!

Meri literally debuted THIRTEEN music videos yesterday on Twitch - one for every 50 gift subs on her channel. Despite that, she still has EIGHT MORE for viewers to redeem today!!! She is superhuman... it's also her STREAMVERSARY CELEBRATION TODAY!
