In Botiza women use pigments extracted from plants, flowers and bark to colour their wool. Preferably the pigments of summer flowers are used, because the spring-pigments contain to much water - Mick Palarczyk

Swim fin evil. Swim fin kicked my butt's whole ass and only my butt's ass. I went surfing this morning and hit every wave I swung at but I couldn't stand up on any of them because my whole butt's ass has been incapacitated. Clown shit. Long boogie board hours.
Last June @incurablenecromantic jock-sniped me really bad in the pond in Maine asking if I know how to do combat sidestroke because It Seemed Like Something You Would Know etc (reader, I did not in fact know). A year later in Hatteras we have an update: you will inevitably reinvent it of your own accord if you buy swim fins for boogie board purposes and then realize you don't remember how to use fins so you end up ditching the board to flail around trying to work out how to keep an eye on the waves and swim at the same time in shallow water, but as soon as you realize what you were doing it once again becomes impossible to replicate.

TIL a family in Georgia claimed to have passed down a song in an unknown language from the time of their enslavement; scientists identified the song as a genuine West African funeral song in the Mende language that had survived multiple transmissions from mother to daughter over multiple centuries (x)
In 1997 Amelia’s daughter, Mary Moran, and other members of the Moran family were invited to Sierra Leone, West Africa, where they were welcomed in Freetown by Sierra Leone’s President and then flown by helicopter to the country’s interior. There, in the small village of Senehun Ngola, Mary and Bendu Jabati met and sang this song together for the first time. Years earlier, Bendu’s grandmother had told her that this song, which had been passed down in her village from mother to daughter for centuries, would one day reunite her to long-lost relatives.
In addition to finding out where in Africa her ancestors were abducted into slavery, Mary Moran discovered the meaning of the Mende song: a processional hymn for the final farewell to the spirit, it was sung in Senehun Ngola by women as they prepared the body of a loved one for burial.

μεν having been struck by the Huge Laetiporus of legend I now understand why professional foragers persist in pack basket use δε a canvas canoe pack is a weird enough sight in the Mid-Atlantic never mind the basket itself that muh opsec! is going to continue to win out against the obvious advantages

I went fishing for smallmouth bass and caught the last trout in Seneca Creek (Opinel No. 9 for scale).
