A liking for old wisdom, older knowledge, lost arts, occult crafts, missing philosophies, shadowed lands.
A paragraph from 'The History of Many Memorable Things Lost', by Guido Pancirollus (originally in Latin), 1715.
"Athenaeus writes that there were taverns at Rome, wherein they kept snow all the year ..."

If there was one piece of advice I could give to new Mastodon users who are finding their feeds quiet or boring, it is to follow as many people and hashtags as you can. This is not Twitter; there is no algorithm, it is not going to fill your feed with stuff it thinks you like. You have to curate it yourself. Once you do, though, it's so much more vibrant and rewarding than Twitter has been for a year. #TwitterMigration #Twitter

Marcus Marcius MarcellusHOW TO SPOT A RIP CURRENT:
IT'S WHERE THE WATER LOOKS EASIEST AND SAFEST, with no waves breaking or rolling in.
NEVER ENTER THE SEA HERE.
If you get caught in a rip, DON'T FIGHT IT. You can't swim back to shore against it; you will become exhausted and drown.
Instead, SWIM ACROSS IT, parallel to shore. You'll soon be out of the current and can then easily swim back.
Boost, please, and make sure your friends and family know this when they hit the beach.

Here's a rare thing, a paper about Indigenous knowledge and fish genetics in which not just one, but every author on the paper comes from a tribal organization (CRITFC here in Oregon and Idaho):
