Living more closely to the Earth and learning how to love nature back. Also remote scenery from mountains everywhere, natural remedies, disappearing arts, historic coolness, cultural intrigues, art, and anything else I love.
About me: My name is Kate. I love anything cultural or outdoorsy. I have worked on both fossils and artifacts, in the field and the lab professionally. I am a blacksmith, bellydancer, subsistence farmer, naturalist, musician, and artist. I love to cook! I am studying for my masters degree in history, so some historical stuff is likely to come up. Feel free to ask me a question or leave a comment. Keep it classy and enjoy my blog!
A sandfall! This is amazing. What might be going on is when it rains in the desert the water isn’t absorbed quickly and mixes with the top layer of wet sand which can form moving sand rivers and waterfalls. (Source)
In 1898 Nikola Tesla once tricked an entire crowd into believing they could control a toy boat by shouting commands - he had in fact invented Radio Control and was piloting the boat himself.
Man invents something incredible and immediately uses it to screw with people.
the scariest president had to be Rushmore because he had four heads
it’s a good thing we captured him in that mountain even if we have to live in fear of the spell wearing off :/
Am I glad he’s frozen in there and that we’re out here, and that he’s the president, and that we’re frozen out here, and that we’re in there and I just remembered we’re out here. What I wanna know is where’s the politics?
he’s back
He’s come to fight Donald Trump.
thank you president rushmore
They always said he’d return when we needed him most
WW-I battlefields remain uninhabitable for 300-900 years. iI’s because of the unrecovered human remains, chemical contamination, plus unexploded artillery shells, all lost in the soil which at the time was churned into mud by the sheer volume of artillery used. (Source)
what she means:it's 2 am and I can't stop thinking about the Pied Piper. Initially i thought it was just an old faerie tale but i've been reading up on it and it turns out that at some point in the town of Hamelin, a bunch of children really did go missing all at once in fact a stained glass window in the local church in 1300 was made to tell the story AND Hamelin's written history literally BEGINS in 1384 with the sentence "it is 100 years since our children left." There are a ton of theories about what the piper could actually represent but historians are pretty much convinced that something did take away children en masse in the 1200s in Hamelin and to this day we still use the phrase "it's time to pay the piper." When will we pay him? Who was he???? Like okay I see the theories but what if some flute paying faerie really just led a bunch of kids away in 1284 I cannot get over this.
