I periodically send wishes out to the universe.
These stories need an English translation ASAP 🤞 (Added a new one)
- Escanor (only #Arthurian romance where grumpy Sir Kay falls in love)
- Banu Goshasp Nama (Persian #epic about a warrior woman)
- Gulaim and her Forty Warrior Maidens (Karakalpak epic about warrior women)
- Sanada Ten Braves (Edo era novel of #Japanese ninja badassery)
- Lokapannati (medieval Pali epic about a heist to steal robots from the Romans) (yep really)

Toddler is learning about birds from memory cards. So far she has gotten to the point where she can tell if something is a siskin or not a siskin. 🤷♀️😄
Mostly because siskin in Hungarian is csíz (pronounced 'cheese') and she thinks it's hilarious.

It has been 8 years since Jupiter Ascending and I still don't know WTF I have just seen. 🤨

nostr:npub1xyfe8kpjavl2enln8mfpekgckecuq7ra3mpvj0clg6fxnf92w76s7f5ww5 I think it might mean a lot of things, depending on who you ask. I like it because all the animals treat the sparrow with kindness (except for the cat but even that one doesn't eat him), despite him doing a funny thing. And because the sparrow is happy with his beer pond regardless of whether it is good beer or not?
#FolktaleMoment
One of my favorite beer #Folktales from Estonia:
Sparrow wants to make beer, roasts 1 grain of barley and drops it into a pond. He offers animals a drink from his beer pond.
The mouse and the dog pretend it's beer because they don't want to disappoint the sparrow.
The cat pretends it's beer hoping to eat the sparrow. The horse tells the sparrow the truth, but still drinks.
The sparrow decides to use two grains next year. 🍺

Ok maybe not as a commercial venture, but it could be like a club? Everyone contributes their own niche folklore, and in return gets the mail from the others in the club?
Watching BabyPeacockGate unfold on Facebook made me realize how many people don't watch nature documentaries at all...
