Follow me if you like shitposts about the historical cross-roads' between Abrahamic superstitions versus #Pagan religions and philosophies. I also post about news and politics of Soviet Canuckistan, 'Murica, and other such despotic regimes, particularly in relation to human rights in a digital and #infosec context. Apart from that, lots about #herbalism, #permaculture, tiny homes, cute Asian thots and other random BS as the whim strikes me.

If you're gonna engage with me in a conversation, please bring something to the table that actually elevates the discussion. If you're just there to lob ad hominems, bitch about <insert racial slur>, cry about your place in the victim Olympics, or other such fuckwit antics, I'm gonna make fun of you mercilessly and when I get too bored, mute your account. Use your brain.

It's a brix refractometer used by bee keepers to measure the amount of water in honey. Similar refractometer devices are also commonly used by brewers, vintners and distillers as an alternative to a hydrometer (saccharometer or alcoholometer).

Wrong etymology. The exact words Columbus used for the land were "las Indias" (the Indies), and "los Indios" for the people. The terms were in common use all across Europe by the 15th century in reference to all of South and South East Asia, and derived from the Sanskrit word "sindhu" (river) referring to the Indus River which acts as the natural boundary marker of the region. Fwiw, even Russell Means promoted the Latin "una gente in Dios" origin in spite of there being no such reference in any colonial document and loads explicitly referring to the geographical misunderstanding. It's a nice idea, but still wrong. Hindustan (also referring to the Indus river) was the term used by Persian and Mughal sources, and wasn't used by Europeans until the 17th century.
