Dwarf wine, Dwarven wine or Elf drink
Older fly agarics tend to bend their hats upwards into a cup shape. When rain or dew collects in these cups and stays there for a few days, the water absorbs the mushroom’s ingredients, thus forming a natural cold extract which is slightly psychoactive. There are many legends and fairy tales involving people who have enjoyed the wine of elves or dwarves. These people experience strong changes in their perceptions. Place, time and the person themselves seem to be magically “transformed”.
i have this writing style i like to call “uncertain.” it’s where the narrator isn’t really sure what they’re talking about either

So, this is my little friend who goes mushroom hunting with me. His name is “Little Bell” in our language.

Today it was Sid’s turn for a pretty portrait, and he knocked it out of the park.
This assumes that I, as a girl, am not also obsessed with these themes. "Girl " movies vs "boy " movies is so ancient thought.

“They were going to the moon. I computed the path that would get you there. You determined where you were on Earth when you started out, and where the moon would be at a given time. We told them how fast they would be going, and the moon will be there by the time you got there.”—Katherine Johnson
We’re highlighting a couple of important TechMAKERS this week for Women’s History Month. These women have made incredible strides in STEM, despite the challenges they faced entering professional and academic fields that are overwhelmingly male-dominated.
It was only recently, with the release of Hidden Figures, that Katherine Johnson received the public recognition she deserved. There was not much visibility granted to a woman of color working at NASA in the 1960s.
Katherine made innumerable contributions to our space program, but the most important was being part of the team that put an American on the moon. She calculated the trajectory analysis for the mission because the computer they used was known to be faulty. We repeat: Katherine Johnson’s calculations were more trusted than that of NASA’s computers.
To see our full video profile of Katherine Johnson, head on over to MAKERS.
