@the_wilderless I’m colorblind as well. It’s rare in women. But I know what you mean. Something about has increased my capacity to see the subtle nuances of color and shades in a way I wouldn’t be able to if I was not colorblind. I love you too.

We’re all weird here.

@the_wilderless Doesn’t it depend on the type of lineage? Folk lineages are so emergent and dynamic, adaptive. The archive, moveable and practices open to modification in any time or location.

@mollistan @banefolk Yes as a western herbalist, in the US, I’ve witnessed it. Anti-vax, anti-biomedicine, “trust the herbs” and even more extreme the idea that viruses don’t exist. They have videos by so-called scientist on YouTube to back it all up. Fortunately it’s a small faction.

Some things most people don’t know about New York State:
• it is not all New York City. In fact most of it is not
• “upstate” NY is a different location depending on where you’re point of reference is. If you’re in NYC it’s the Hudson Valley which is just the lower portion

The culture in rural NY (particularly central and south western) is contiguous with Appalachian culture and is also socio-economically similar. Another big difference between NY and New England:
