@takenalive.bsky.social haho I was trying to look up your Twitter for something and noticed you deleted it. Did you ever share a source or story that discussed hand talk and how it helps language learners' retention levels? Or maybe I imagined that lol

1/3 You may be surprised that, until quite recently, many Europeans thought swallows hibernated @ bottom of ponds. Invasive techniques like banding set them straight, although maybe they knew long ago but got disconnected & forgot. Indigenous sciences have long understood bird migration

2/3 Many stories & names demonstrate advanced ecological knowledge. Charles Grolla in his great book Binesi-Dibaajimowinan (Ojibwe Bird Stories) calls swallows “south flying birds”. The root is reduplicated preverb zhaawani- “south”, + -bii- meaning “drawing” or maybe -bizo- meaning “move rapidly” +

3/3 the suffix -si (or variant) for small animal. Zhaashaawanibisii is sometimes specific to Tree Swallow or used generically for all swallows. Charles wrote of joy of seeing swallows return, their Anishinaabemowin name acknowledging their migration from the south, as a sure sign of spring.

Buffalo running.

Can you guys share this to help my old followers find me?

I really depend on the old site for sales but don’t want my work used to train AI.
