Mysterious Collard Greens in Morocco

1 min read

Cover artwork. Green collard leaves arranged around the stem, seen from above

Collard greens are strongly associated with Black foodways in the US South. They are also valued in Morocco on the edge of the Sahara, although the outside world has only just found out about that.

That raises so many questions.

In IWC DUS yesterday we were talking about feeds and how to help people use them. This morning I read http://tinyshopww.blogspot.com/2026/02/whats-going-on-with-unplugged-shop-blog.html and in the comments is a perfect example of the problem. A person uses feeds to follow his passion and a person who shares that passion thinks they are too hi tech

Updated Idno to 1.6.4, build 2026022801 and surprised that I had to re-upload most of the plugins and the Theme I use, though they are all still in the repo. Trying to decide whether my dislike of the 2026 theme is just because it is different. I should give it a little longer.

TIL: Oscan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscan_language “an extinct Indo-European language of southern Italy. The language is in the Osco-Umbrian or Sabellic branch of the Italic languages. Oscan is therefore a close relative of Umbrian and South Picene”.
