The Shepherd’s Leap, known locally as Salto del Pastor, is a traditional technique developed by the Guanche people of the Canary Islands to navigate the steep and jagged volcanic terrain that covers much of the landscape. The pole used is called a lanza or astia, typically made from local wood with a metal or hardened tip that stakes into rock or earth on impact. Sliding down the pole during the descent is what absorbs the energy of the fall, functioning similarly to how a pole vaulter controls their drop. Goat fat has historically been used as a lubricant on the pole to allow a controlled slide without causing friction burns to the hands during the descent.

Princess diana Meeting mr. bean (Rowan Atkinson) in 1984
.
.
Mr Bean The encounter between and in 1984 stands out as a unique and symbolic moment that blended royalty with comedy. At the time, Diana was becoming one of the most admired figures in the world, known for her empathy, elegance, and ability to connect with people. In contrast, Mr. Bean, portrayed by , represented a different kind of influence — one rooted in humor, awkwardness, and universal appeal.
This meeting drew attention because of the striking difference between the two. Diana carried a natural grace and warmth, while Mr. Bean’s character thrived on silence, clumsiness, and unpredictable behavior. The combination created a moment that felt both surreal and entertaining, capturing the imagination of the public.
Beyond its surface, the encounter also reflected the cultural atmosphere of the time. It showed how traditional institutions like the British monarchy could intersect with modern entertainment in unexpected ways. Diana’s openness to such moments helped reinforce her image as a relatable and forward-thinking royal figure.
In the end, this meeting remains memorable not for any formal significance, but for the contrast it presented — a quiet reminder that even in the most structured environments, there is always space for humor, humanity, and unexpected connections.

When I first came to Germany, I experienced a cultural shock I never expected. One day I was sitting at a dinner table enjoying my meal, and suddenly someone calmly pulled out a tissue and blew their nose right there. For a second I froze with my fork in the air thinking, “Did that really just happen?” Everyone else continued eating like it was the most normal thing in the world, like someone had just asked for the salt. It took me a moment to process it, but I eventually realized that in Germany this is completely normal. Cultural learning unlocked… with surround sound. 😄 #german #culture #cultura

I can recall so many feminine-presenting artists/musicians who get incredible amounts of hate/belittled in their dignity for “bad things” they’ve done, but at a DISPROPORTIONATE RATE than their male counterparts… The amount of times I’ve heard ‘Oh but I still like Drake tho🥺…” Okay?… Just don’t empower him or talk about him… the way we’ve empowered our wonderful child-loving president… Misogyny and racism are very real powerful systemic oppressive structures and we need to call it out one day at a time. #women #culture #music #artists #men

900+ dandelions timelapse
We started making timelapses and dandelion art in 2020 when we returned from Japan and saw stabilized dandelions hanging from the ceiling and lying on the table. Then we made my sister a dress and the first timelapses with them. Kotleta helped in every way. Write if you want a post with our dandelion projects. There are many!
