In good fediverse form, I am multiplying.
There have been some significant and unexpected changes and challenges that mean I have been, and will continue to spend much more time looking after my kids (among other things). I haven't been collecting brightly interesting or provocative nuggets to post from @yetiinabox@todon.nl, which is my usual account; and it means I have a lot to work though and it's likely to leak into my writing.
I'll post more reflective thoughts here. I'll try to keep the 'yetiinabox' persona for the nuggets.
Hiti
हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
