The comeback of old habits.

On a related note, families on the island of #Crete are much smaller today than in the past. A fact that is commonly attributed to (significantly) changed eating habits.

A Local Character in a Cretan Village

Many years ago, in 2002, I visited Crete for a sun holiday. It was the first sun holiday I’d ever been on, so quite a shock for this young man from Cork.

Das blühende kretische Ebenholz bekommt man nur im Frühjahr auf der Insel zu sehen. Dafür aber sehr üppig 🤗

“The oldest olive tree in the world located on the island of Crete. It is estimated to be as over 3,000 years old and still produces olives.”

#that was (give or take) around the time of the bronze age collapse #crete was no longer a major player #and the known world was kinda in turmoil #and yet someone planted an olive tree #i’m not saying there’s a direct parallel #but you know…systemic collapse thanks to many things including climate change #and it sucked for a lot of people #but they still needed olive oil #and idk man…maybe plant a tree #because the world has ended so many times #but the tree is still here #and so are we”

Tension prevailed and teargas was fired at Pro-Palestinian protesters at the port of Agios Nikolaos, Crete, during the arrival of Israeli-flagged cruise ship “Crown Iris” with hundreds of Israeli tourists onboard at the port of Agios Nikolaos, Crete, on Tuesday.

#Minoan religion and arts are profoundly not interested in the self-perpetuating, power-hungry ego. What they celebrate is the opposite: the ritually-induced release from individuality, and an ecstacy of being that is overtly erotic and spiritual at the same time (ek-stasis, or “standing beyond oneself”)—a cosmos that both nurtures and ignores the individual, that vibrates with inseparable sexual energies and spiritual epiphanies.

Dans les grottes de Crète, dans la région de Lassithi, on peut croiser Hoplopholcus minotaurinus, une espèce d'araignée de la famille des Pholcidae. Contrairement au minotaure mythologique, cette araignée "minotaurine" est bien réelle. Mais pas de panique, son corps mesure un demi-centimètre et elle est inoffensive.
