Marshmallow
In ancient times, marshmallow, and related species provided food in good times and in bad. The leaves were eaten cooked or raw. Egyptians, Romans and the inhabitants of Syria incorporated this plant into their diet. The youngest leaves are even considered a delicacy. Marshmallow leaves are amazingly mild and palatable, with the demulcent, slippery constituents taming the fuzz, that might otherwise be offputting to some. This plant as both food and fodder is visible in the writings of Romans, Horace (who found it Ode-worthy) and Virgil. Roots were boiled, then fried with other ingredients. These have long served as a supportive preparation, particularly in times of crop failure.

There’s a need to point people to milder and less brain bending alternatives, and passionflower is a good candidate. It’s able to produce mild anxiolytic and muscle relaxing effects, without placing the user into an impaired or compromised state. Anyone should have the option to get mellow without being blasted, or losing memories.

I’m starting a new project to learn about linkers. It’s called ˋweld`, and it lives here github.com/Hywan/weld.

I do this on my free time; understand very sporadically.

This toot is a thread to show progress or to ask help.

This was supposed to start September 1st but I have yet to hear of anything happening with this yet.

This week's donation went to the Mellium Co-op. It's a collection of Go libraries, tools, and modules related to XMPP. For those who don't know XMPP is a messaging protocol that is decentralized and offer better privacy and security than something like SMS.

The project's website is here:

mellium.im/

The source code is hosted on Codeberg:

codeberg.org/mellium/

The project has a presence on Mastodon and XMPP:

If you wish to help the project financially they accept donations through Open Collective:
