Et Besynderligt Givtermaal imellem tvende Fruentimmere.

Eg har transkribert ein artikkel frå 1787 som beskriver saken om giftemålet Jens Andersen Opsal og Anne Christine Mortensdatter. Det at dette vart ein sak er kanskje overraskande før ein finner ut at Jens var angitt som kvinnelig ved fødsel. Denne artikkelen er viktig som kjelde for lhbt-historie. Eg vil advare at sjølv om eg har transkribert denne artikkelen til ein måte som er meir leselig for personar i moderne tid er språket og holdningane i artikkelen fortsatt frå slutten av 1700-tallet. Viss du vil lese meir moderne forståelse av saken og meir historie om sjølve saken annbefalar eg nasjonalbibliotekets artikkel  Jens og Anne Kristines hemmelighet . "I Aaret 1781, den 3die November blev Jens Andersen Opsal, der i nogle Aar baade tient som Kudsk og Gaardskarl hos Hr. Justitsraad Gram, og Pigen Anne Christine Mortensdatter, fød paa Hedesmarken, og som nogle, Aar havde ernæret sig her, som Væver-Pige, ordentlig ægteviede i Strømsøe Kirke. Af hvad Kiøn den foregivne Mand var, erf...

I think I found the absolute worst creative commons book to attempt to adopt into an epub - and then I did that.

Here is something I made. The proper e-book that bokselskapet used to make their published version of Norske hexeformularer og magiske opskrifter . My work took about 5 years to complete and probably wasn’t worth it but I’m way to proud of my work not to write a long blog complaining about the work. If you aren’t interested in reading it was such a bad idea to try to digitise this book specifically and just want to read the book just look here: https://www.bokselskap.no/boker/hexeformularer/tittelside Please take note of the mention on the title page. Somewhere around 2016-2017 I became aware of the book Hexeformularer og Magiske Opskrifter by Dr Anton Christian Bang. Published in 1901/1902 the book is every spell Dr Bang could get his hands on from Norwegian sources. Going through everything from court documents, newspapers, ethnographic studies, grimoires (svartebøker) and anywhere else such things were published he created a magnificent document showing the witchcraft as pract...

Four basic food Groups

If you ask me for my favourite Disney Movie. My answer would be Atlantis: The Lost Empire. In the Canon of Disney Movies, it is largely a forgotten gem. It didn't do well in the box-office and received mixed reviews by critics. I however love it. The cast is diverse and fun, the story is riveting and the design is absolutely breathtaking! If you want me to give you my favourite part of the movie, I'd probably give you a a six hour play-by play of the movie in it's entirety with reference to Design choices and background of each character, but one of the highlights would be Cookie's list of the four basic food groups ehich you can see in this  clip from Atlantis Beans, Bacon, Whisky And Lard. Whenever I'm in a conversation about healthy eating a small part of my brain is occupied with looking for a way to put this quote in. Lately I was thinking, "What would Cookies food pyramid look like" Now, Cookie, wouldn't have made a food pyramid, the Idea ...

No Gods, No Masters, Only Food

So, I'm a big McElroy fan. And I keep going back to this one skit in particular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lFWqHronU0  which was wonderfully turned into an animatic by Gracie May. All my respect goes to her. Give her all the likes and follows. I ended up making this poster that I am surprisingly proud of.

A Wily card

Wile E. Coyote has an interesting business card I really liked it so I made my own copy of it in two versions, the one with a background and one blank.  When I thought about the "Genius" and "Brain" I couldn't help but make connection to President Donald Trump. I think he would like this business card (with some personal changes). Edit: Buzzfeed made a font from Trumps handwriting , so I remade it with a text estimating what it would look like if Trump had axtually made this.
