I still believe in a world before Twitter because I am that old.
Question: Who still has their old gadgets around and do you still use them?
This is my travel Nokia. Lasts two weeks without charge and is still the best phone around. Probably will survive an apocalypse at this rate.

I like approaching new regions and epochs of #history through well-researched #HistoricalNovels.
In the case of #Temüjin who became #Genghis Khan and his heirs, I can recommend the fascinating 4 books of #ConnIggulden's #Conqueror Series: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conqueror_(novel_series)You can check them out at the #InternetArchive, which could use some donations in its legal battles against the media multinationals.

I'm going to start the #hnpp tag as it's not here yet. I have it. It stands for Hereditary Neuropathy with Liability to Pressure Palsies. It's a rare degenerative neurological condition, closely related to #multiplesclerosis.
It means I'm losing my limbs, my legs are around 30% and arms about 50%. My spine is at around 50% now hence needing a wheelchair. I hope to raise awareness and allow others to find me here!

Here's a #throwback for #WaterfallWednesday, this is the beautiful Agua Azul Waterfall in #Mexico, close to #Palenque.
The waterfalls get their name, Agua Azul, meaning Blue Water, perhaps rather obviously because the water thundering down it has a bright blue hue. Their incredible colour is, in fact, because the high mineral content of the water, which deposits itself on the rock.

Thanks for sharing this.
Being an admirer of #GenghisKhan, I had read about his descendant's conquest of #India. (Though by far not as in-depth as you.)I was therefore appalled about this #censorship by the #ModiGovernment.
I'm not sure if you got my repost, but you might want to dig deeper, alas, it does make sense from a political point of view (there are at least 3 layers of chiefly geopolitical threads by now):

This is a huge deal. I believe the condition that I have #HNPP is actually very prevalent but it's only ever tested if there are symptoms.
In South Korea, however, it turned out there were 16/100,000 in a similar study.
