Are you curious how the life of #oldnorse #philologist and #digitalhumanist is at @psl-univ.bsky.social ? Not too bad! Today on my way to the dedicated Nordic library I passed by a part of the city wall from the 12th century & while at the library found out who used Rimur fyrir 1600 before me. 😊
I'm looking for phrases that mean the same as "Nature Lover" that aren't colored by eco-radicalism, don't refer to hippies or granola (nothing wrong with either), and generally are more universal and refined.
Wadda ya got?
