Sean Franklin (swordstem.com)“Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.” This adage is used to illustrate the fact that speed is gained through efficient movements, rather than just trying to use as much force as possible. And in a lot of ways it is true. Most of the increases in speed we realize are not from an increase in the ra...
Looks like Sean wrote an excellent article on training speed in #HEMA [that I somehow missed until now].

Michal Zalecki (LogRocket Blog)I think it’s fair to say that most programmers understand type safety as a feature of the programming language which eliminates the type errors. TypeScript as a statically typed superset of JavaScript addresses this issue, especially in the strict mode which is more rigorous and performs additional checks. That being said, I’m more interested in …

Lucretia (Etsy)Skuldcraft was born a few years ago out of the need to create and connect with nature. Horn, bone, wood and stones come together in unique items inspired by nature, history and apotropaic magic. Whether you're looking for an everyday amulet, an altar decoration or just a lucky charm, this is the place for you.
I’m not much into jewellery myself but maybe some of my #viking or #medieaval fellows find something to their liking at SkuldCraft. The owner offers handmade jewellery and ornaments made from bones, feathers, stones and other items found in nature. I got an awesome print from this shop on my last birthday when it was only on FB. Looks like it’s also on Etsy now and has a discount going:
