We may be small, but we're mighty. We're #TheUnmentionables !!
And now, our Fearless Leader @FatPandaDesign is going to Steemfest2 in Lisbon, Portugal where he will represent our interests well, help educate other Steemians about us ... and somewhere in there, he'll have a fabulous time.
Winning plane tickets to this party would make anyone's day ... but it couldn't happen to a better guy. He's had his share of tough times lately.
So learn more about him. Learn more about us. Learn more about Steemfest2. You might decide to pack up your laptop, sneak out the back door at work and join him. I guarantee he'll be happy to meet you. And I promise this, too: He's worth the trouble.
The Unmentionables is going to Steemfest2!

I learn something new and interesting every time I read this writer's blog. You'll find him at
He's a scientist with shades of a philosopher mixed in, so his writing style is a little tonier than you find on most blogs. (Who knows? The change might do you good!)
In this essay, he talks about some of the treasures that have been lost to science, culture and history because the records that would keep them available ... don't exist. The reasons themselves are fascinating and present some ideas I bet you never considered. I know they were revealing for me. So, if you're laced up and ready for writing that will make you think ... here you go!
(Mountain -- yeah, that's his real name -- writes well and is easy to read. Don't be put off because I said it was all science-y and stuff.)

Scientific and Historical Invisibility:
How the Unknown Changes the Known
It takes a special kind of person and a special kind of courage to breathe deep and decide to build a life as a homesteader. Steemian 
There are a lot of fine health and economic reasons why they do what they do. But, just the inspiration of being this independent is something to admire. Moreover, sustainable gardening may become a survival skill for all of us. Here she talks about soil and mulch and dealing with pests. (Before you get all excited, let me say dealing with 2-legged pests is a whole 'nother issue. Sorry, you're still on your own.)
So, before Monstanto manages to poison all the soil we walk on and every speck of nourishment in the food chain, explore what might be an option in your own best interests. Food is the very stuff of life. To produce your own is a revolutionary act. It might save and it certainly will change your life to do it. Be responsible. Have fun. Learn to grow your own garden.
Our fearless leader

Ah, crypto(currency). It speaks a language of its own and it dominates about 90% of the conversations on Steemit. Eventually, you may learn to speak it -- or at least understand it -- in self-defense. As part of your homework, consider reading this analysis on the recent Bitcoin craziness brought on by rumors of China maybe throwing its weight around.
If you think high-stakes gambling tables in Vegas are fun, maybe you should get in on this game. It's volatile. In some ways it's virtual. And there's some who say the concept of the currency itself is all in your imagination.
Still, there's plenty of people willing to talk about it, write about it, and take it seriously. If you're playing on that team, here's something to consider from 
I've followed this blog for a while now. It's one of my regular stops. If there's a bit of the philosopher in you, you might want to do the same. Enjoy this example. And if this is "right up your alley" the way it was for me ... you're welcome!

Curating Great Posts for You
This is an interesting entry from a young Nigerian writer who, despite his youth, has developed a most delightful style. His writing grabs your attention no matter what his subject. This example, written when he was feeling under the weather, reads a little like a stream-of-conscousness fever dream -- both serious and strangely amusing -- a piquant flavor all its own.
