Huh, I guess you can’t have a user confirm a form submission without JavaScript. At least not that I could find. Darn. 🤔

Finished reading: 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann 📚.
This book had me contemplating the difference between what I was taught about Native Americans growing up and what this book and current research suggests. I had a lot of moments where it felt like what the book was saying, in terms of agriculture and land management, that just seemed so obvious but never occurred to me to wonder about. I was startled to find out about how far back some of these civilizations went and how a perfect storm of events swept through and erased almost all of it. Fascinating.
