#Introductions #Introduction

March is the first month in the older Roman calendar. Of interest this month is a festal sequence for #Cybele & #Attis and Liber's special day.

🎋 Canna Intrat (15): marks the birth of Attis.

⛓️ Liberalia (17): celebration of #Liber, god of vegetation and freedom, and a day for coming of age ceremonies. The god was sometimes, in later periods, conflated with #Bacchus or #Dionysos.

🌲 Arbor Intrat (22): marks the death of Attis, and is followed by a 3-day mourning period (23—25).

📯 Tubilustrum (23): an older holiday in honor of #Mars, marking the beginning of the campaign season and a cleansing of either war trumpets or sacrificial trumpets (scholars disagree).

😭 Dies Sanguinis (24): a day of frenzied, violent mourning for Attis.

😆 Hilaria (25): celebration of the resurrection of Attis.

🛏️ Requietio (26): a day of rest from festal mourning.

⛲ Lavatio (27): ritual washing of Cybele's image

🥗 Salus (30): holiday in honor of Salus, goddess of safety.

@raye @hope @brightneedle @GwenfarsGarden Thanks for the recommendations!

anyone on here still using pokémon go? I finally have a smart phone and am trying it out, no clue what I am doing or how to add people

everyone has these cute picrew avatars. i am a man eating beans.

it amuses to see a room full of educators taking longer to simmer down when a facilitator tries to call for quiet than they would probably tolerate... and no one at my table wanting to summarize what we discussed to the rest of the room, so I had to do it...

the trauma workshop could have been worse, it was kinda corny and exhausting and I didn't learn anything new, but at least it wasn't terribly traumatizing

going to an all-day trauma workshop for educators in a little bit, and I'm like... middle-key dreading it

What are people's most-recommended (or least derided) Mastodon phone apps?

I just got my first smart phone, and I don't intend on actually using the app right now, just keeping it around in case of laptop failure

Short list of anime I can't believe I watched:

— Anything with "ore" in the title

me, watching Lost: it's like a society in here

also, people are welcome to add me on Steam!! I'm nittofulaks on there.

I've only really used the platform to play Oblivion, Left 4 Dead (my partner and I would love more teammates), FTL, and Terraria. I also have Left 4 Dead 2 and Stalker that I have yet to boot up.

— I need to tally up how much I've read this summer, because it was... significant

— Cooking! Nesting in new apartment!

— Enjoying the perfect passive cooling I currently enjoy, I have not been hot in my apartment a single day this summer, no AC or fans needed!!

— Gameing: FTL, Cookie Clicker, and Kittens on my own, and Super Mario Sunshine, Persona 3, and Left 4 Dead with my partner

— Watching: Lost (almost done with S2, started the show this summer), Sopranos S2, Doctor Who S2, assorted sporadic anime that I'm blanking on rn bc we've has some issues w/ downloads/files and watched less than is typical for us

one mars, two mars,

you ever just, punch yourself in the face when you go to adjust your glasses when you aren't wearing them?

I'm relocating my polytheist/witchy stuff to @nessotropheion and giving that space a go! Posts will be... sparse, probably! But I'm trying.

Someone in our apartment complex left this 3x4 glitchy-looking neon turquoise, pink, and purple painting of roses by the dumpster... so guess what's gonna get hung in our bedroom now.

My partner and I went to a thrift store looking for some specific cookware items and some more skirts, and we left with a copy of Georges Lefebvre's "The Coming of the French Revolution" and a Gilbert Williams painting of a wizard.

idol anime? yeah sure I watch idol anime. my favorite is, uh,
