#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.

He wore black denim jrousers and jotorcycle joots
And a black jeather jacket with a jeagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'jicle that took off like a jun
That jool was the jerror of highway 101

what's up guys, made the usual blood sacrifice to pay for the first watermelon of the summer

me: *reads a funny text post aloud*

@sherbet_marcuse : *jumps up, grabs our copy of The Second Sex, and reads me a quote about holes and slime*

I've liked living in the middle of nowhere, but it is going to be so nice to be 10 mins from a grocery store, instead of 40

any good instance recs? Feel like I should have a backup

done with a hell school year!! it's summer!!

last day of the school year!!!

I was enjoying my work's AC all day and now I am Very Very Hot

waiting for a fundraising/awareness-spreading campaign to start selling "keep masto/fedi weird" merch, in the vein of american towns fighting a change to their social or economic realities

so, since we are in a weird Between space in our move and have two rentals we can inhabit, we could technically stay in the new apartment and be out of the fucking oven that is our yurt...

but on the other hand we'll be at our air-conditioned workplaces for the hot hours, and the breeze usually picks up off the river in the evening and cools everything off pretty fast... plus all we have in the new apartment is like, a bare mattress, and some odds and ends

when we stopped by the apartment this afternoon, it was Cool, despite the heat. shutting the windows to regulate temperature actually works there. looking forward to not literally melting like I did all last summer

really resent the fact that, for this area, I have to make myself visible to straight people to have more than *literally two people* show up as matches, and make myself show up in searches as female if I want more than two matches that are people I might possibly get along with

thanks okc lol

our new place is gonna be 15—20 mins from work and 10 mins from the grocery store, instead of 35—40 to either of them. we currently do 300 mi/week, we're gonna save so much on gas and just like... time.

I've got big boobs
I've got big boobs
They're such big boobs
And they're dirty big boobs
And he's got big boobs
And she's got big boobs
(But we've got the biggest boobs of them all)

The first thing we moved in was a new-used futon mattress bc we coordinated the craigslist pickup for our sign-in day, but here are the decorative/Witchy items that have gotten packed into a first box, bc they are not needed while we work on the move:

— 3 framed postcard prints
— 1 cougar skull, formerly owned by a dead uncle
— 1 pink fist-sized sunstone, mined by a dead uncle
— 1 green stone that is probably actually dyed glass
— 2 tiny unfired dishes I made w/clay from a pet grave
— 1 (Alaskan Native-made) antler dreamcatcher thing my dad gave me
— 1 battery tealight
— 1 bag of whole cloves
— coins w/auspicious signs on them
— Several tarot/oracle decks, w/spread cloth
— Lucky clay sphere I made w/red clay from a fallen oak's root ball

one form of successful co-cooking is both of you thinking that the other person did most of the work

Can anyone recommend either individual artists or decent retailers who sell large pride flags? Would love a flag to hang in my window, but would rather not just pick whichever is cheapest on Amazon.
