[cyber-corp]

Keep in mind I only know like. Two Greek gods by name. Homer is one of them, and he was good friends with Odysseus I think?

[cyber-corp]

Wait fuck Homer isn’t a god he wrote the fucking thing. Fuck

[pluto-officially]

You're failing.

You don’t think I know that, God of Death? Can I pray to you so I can DIE ALREADY

[communist-mannyfesto]

Pluto is Roman, not Greek

[cyber-corp]

?????

[enigma-system03]

Short version is that Pluto is a later name for the god of death, which is often associated with the Roman era/Roman mythology. Hades is the earlier name.

I set up my own house made of sticks and it has promptly fallen on me

[cyber-corp]

HE’S NOT EVEN REAL?????*

[cyber-corp]

I made this post thinking I knew what kind of fire I was playing with. Hephaestus, God of Fire, looking upon me from his fuck off tower or whatever said “Oh you think you know? Check this shit” and promptly set my post ablaze for everyone to observe

[legionoftuna]

Hephaestus doesn't have a tower, he lived in a volcano

I need you to name every greek God you know and what they are for plz

[cyber-corp]

OKAY FINE HERE'S WHAT I'VE FOUND

HERMES: DA FUNNY ONE

ZEUS: DA LIGHTNING (NOTE: THOUGHT HE WAS NORDIC, FATHER OF THOR)

POSEIDON: DA SEA ONE

HEPHAESTUS: DA FIRE/FORGING/STEEL ONE

APHRODITE: DA HOT ONE

KRATOS: GOD OF WAR

HADES: DA HELL ONE. ROGUE LIKE

APOLLO: DA DODGEBALL/PROPHECY ONE

[boxxed-juice]

ares is the god of war, not kratos

[cyber-corp]

WHY THE FUCK DOES THE GAME CALL HIM GOD OF WAR THEN

[ironwoman359]

I can't believe this post is less than 24 hours old, it feels like something out of classic tumblr lore

[baddywronglegs]

Apollo listed here as the Tumbleric god of Dodgeball first shows how epithets change over time.

I wonder if he'd have seen that coming.

[mysteryteacup]

If not then he might be a lyre.

Hi! Sorry if this is to the wrong blog, but you were more recently active here on Stitch. A dear friend of mine is looking for some help in exploring paganism and doing some research into Ancient Egyptian practices, and I want to point them in a safer direction than "egyptology". I personally practice Hellenism, and I wondered if there was a similar word/descriptor for ancient Egyptian faiths that they could look into.

Would you or your followers have any suggestions or ideas? Or should I have them pick a good to study and see where their path goes from there?

Heya! All good, all the blogs get checked semi-regularly, so an ask to any of them is good. <3

I'm not really into the ancient Egyptian stuff at all, unfortunately. A quick search does show that there's really not a single term for the religious beliefs. Which honestly makes sense - the lifespan of the beliefs before disappearing was literally thousands of years. There was the official state religion (practiced in different ways in different places and at different times) along with various regional religious practices, small cults of about a billionty things, etc.

If any of my followers have better information, it would be awesome if you would add on to this. And if not... then not. (And this will be cross posted to the pagan blog too, just in case)

[nonasuch]

Please tell us about your beef with fringed black minidresses

They’re not even 20s through a Hollywood filter. They’re Hollywood 20s put through several more filters of ahistorical bullshit and sweatshop-labor fast fashion, and I hate them.

Like, let’s compare the kind of dress I get asked for with the closest actual 20s dress I could find an image of.

Things in common: black. some beads? I guess?

Now here is a selection of actual 20s evening dresses that are much more representative of the era:

No one ever asks me for anything that looks like this. Not that it would help if they did, because surviving original 20s garments tend to be both tiny and fragile, when they’re in wearable condition at all.

So I usually end up helping them find a 60s drop waist black dress and calling it good enough. It’s very frustrating.

Honeys, I'm home!

For those of you who don't know, I'm in the greater Orlando area.

We spent Milton and the immediate aftermath at the man thing's parents' place with them and his sister. (Referred to as the inlaws, even though we're not married, for ease.) We all got through it well, intact, and with minimal damage.

I mean "minimal" as in there were a couple of branches that came off a tree, and a bunch of leaves. The yard was fully cleaned within an hour or two of starting the process. Two houses down had a big tree fall over, though.

At the apartment there are some smaller branches down and the parking lot was coated with leaves. A couple of trees in the swamp that lines the drive fell over. They didn't fall into the roadway enough to block traffic or anything - it's still moving both ways easily. My car had a little bit of grit stuck in the brakes, but that was quickly worn through.

The worst thing that happened to us personally had nothing to do with the hurricane at all. It had to do with some asshole passing traffic on the right (illegal in the US) and cutting off a tractor trailer while on an overpass. It was close enough the trucker had to hit ALL the brakes, started fishtailing, ended up blocking all three lanes of traffic, but was able to keep everything upright and facing the right direction. Mad skills and kudos to that driver. But - and here's the kicker - it made everybody else need to short stop. Which was great until it got to the man thing, who was at the back of the traffic line. He was able to stop. The person behind him wasn't paying attention and they didn't stop.

So the man thing got rear ended on the way to work after the storm had passed. By a person who had no driver's license. In a vehicle with no insurance.

We have the police report number and are waiting for the paperwork to be officially filed and in the police system. We've contacted our insurance company, and they advised to wait to do anything until we get that information. So that's where things are.

This is where we're at so far! (Well, less the $250 that was originally put in my main account before I opened this one.)

For anybody who isn't caught up, this started a bit of a saga. If you're interested, read on.

The man thing got a new, much better job!

My job title got liquidated for overseas outsourcing, so all the people with the job title were laid off.

So many bugs in the apartment. So. Many. (Because it's Florida, it's been raining daily, and they're able to get inside)

Had an interview!

Scheduled an interview with a second company!

Tested positive for COVID

Have to reschedule the interview with the second company because I have one working nostril and 3 brain cells right now.

Did some math and realized I was probably exposed to COVID at the interview for the first company. Which would be morbidly hilarious because it was at a pandemic-approved workplace (a funeral home).

All donations will be going toward the purchase of a house. I'm still awaiting payment of the severance package - 6 weeks worth of pay - and have put out a couple dozen applications. There's at least another month before any worry about losing the apartment is needed. I really hope to have a different (better paying) job by then.

Thank you all for sticking with me, reading the saga, sharing this around, and being so generous!

[skuldsbane]

Hi all!

Thank you for being patient in waiting for updates. Between the job hunt, the household being hit with COVID, and internet issues caused by the (still) ongoing construction, it's been a struggle.

But the good news - we broke $1000!

It's all thanks to you and your amazing generosity. We could not have gotten this far without each and every one of you, so thank you!

Things are still tight, but in the past month I've had a few interviews, with another one a bit later this morning, and have followed a few more leads. The bills are still being paid on time and there's still plenty of food in the house. There's enough for another about month or so. Plenty of time to start another job and get caught up. Not only that, but if it's the one I'm hoping for, it will also be a significant raise, so there will be monies from that being put into this account as well.

Fingers crossed! I'm looking forward to the day we can post pictures of us unlocking the door to our house, so all of us can celebrate together!

Hello dear visitors!

The Owl doesn't usually do this, but this is one of our dearest and most valued friends.

If you are willing to donate at least 100$, we'll send you one of our illuminated works of your choice.

The rules are:

- min. 100$ donation

- send me the proof of the donation

- artwork will be no bigger than A4 size (21x29,7 cm)

Please be aware that once you've decided on the final design it might take me a while to finish the commission.

[creations-by-chaosfay]

Anyone who donates $5k or more will have the opportunity to win a free quilt, up to queen size if her goal is reached by November 1st. It can be a custom made quilt or one listed in my shop.

Example of my work below the cut:

[skuldsbane]

So, uh...

Somebody tried to kick in the door of the upstairs neighbor. He busted the lock and nearly got through before I decided to get involved (which was also about the time about half a dozen other people thought it was time to show up).

We laugh about the "annual homicide" here because if we don't, we cry. It just isn't safe here.

The man thing interviewed for a better job today. We're doing what we can. But we still need help.

[skuldsbane]

Found this today while coming back from the mailbox. Rather glad I don't live upstairs!

[skuldsbane]

Here we go!!

I promised an update with proof of the new account where all donations would be going. Here it is!

OK, so there's about $230 (after the GFM fees) missing, but only because it hasn't been transferred over from my main account yet.

In other news: the other half just signed on with a new company and sent in a resignation letter to the place he's been working. A part of that is a significant pay raise and better benefits! It will still take a long while, but the money being set aside (after he finishes paying for his car) will also be reflected in this account - so we can all celebrate together as we get closer to our goal! Thank you all again for your help! You're amazing people. Please keep spreading the word to more amazing people. I want you all to "be there" (via video) when we unlock the door for the first time!

[stitch-n-time]

Well THAT's a twist!

In the last couple of days life got turned upside down.

I'm doing my best to recover, and we're continuing on with plans as they have been for the moment. If the budget created by the severance package and 401k run out we'll reassess. Until that time we're going to keep on keeping on.

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Announces major changes to State Parks throughout Florida.

The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) announced an initiative yesterday proposing major changes to various State Parks throughout Florida.

Today, with only one week's notice, FDEP announced public meetings throughout the state scheduled for 3 p.m. on Tuesday, August 27th. The meetings will consist of a presentation and an opportunity for public comment, but with only an hour allotted, they do not appear to include a question-and-answer period.

To voice your concerns about these proposals and the lack of public participation, send your customizable email to the Governor, the Secretary of FDEP, and your state representatives. Adding your connection to Florida's State Parks in the email can help them understand how important this issue is to you, their constituent.

if you are able to make it to one of these, i strongly recommend you do. otherwise please send a message. we dont need fucking golf and pickleball in our already threatened natural areas

[weeberc3]

Sign the Petition

Protect Jonathan Dickinson State Park: stop the golf courses!

I'll add this petition regarding Jonathan Dickinson SP.

[floridensis]

Here is a link to the National Audobon Society post on the issue, which in turn links to their letter writing campaign. Please take the time to send one.

If you're not from Florida, your voice probably still matters a lot, since tourism is king

[todaysbird]

this is another thing Florida does not need in the series of climate & environment related hits from Ron DeSantis. please make your voice heard
