I tried to set the scene, but the devices were uninterested.

Siri

OMG Siri?  Are you telling me that my light sockets have grown SENTIENCE so much so that they are BUSY doing something else when I try to turn them on?

every ot3 has these very important roles:

  • person a, who runs headlong into crazy bullshit
  • person b, who acts like they’re too sensible to

    run headlong into crazy bullshit, but is really just as bad as person a

  • person c, who actually tries to avoid running headlong into crazy bullshit, but keeps getting dragged into it by the other two anyway

I have read (and see) something about Hades and Persephone having chickens in the underworld, but this is really a fact or is something invent?

Chickens were indeed sacred to Hades and Persephone and an example of this are the  terracotta votive tablets from Locri -the ones of the pictures-. There are some books about this subject like Iconography of Religions by Bianchi or Locrian Maidens by Redfield.

The cock/chicken “became the chthonic bird, and was used on tombs, as emblematic of the hope of a reawakening to life”. (Peters) and it is also refered as “an infernal animal of passage” by Bernabe in his book Instructions for the Netherworld: the orphic gold tablets.He also says: ”Cocks allude to the world of the afterlife: as intermediaries between the soul and the Beyond, they intercede between the world of the dead and that of the living”.

Remember Persephone was the goddess of renewal, so at least in Locri, the cock was an usual attribute of her. And in other cultures cocks-chickens were seen as animals related to renewal and life (eggs have that symbolism tooo).

😀 so. chickens for Hades and Persephone all the way.

(sources 1 – 2 – 3)

I KNEW chickens were sacred, I just didn’t know to whom

“Why did the chicken cross the road?”

“To intercede between the world of the living and that of the dead, as intermediaries between the soul and Beyond.”

“You mean…to get to the Other Side?”

“….yes.”

Is it weird that I get a little bit excited when the seed catalogs show up in my mailbox?

Sounds like I got another month or so behind you, before I’m going to see any kind of green anything springing up.  BUT, I’ve finally learned and ordered my plants in January before everything I want is out of stock.  Still felt a little strange to be thinking about planting while shivering under an arctic air mass.  Going with a simpler color scheme this year.

Happy hunting!

I, for one, welcome our new ice cream cephalopod overlords. What better way to beat the summer heat than with this tentacular treat, the Colossal Squid Ice Cream Cone from Giapo, a gelato shop in Aukland, NZ.

Giapo created the ice cream and chocolate kraken to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the arrival of the very first colossal squid specimen at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Watch this video to see how the Squid-cream cone is assembled:
