best girl yukon making some fireweed tea hell yeah

i grew up with fireweed in my yard but I didn't know you could make tea out of it until I was an adult. I keep trying to steal some to plant but I haven't had success yet, so this year I got some seeds from a swap that I'm starting indoors (along with some other things that are notorious for spreading haha) (I won't rest until I eradicate my lawn).

Anyway, I think you can make a tea out of both the leaves and the flowers, so it'll be fun to try.

Ok it's dark and under 20 degrees but it doesn't appear to be raining hrm

The place doesn't open til noon at which point the rain risk should be lower but I'm trying to convince myself that I deserve to get ice cream rain or shine after zoom hell these past two weeks :/;;

Today is also the only reasonable day to use the oven this week so I need to. Consider. How to keep alive through the week..

Wow that post blew up today - I figure I should just say hi to anyone stopping by this blog and say something about me for those on mobile who can't see my about?

Hi I'm Hapo, I'm a recent grad of a museum/info studies degree and my previous degrees were in classics. I wrote my master's on an archaic greek site and I kind of like standing at that weird crossroads between archaeology, literature and whatever the hell else is going on. I like writing about gender and greek religion and cultural memory and I'm thinking a lot about syncretism between greek and other religions.

I haven't studied classics formally in a few years and I'm a little rusty but I'm using the global panini as an opportunity to read some classic lit from cover to cover (in translation) that I wasn't able to read in full while I was a full time student. I liveblog my casual reading of the Histories on Wednesdays as #hapo reads herodotus and I do the Iliad on Thursdays under #hapo reads the iliad. These, like I said, are just casual gut reactions and more meant as a mnemonic for primary sources so that if I or anyone wanted to investigate further they could - there's no serious academic treatise material here (yet lol) it's just for funsies until I bully myself into a phd.

Other than that and the odd historical post I reblog a lot of art and fic for some other niche personification oc related stuff and if you're not vibing with that it's fine. I've got a dumb comic featuring personified greek city states I wrote in my undergrad here @athensandspartaadventures. I post more rarely on my studyblr now that I'm finished school but you might find some more academic stuff on @lazylacadaemon up your alley. I also do art commissions so check out my art blog @acetechne :3

Yeah! Hi! Thanks for dropping by and the kettle is on if you want anything.
