The Gods/Goddesses: stop smoking weed and calling it an offering

Me, about to hit this fat blunt: blessed be, bitches

systlin:

Sure can, lots of flowers are edible!

Partial list;

Violets (tasty and sweet) and their cousins johnny jump ups and pansies. Often candied for use as garnishes. 

Roses (taste like roses smell). Delicious in tea, but is a mild laxative so use sparingly. Used to flavor cakes, cookies, and syrups for ages. Also often candied. 

Marigolds, both french and pot. Zesty, tangy, used as a saffron substitute. Calendula (pot marigold) is soothing to people with Crohn’s disease and IBS if drunk as a tea. As someone with IBS, I use it often. 

Daylilies. Flowers and buds are both tasty in stir-fries or fritters. 

Dandelions; delicious as fritters, make beautiful jelly, tea is a diuretic and high in vitamins. I snack on the unopened buds as nibble food while weeding the garden. 

All species of mint; Taste like the mint it came from. Lovely garnishes, can be used in tea or wherever you would normally use mint. 

Carnations and pinks; used to flavor syrups for centuries. Spicy and sweet. Good candied.

Lavender; used for medicine, flavoring cakes and cookies, and also lavender tea is simply divine. 

Hibiscus; I adore hibiscus flower tea. Tart and lovely. 

Nasturtiums; Flavor is peppery and they are excellent in salads. 

This is by no means a complete list but it should get you started!

hello i have learnt more spider facts

• spiders will pull their own legs clean off if they get damaged because most of them can regrow legs during molting, which explains why you often see spiders missing a leg but never any missing half a leg?
• some remarkably distressing scientists proved this by getting a spider to pull off all of its legs and then feeding its limbless torso for months until it sprouted a full complement of legs again and then hopefully used them to get the fuck out of dodge
• baby spiders don’t get lenses until their first molt and before that they just have baby eyes and while this ought not to be any weirder than the concept of baby teeth, welp,
• there are so many spiders floating around thousands of metres up in the air that they’re described as “aerial plankton”
• The Sky Is Full Of Spiders
• there are spider-parasitising spiders but instead of laying eggs in organs or stealing blood or anything like that they just ride on top of bigger spiders and steal snacks when their mighty steed is eating
• there are ant-mimicking spiders that use their disguises to raid ant nests and w/e but there are also ant mimics that just. hang out. they make fake ant colonies full of fake ants. sometimes the actual ants that they’re mimicking find their house and live with them. stealth 100
• some mother spiders live in communal family nests, where multiple mothers can work together to bring down bigger prey while all their collected babies are cared for by the babysitters
• some mother spiders feed their babies mouth to mouth like birds
• some mother spiders carry their babies around and i was aware of this but not the fact that if you steal their eggsac they’ll freak out and search for it for hours and sometimes end up adopting anything that’s vaguely the right size, they will carry around empty snail shells for weeks and lovingly dote on them…
• guys i am literally about to cry over spider moms
