KAT??????!?!??!!?

I only just saw this asdfghjkl HELLO yes all will become clearer in later chapters maybe (you may wish it didn't)

  Hapo my darling I hardly understand anything you’re saying but I need you to know it’s still hilarious and I love and super support you going back to school for a PhD just to chew people out. RESPECT FOR HESTIA 2K21                          

I am able to explain a Little i promise it wont be horrible but essentially

Hestia is the goddess of the hearth. She is basically the personification of the hearth. Guess who has a fire pit? EVERYONE in ancient Greece, and if you don't have one it is also ok to borrow a friends or neighbours. This means that Hestia gets an offering every day from Everyone who remembers to pay her respects, not just in mainland Greece but wherever Greeks settled.

Homer, the most quoted and respected poet and the nearest thing we have to a canon for Greek religion (well, in literature, which to my annoyance scholars keep holding over the rest of day to day life) says to pour one out for our lady first and last before any other offering because shes the one making sure you've got a roof over your head and food to eat at the end of the day.

And we have academics who shall not be named who think her saying No Thank You to everyone whos ever been attracted to her and her quietly avoiding WWIII by giving up her throne as one of the twelve olympians so her weird half-mortal genderfluid nephew could sit with the big kids ISN'T COLOURFUL or INTERESTING?????

I am just tired of these (lets be real) everyday, mundane, feminine aspects of Greek religion getting overlooked because there's no fuck/marry/kill involved in the stories about her. And I am annoyed that publications used as undergrad textbooks don't hide their dislike of it.

 hey hapo that’s gay      

UR gay   

also I feel this on a spiritual level WHAT’S MOVING, PRECIOUS                    

us working on our next masterpieces

Oh, this is great, dude! I'm into it! The battle scene was easy to follow and you made Barry a BADASS, which I appreciate. Did you have plans to make it into something bigger?

Why thank you! Always nice to know I’ve made something physical easy to follow, especially given how poor I am at conceptualizing 3D spaces myself.

I do plan to continue it, although I’m not sure how big of a thing it’ll be! It simply arose from a desire to write a concept, and then the introduction segment for that concept got kind of long, and so I just ended up posting the intro as the first part...

Anyhoo, it’s mostly for fun, but I’m hoping to write more of it soon. It’s been too long!

Oh buddy, let me tell you about the Debert-Belmont PaleoIndian (Sa’qewe’l L’nu’k) Site Complex.

It was first identified in 1948 and partially excavated in the 1960s. The site is deposited in what we refer to as a massive sand event, and it’s the reason why in Nova Scotia we sometimes dig sites to “Debert Standards” (meaning we must dig shovel tests to 1.2m deep and then continue by hand-augering if we haven’t hit glacial till or a refusal on bedrock).

Debert is among the oldest and arguably the most significant sites in North America, and it includes both primary contexts (original sites that were buried including hearths and other elements of habitation sites) and secondary contexts (sites/objects that may have washed down from higher ground, making predictive modelling very difficult and necessitating very thorough shovel testing). Radiocarbon dating places this site at minimum 11,000 years old, and most local archaeologists agree it’s probably more like 13,000 years old.

(Above is from the report of the awesome geologist Ralph Stea - http://www.steasurficial.ca/pdf/dbsite.pdf)

The site is known for some very distinctive and very ancient artifact types, such as fluted points, and it seems that the area was a seasonal encampment site for early big game hunters - Nova Scotia had a lot of very large animals at that time, which was around the close of the last ice age.

Other signs of very ancient sites have been identified in Nova Scotia, but Debert is definitely the most complete and well-documented - most of the other material in Nova Scotia have been tantalizing isolated finds instead of in situ sites. Sometimes scallop draggers in the Bay of Fundy will kick up a stone ulu, since millennia ago the Bay was dry land, and the knives are about the right size and shape to be caught by something designed to bring up scallops.

Debert, and First Nations sites in general, are very much not my specialty - I’m an industrial archaeologist and a buildings archaeologist, but as a consultant I need to know a little about every archaeological period in NS as I might be called to work on any of them. So, I’ll leave you with this link for some more detailed info:

Hapo is a person of CULTURE listen that minimalist stuff isn't going to be comforting anyone in the 12+ hours of dark when the sun is a figment of a long ago dream and your seasonal depression hits you like a status effect. Give me COLOUR and SNUGGLY TEXTURES and WELL-WORN MATERIAL BUILT WITH LOVE

i felt every word of this so deeply i have to lie down

i say hygge can be whatever you make of it! no rules just coze! maybe looking for cottagecore would broaden the color palette a little?
