Thinking about that time someone called me a "sweet summer child" and I very much feel like calling me a "bitter winter elder" would be so much more appropriate.

prom™️@Em0nM4stodon as a manthing I’m kinda proud I get called “witch”. it’s a title, isn’t it!?
@promovicz It is now, Witch Prom 🤘
@Em0nM4stodon you might know: in German the feminine word for “hacker” is “Häckse”, which is often pronounced like “Hexe” (witch).
@promovicz Ha! Awesome! I love it! 
Infrapink (he/his/him)@promovicz @Em0nM4stodon Yeah, 'witch' was originally a gender-neutral term for one who trucks with the devil for the illusion of magic powers. For, ahem, *reasons*, it came to be coded as female. This was recent enough that Tolkien called the leader of the Nazgûl the Witch-King without irony.
Interestingly, most of the people executed for witchcraft in Scandinavia were men due to different cultural ideas about magic.
Shoe BillI am absolutely stealing that one. For myself. Thank you.

I had to look it up.
It's called Witches Brew Cocktail and it is non-alcoholic. It is mainly made from blueberries and blackberries which gave this drink such a beautiful color. 🙂
here is the recipe:

To make it a true bitter winter elder just add a drop of a bitter syrup and a drop of elder flower syrup.😁
(i know nothing and of course at first used the search term bitter winter elder 😁 before a simple picture search did its thing)
@catflyhigh @the @Em0nM4stodon
You could also make elderberry syrup - i made some with cloves in as a winter cough mixture!

SarcastiCat@Em0nM4stodon Now that you have identified "bitter winter elder", I think there may be a whole genus of us...
