I think this is so neat and to all my trans followers - if you ever need help remembering just how valid and real you are, please look at this!
Happy Trans Day of Visibility to you all, trans people have always existed and will always exist, you're valid and loved and completely accepted with me and I support and love you to the moon and back and beyond.
sorry i was so weird but you invoked a topic i am incapable of being normal about
It’s scabbing and so it itches A LOT and I’m struggling a lot to not touch it... but it’s beautiful and perfect and everything I wanted.
Disclaimer: if you say a single word about ancient curses, I will rip your head off for your very Christian and Eurocentric approach toward ancient non-Western cultures. If you want to know more about my tattoo, the woman who had it close to two millennia before me, or my own reasons for the tattoo, I’m happy to answer those questions. If you tell me I’m cursed because you think everything ancient holds some magical and malevolent power, I will actually destroy you.
Dermatologists hate her! Achieve the complexion of a 1500 year old mummy with this one weird trick!
Historians going places like Blorbo From My Career Was Here 🥺
Archaeologists will get all excited because "my Blorbo was in this field!"
I’ve been seeing a lot of anti-Nazi ones, which is great, but I felt like we needed one to show our support for the Jewish community.
all you goyim I follow - I see you reblogging this and it warms me.
Belop.
How are ya doing my friend. I recently bought a kilt. It's cool.
Hello:)
I am doing good! I was dreading explaining to a medical professional why I was wood carving at 3 am, but it went fine and my thumb has been taped together.
A kilt sounds iconic, great purchase💯
Is it the puffins hatching in the summer at night and try to go to the ocean but they confused by the street lights and houses do you catch them and release them by the ocean to help them!?
(Could not find og post nor be bothered to try).
No, but good guess! I'm taking care of an eider duck nesting and making sure the predators don't get to them, which includes staying awake during low tide to look out for the fox:)
A Roman doll with moveable joints and accessories was found in the sarcophagus of Crepereia Tryphaena, an unmarried 20-year-old woman. The sarcophagus is dated to the late 100s (2nd c. AD) making the ivory “Crepereia Doll” nearly two thousand years old.

One thing about historians is that I am convinced that they are all a little bit in love with the people they study. These biographies all have physical descriptions of the subjects that basically amount to "he was hot"
As an archaeology student, I can confirm
Quick rant about African homophobia but the fact that white people will really say "ooh X country hates gay people, they're so backward and barbaric" is incredibly insulting.
As far as Africa is concerned, homophobia can't be disconnected from Christian colonizers. The erasure of queer history can be tied to them and has led to some of the most radical shifts toward homosexuality I've ever seen.
Take Uganda, everyone's favourite homphobic punching bag. Few would believe that Uganda had a gay king. If you've only heard of Kabaka Mwanga through European writings you would believe that he was gay (which the Europeans claimed he gained from the barbaric Arabs) However, some modern Ugandan scholars believe he was bi as he slept with his wives and male pages. The missionaries used this narrative to claim he was possessed by demons leading him to burn Christian martyrs.
While the killing of the martyrs was obviously wrong, the British used his sexuality to undermine his power and colonize Uganda. ( This was around the same time Oscar Wilde was put on trial ) This is just one example of the British weaponising homophobia as they spread it throughout Uganda.
Other examples include the erasure of lesbian marriage in certain tribes and the condemning of male wives and female husbands (given my lack of resources on them, I can't say they were trans but they certainly didn't fit the mold that colonialism forced on them) The fact is that modern homophobia in Africa can be traced back to colonialism and Christianity.
While this does not mean Africa was a woke™ haven, it does show how insidious remarks about it's homophobia can be. With the knowledge that these attitudes have been stoked throughout the past two centuries, it becomes easier to divorce African identity and homophobia. This goes against the stereotype that non-white communities are socially regressive, often having sexist/homophobic structures.
This doesn't absolve any Africans of their homophobia but rather seeks to explain some of it and add nuance to the discussion of LGBT rights in Africa.
TLDR: Colonization erased queer history in Africa. this doesn't absolve Africa of its homophobia but it's necessary to understand the role of colonization in it
Actually it is morally correct to set missionaries on fire.
i'm losing my mind @ this thread......historie......
also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.
oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated he then revealed that the original xbox logo...
is a sourdough boule
I do realise that one day I will have to stop putting memes in my university projects and that not all professors have the same sense of humor. But.
rating languages according to how many Zs you'll find in an average sentence. every Z loses a point. old irish is cruising through to achieving perfect language status. old french however is crying in the corner
