the literal laughing stock on the world. (video here.)
THEREāS A TWEET FOR EVERYTHING
Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt. She has a lovely smile for someone whoās been dead for thousands of years.
she wasnāt a queen. she was a pharaoh and wanted to be referred to as such.Ā she even had her statues modeled after the male pharaohās statues to state her dominance and authority. she was actually one of the most successful pharaohs in all of ancient egyptian history and she reigned longer than any other woman in power in egypt.
damn no wonder she died and smiled for a trillion years afterwards
The fact that we know about her is marvelous.
the next Pharaoh after her Tuthmosis IIIĀ tried to erase Hatshepsut out of history ,chiseled her name off her monuments ,covered the text on her obelisks with stone,knocked down and defaced her statues .
she was even left off the list of pharaohs ..talk about some patriarchy bullshit
her name was lost for a couple of millennia, her body was found in a unmarked graveĀ in early twentieth century
sad part is in Egyptian belief isĀ if your are forgotten in the living world you donāt exist in the afterlife,so he was trying to kill her even in deathĀ
My best friend throwing down some herstory. A+ commentary
She wore a fake beard, you guys. She was the fucking boss.
If we remember her now does that save her from an awful afterlife?
Iām just picturing the Kemetic afterlife. All the Pharaohs are hanging out in some kind of swanky club, drinking and congratulating each other on being bros.Ā
The doors slam open and Hatshepsut strides in, glorious, robes swirling, rocking the fake beard and the insane amounts of wealth and power. āMiss me, bitches?āĀ
Then she punches Tuthmosis III straight in the dick.
Reblog so Hatshepsut can dick punch tuthmosis in the afterlife.
Episode 1018: Rebooted Robomi
Translator Notes:
If anyone is curious,Ā āSpinny Stabby Drillā is called āBore Gore Bitā in Japanese.Ā Yup - Hallessena gives things silly names there, too!Ā The English name is actually fairly clever - itās nicely alliterative, uses more natural-sounding language, and also maintains the same threatening connotations ofĀ āit creates holes in both walls and organic thingsā.
Also, since Japanese kanji characters are ideographic, meaning that the characters represent an idea rather than a syllable, her weapon also has a Japanese written name that would be pronounced differently fromĀ āBore Gore Bitā, which is 廻天ę³.Ā This would likely be pronounced kaiten-ken, which requires some explanation.Ā By itself, this meansĀ āworld-changing fistā, but the termĀ kaitenĀ has some extra connotations in Japanese culture - it was the name given to manned suicide torpedos used by the Japanese navy in World War II, similar to kamikaze, which literally meansĀ ādivine windā but has extra connotations ofĀ āsuicide craftā.Ā Thereās really no way to meaningfully translate this into English without giving a treatise in Japanese linguistics and cultural history, so I can understand why the localizers didnāt bother attempting to bring this to the English script.
Episode 1017: Vyrnple Foolsā
Translator Notes:
Go figure - I learned an English word while translating this Japanese comic!Ā I had never heard of birdlime before, but this comic makes specific reference to it, so I figured Iād better leave it in.Ā Also, fun fact: the pun with that and Vyrnās name works in both languages.Ā The Japanese word for birdlime is torimochi, and Vyrnās Japanese name is Bi, so the pun in Japanese is tobimochi, which works in the exact same way.Ā Neat!
Grand Blues 997 Sandalphon Again
[After arriving at Canaan, the crew meets a Sandalphon who has given up on everything and secluded himself in a mysterious world.] Lyria: āPlease! Letās leave this place and go save Lucifer-san together!ā Angel of Vengeance, Sandalphon: āThe Supreme Archangelā¦? No⦠someone like me would never be able to be of help to him.ā
Sa: āBecause my power⦠doesnāt even so much as reach the level of his feet, you see.ā Ly: āThatāsā¦!? You wanted to be of use to Lucifer-san, didnāt you!?ā Vy: āSo this guyās stiiill all messed up over how Lucifer feels, huh?ā Vy: āThatā so lame, Sandalphon!ā
Sa: āShut up! What would you know about it!?ā Sa: āThereās an unimaginable gap between Lucifer and I!ā Vy: āWhat do you think, Meteon?ā Meteon, who piloted the speed ship: āHm? If thereās a gap, donāt you just have to close it?ā
Me: āNo matter who you are, when you first start out thereās a huge time gap between you and the leader.ā Me: āBut through practice, you can shrink that gap by one second, then another, and that ends up being fun itself.ā Me: āIf youāre a racer, even a kid would get it?ā Sa: āGuhā¦!?ā
Sa: āUWOOOOOOOOOH!! SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!ā SANDALGONE Me: āEhh!?ā Vy: Aw crap⦠for a guy like him who was forced to live his life as a backup⦠Vy: The words of someone like Meteon who shot straight for the top through effort alone is just too muchā¦!

āPatty Jenkins worked really hard with her team to design a style of fighting that was incredibly badass, and believable. Where Batman will punch somebody in the face, and thatās effective, thatās not how the Amazons and Diana fight. They have a disciplined specialized, collaborative fighting style. They work together as a team, and leverage each otherās strengths. They are mighty, they are beautiful. And as the Germans learn, this new breed of badass warrior women are deadly.ā
Bayard Rustin was an openly gay Black man who was Martin Luther Kingās right hand man. He planned the Million Man March and was subject to scrutiny for his sexuality and deemed a ādeviantā and āpervertā.
Bayard Rustin can be found in nearly every picture of MLK yet he has undoubtedly been erased from history. We have to fix that.
Well then, letās bring that name back.
Bayard Rustin, openly gay, human rights activist, proud black man.
(the guy on the left in case you wondered)
Yeah he was literally the guy who was the head of planning the March on Washington.
If you want to learn more about him, thereās a great documentary on him called Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin
You can watch the full documentary here (until March 31st, 2016)
I did a research project on him, Ella Baker, Claudette Colvin and Stokely Carmichael comparing their contributions to the Civil Rights Movement to the lack of recognition and misrepresentation they received in commonly used high school American History textbooks. All of these people played major roles in the Civil Rights Movementāalmost on par with MLKāyet they go largely unnoticed or unfairly pushed aside not only during their time, but even now in classes on American History. These men and women deserve to be remembered.
The tally leaves supporters just one vote shy of the 51 required to pass a Senate resolution of disapproval, in a legislative gambit aimed at restoring the agency's net neutrality rules.
STOP SCROLLING STOP SCROLLING
STOP SCROLLING STOP SCROLLING
PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS THERE IS HOPE
Let us march on ballot boxes, march on ballot boxes until race-baiters disappear from the political arena.
Let us march on ballot boxes until the salient misdeeds of bloodthirsty mobs will be transformed into the calculated good deeds of orderly citizens.
Let us march on ballot boxes until the Wallaces of our nation tremble away in silence.
Let us march on ballot boxes until we send to our city councils state legislatures, and the United States Congress, men who will not fear to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with thy God.
Let us march on ballot boxes until brotherhood becomes more than a meaningless word in an opening prayer, but the order of the day on every legislative agenda.
Let us march on ballot boxes until all over Alabama Godās children will be able to walk the earth in decency and honor.
These words come from the speech delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the conclusion of the 1965 march to Montgomery, Alabama. The march brought national attention to the issue of racial discrimination in voting. The Voting Rights Act, a landmark piece of Civil Rights legislation, became law just five months later.Ā
Photographs, broadsides, and other materials related to Dr. Kingās legacy are now on view in the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library reading room.

BBC made a Planet Earth parody called Round Planet and itās amazing
Imagine planet earth but the narration is ridiculous and hilarious
Available on Netflix in the US [as of December 2017], this seems exactly like something a Space Australia-type person might make to introduce aliens to Earth.
After all:
