THERE’S A TWEET FOR EVERYTHING

Queen Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt. She has a lovely smile for someone who’s been dead for thousands of years.

jillyaintfromphilly

she wasn’t a queen. she was a pharaoh and wanted to be referred to as such. she even had her statues modeled after the male pharaoh’s 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

inspect-hergadget

The fact that we know about her is marvelous.

the next Pharaoh after her Tuthmosis III 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 grave in early twentieth century

sad part is in Egyptian belief is if your are forgotten in the living world you don’t exist in the afterlife,so he was trying to kill her even in death

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?

I’m 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.

The doors slam open and Hatshepsut strides in, glorious, robes swirling, rocking the fake beard and the insane amounts of wealth and power. “Miss me, bitches?”

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, “Spinny Stabby Drill” is called “Bore Gore Bit” in Japanese. Yup - Hallessena gives things silly names there, too! The English name is actually fairly clever - it’s nicely alliterative, uses more natural-sounding language, and also maintains the same threatening connotations of “it creates holes in both walls and organic things”.

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 from “Bore Gore Bit”, which is 廻天拳. This would likely be pronounced kaiten-ken, which requires some explanation. By itself, this means “world-changing fist”, but the term kaiten 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 means “divine wind” but has extra connotations of “suicide craft”. There’s 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 didn’t bother attempting to bring this to the English script.

Episode 1017: Vyrnple Fools’

Translator Notes:

Go figure - I learned an English word while translating this Japanese comic! I had never heard of birdlime before, but this comic makes specific reference to it, so I figured I’d better leave it in. Also, fun fact: the pun with that and Vyrn’s name works in both languages. The Japanese word for birdlime is torimochi, and Vyrn’s Japanese name is Bi, so the pun in Japanese is tobimochi, which works in the exact same way. 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: “Please! Let’s leave this place and go save Lucifer-san together!” Angel of Vengeance, Sandalphon: “The Supreme Archangel…? No… someone like me would never be able to be of help to him.”

Sa: “Because my power… doesn’t even so much as reach the level of his feet, you see.” Ly: “That’s…!? You wanted to be of use to Lucifer-san, didn’t you!?” Vy: “So this guy’s stiiill all messed up over how Lucifer feels, huh?“ Vy: “That’ so lame, Sandalphon!”

Sa: “Shut up! What would you know about it!?” Sa: “There’s an unimaginable gap between Lucifer and I!” Vy: “What do you think, Meteon?” Meteon, who piloted the speed ship: “Hm? If there’s a gap, don’t you just have to close it?”

Me: “No matter who you are, when you first start out there’s a huge time gap between you and the leader.” Me: “But through practice, you can shrink that gap by one second, then another, and that ends up being fun itself.” Me: “If you’re a racer, even a kid would get it?” Sa: “Guh…!?”

Sa: “UWOOOOOOOOOH!! SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUP!!!” SANDALGONE Me: “Ehh!?” 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 much…!

“Patty 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 that’s effective, that’s not how the Amazons and Diana fight. They have a disciplined specialized, collaborative fighting style. They work together as a team, and leverage each other’s strengths. They are mighty, they are beautiful. And as the Germans learn, this new breed of badass warrior women are deadly.”

Bayard Rustin was an openly gay Black man who was Martin Luther King’s right hand man. He planned the Million Man March and was subject to scrutiny for his sexuality and deemed a “deviant” and “pervert”.

Bayard Rustin can be found in nearly every picture of MLK yet he has undoubtedly been erased from history. We have to fix that.

skeletonmug

Well then, let’s bring that name back.

Bayard Rustin, openly gay, human rights activist, proud black man.

metrospotting-deactivated202104

(the guy on the left in case you wondered)

gaypriori

Yeah he was literally the guy who was the head of planning the March on Washington.

If you want to learn more about him, there’s 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 Movement—almost on par with MLK—yet 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

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 God’s 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.

Photographs, broadsides, and other materials related to Dr. King’s legacy are now on view in the Patricia D. Klingenstein Library reading room.
