Working somewhere that uses radios is so funny sometimes like you overhear

Dispatch: "[station]2, go ahead"

[station]2: "kskdkfkfkgkgjshsh"

Dispatch: "copy"

[sadgi]

can I get a job as an editor but the only thing I do is correct when someone uses the word "prone" when they mean "supine"

[sadgi]

thank you wikipedia for this really good image

[sadgi]

a helpful mnemonic for everyone

[talkwithtatsu]

too good for tags

[headspace-hotel]

This mnemonic has a permanent place in my life.

Every time in yoga class when my instructor would say "now get into a prone position" I would think "ah yes on your pronis"

There is nothing I love more than fanfiction written by non-American English speakers who don't try to pander to a broader demographic by switching to American vernacular. Lean into that Aussie English, you mad cunt. Use metres instead of feet. Spell metres as metres. Set that modern AU in Salisbury. Call that character's mum their mum. Use form instead of grade. I don't know what forms or grades are, I'm from New Zealand. What the fuck is a sophomore?

[farads]

I understand semaphore better than sophomore

Controversial Truths About Ancient Egypt Masterpost

The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction

The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity

We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either

Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender

The gods didn’t actually have animal heads

Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)

The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous

Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are “there is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicity”

[thatlittleegyptologist]

The carvings at Abydos aren’t modern machines but recarvings over old carvings. Sure they look like them but if you can read hieroglyphs and know that Ramesses II will even usurp the carvings of his own father just to be a little shit

[rudjedet]

‘No soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!’ is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad “batteries”

While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago 

The pyramid is the simplest, sturdiest shape with which to build and many different cultures discovered this in their own time. There were never any weird fish humans/aliens involved

[rudjedet]

The sphinx of Gizah is only an approximate 5000 years old; the 10,000 year/rain erosion nonsense is proven hokum

Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose

Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards

Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”

The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)

[rudjedet]

While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didn’t actually worship cats themselves. This was a later Greek/Ptolemaeic addition

It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that

Herodotus lied about a lot of things and many misconceptions about ancient Egypt can be traced back to his Greek ass

[rudjedet]

I can’t believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On

Seth was not the god of “evil”, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasn’t completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies

[rudjedet]

Hats off to the few of you who’re reblogging this with tags saying you’re going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.

[chronic-backpain]

Excuse me please post ancient erotica link

[rudjedet]

Inspired by an old drawing of yours: Can you draw Viggo and Wormwood together lol

What is the “it” they’re exploding? The edge

[farads]

@lilliths-matori-blog I saw wormwood and it made me think of you

The 10 Levels of Charlos and Physical Touch (PART 1)

Exploring Charlos' relationship with physical contact.

(this can be read in a shippy light, but my intent is actually to showcase the ease and comfort they portrayed next to each other even as rivals, and make some jokes because that's what we're here for. Please be advised that this is all for fun.)

Level 1: High fives!

First Charlos 1-2 baby

Level 2: Personal space? Don't know her.

Carlos/Charles loves his personal space. Charles/Carlos also loves Carlos/Charles personal space.

Level 3: Hand holding! (or hand pulling as it was most of the time)

Level 4: Head on shoulder??

Level 5: Waist grab

(Yes, we know, Carlos. We know, you can stop.)

Level 6: Thigh grab (Carlos?? Charles??)

Level 7: Butt smacking (Yes, I know this is a staple in like, every sport. But lets think of an outsider's perspective in all this, yes?)

Level 8: Head cupping! (Don't even have to mention the perpetrator here)

(stay tuned for part 2! because I went over the image limit :D)
