got too drunk last night and granted someone a boon
I think Shirley Jackson delves so well into the horror of self-consciousness. To be so aware of yourself, whether due to loneliness or not belonging or abuse, can be a monstrous experience that reduces your experience of the world to a series of mechanical processes. I will get up. I will cross the room in front of everyone. I will get a cup of water. I must drink the cup of water before I return in case it is odd to have it on the couch. They must not think I'm odd. Instead of swinging into the kitchen for a drink while laughing with friends. Mechanical processes are based on cause and effect, and if you are so used to thinking in terms of cause and effect, you can start applying that framework nonsensically out of a self-defensive need for control--which begs the question of what happens when defense becomes offense
I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.
Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
so metropolitan museum of art has a register of books theyâve published that are out of print and that you can download for free! theyâre mostly books on art, archeology, architecture, fashion and history and i just think thatâs super useful and interesting so i wanted to share! you can find all of the books available here!
happy pride to the gay people in my computer <3
Before the summer starts, I ask my students if there are any songs they wanna learn for the summer so I can prepare either music sheet or chord diagrams for them.
Usually it's children songs, cartoon songs or the beatles.
This 9 year old, who is in the 1st grade in music school, brought a list where at least 4 of the songs were from an obscure post punk band i had to google. not what i expected lmaooo
Happy #WorldTurtleDay! Hereâs a kind turtle helping a monkey out with a ride, from the Lights of Canopus, a 19th-century Persian version of an ancient Indian collection of animal fables. More here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/illustrations-from-the-lights-of-canopus-1847
I literally CANNOT read the words "supine" or "prone" in anything without thinking about that post that's like "supine is when you lay on your s(u)pine and prone is when you lay on your pronis"
just found out you can do more than one thing each day. i was just doing the one
this literally isn't true please stop spreading lies

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 âlightbulbâ is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity
We didnât find âââcopper wiringâââ in the great pyramid either
Hatshepsut wasnât transgender
The gods didnât actually have animal heads
Hieroglyphs arenât mysteriously magical; theyâre just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)
The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasnât homogeneous
Noses (and ears, and arms) broke off statues and reliefs for a variety of reasons, none of which are âthere is a widespread archaeological conspiracy to hide the Egyptian ethnicityâ
The carvings at Abydos arenât 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
âNo soot on the ceilings and walls of the Dendera temple!â is actually because of extensive restoration works and not because Egyptians were in on shit like Baghdad âbatteriesâ
While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didnât align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years agoÂ
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
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 âhereticâ by contemporary standards
Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessorsâ buildings/reliefs and isnât really deserving of the epithet âthe Greatâ
The Battle of Kadesh ended in a stalemate (twice)
While they had feline deities throughout their history, Egyptians didnât 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
I canât believe I forgot my favourite Hill to Die On
Seth was not the god of âevilâ, and despite his chaos providing a foil to order, he wasnât completely villified until very late in Egyptian history, when he became associated with despised foreign enemies
Hats off to the few of you whoâre reblogging this with tags saying youâre going to check my claims later. You make me not entirely despair of this hellhole.
Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:
Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids
Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt
Hornung, E., The One and the Many: Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt
Dunand, F. & Zivie-Coche, C., Gods and Men in Egypt
Kemp, B., Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization
Bard, K., An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
Stevenson Smith, W., The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt
Kitchen, K. A., The Life and Times of Ramesses II, King of Egypt
Sweeney, D., Sex and Gender (in Ancient Egypt)
McDowell, A. G., Village Life in Ancient Egypt:Â Laundry Lists and Love Songs
Te Velde, H., Seth, God of ConfusionÂ
Guys do me a solid and reblog this version instead of continuously asking for sources on the other versions thanks
Excuse me please post ancient erotica link
hey itâs not my fault people keep reblogging the version without it!
Me when I read a book by a famous author thatâs a modern classic and everyone says itâs really good and then itâs really good
It's fun being queer and weird and unconventional until you remember you live in a society
