Ah the dreaded description we have met yet again. I never know what to put into you and end up babbling and adding too much. I know your tricks now. All you get is history, comics, and really childish humor. You get nothing more you evil description you..

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.

[cumleak-deactivated20210627]

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

She wore a fake beard, you guys. She was the fucking boss.

[ruthlessdilettante]

If we remember her now does that save her from an awful afterlife?

[awenyddogamulosx-blog]

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?” 

[airdramon]

Then she punches Tuthmosis III straight in the dick.

[aydenisabadkid]

Reblog so Hatshepsut can dick punch tuthmosis in the afterlife.

Texas cops seize lawn-sign depicting GOP elephant as sexual predator

Spinkter sez, “Hamilton, Texas’s Marion Stanford’s homemade political sign was meant to support the #MeToo movement and spur people to vote. But the accompanying visual spurred criticism – and a visit from law enforcement.”

The cop called it “pornography” and said she could take it down voluntarily, permit the cops to confiscate it, or get arrested.

The sign was painted in commemoration of the Republican Senate’s affirmation of a serial rapist to a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court.

This seems like a clear and unambiguous first amendment case. I’m sure nothing will matter, and the oppressive and unconstitutional bullying by the right wing police dickhead will stand, unchallenged, because I guess that’s the country we live in, now.

“Crazy Dion” Diamond at one of his sit-ins as a teenager in Arlington, VA. June 10, 1960

via reddit

[kaylapocalypse-deactivated20201]

All of those people around him are demons

[chemicallywrit]

hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:

he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man

he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?

when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times

the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)

he’s still alive!

hark, a hero of our times!

Clint: I want to ‘phoon into the pool. I’m not gonna have time to get down the ladder, probably.

Justin:  So many childhood summer days have been wrecked by the power of the ‘phoon. My worry has now pivoted, I am no longer concerned for my dad’s imaginary character. I am now concerned for this poor tendril getting ready to get his shop wrecked!

Griffin: Can you explain what a ‘phoon is to our audience?

Clint: A ‘phoon is a dive invented by my cousin Tom Neil, that- imagine a jack-knife, but you do the jack-knife and you don’t unfold, so you get all the worst elements of a belly flop, but even more because it impacts all of your body.

Travis: So it is both punishment for the other people in the pool, but mostly a way that one might give penance for something terrible they’ve done.

It must be so easy for the cryptid side of Kepler to mess with the quaint tourism folks. (Also, Ned’s gotta start promoting his future new Bigfoot feature somehow.)

[keplercryptids]

[image description: a comic starting with Kirby and Ned inside the Cryptonomica. There are many glass cases around the room, containing various objects, as well as paintings and stuffed animal heads mounted on the wall. Kirby is a thin, pale-complexioned man with shaggy brown hair and glasses. He’s leaning against a glass case, holding a can of soda and asking Ned, “Which sign are you putting up this time?” Ned, a thin man with pale skin, dark brown hair, a long beard and tinted glasses, is reaching into a different case and says, “An oldie, but goodie.” The new sign is placed next to some hair samples in test tubes, in front of a cast of a large footprint, and reads: “To learn more about the Forest Service’s research on Bigfoot migration patterns, contact the Monongahela National Forest: Kepler Ranger Station” with official-looking logos on the bottom.

The next scene shows Duck and a female ranger behind the desk at the ranger station. Duck is a thin man with brown skin and dark brown hair pulled into a short ponytail. The female ranger is talking to a tourist while Duck smiles and says into a phone, “Monongahela Ranger Station, this is Ranger Newton speaking. What was that, ma’am?” He looks incredulous as he says, “You’re…asking when we last saw Bigfoot.” The female ranger smiles over her shoulder at him and says, “Ha! Ned must have pulled that ol’ sign back out.” End Id.]
