@populationtyre
so there’s this improv comedy show called Make Some Noise. in season 3 episode 15 they play a game where they have to make up names for legally distinct off-brand cartoon characters.
as soon as i saw this one i immediately shouted at the screen XUANWU!!! and realised there is only a very small population of people who would understand
and that population is y'all
My god, he's been here the whole time.

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”
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
‘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
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)
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
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
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.
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: Laundry Lists and Love Songs
Te Velde, H., Seth, God of Confusion
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 it’s not my fault people keep reblogging the version without it!

Y'all claim this shit is feminist, but. If mixed facilities are a problem, and single sex facilities are also a problem (because it's not like those solved the issue of sexual predators), then we're like, hop, skip, and a jump away from "women should stop going outside because there are sexual predators".
It has nothing to do with the changing rooms or bathrooms. It has nothing to do with trans accessibility or lack thereof. It's the fucking sexual predators.
The « fucking sexual predators » who are
🥁🥁🥁🥁
Men !
this is a great example of the slippery slope fallacy. “if we don’t let men into women’s spaces, soon we’ll have to lock women inside their houses!!!” lmao. meanwhile the reality is that single-sex spaces are essential for making it safe for women to participate in public life
Nice try but the only way women would really be locked inside the house is specifically if we get rid of single sex-spaces. There's the whole phenomenon called the urinary leash, which takes for example single sex spaces for women with bathrooms, and how not having them tethers them to the home.
Gender-segregated bathrooms tell a story about who is and who is not welcome in public life.
On World Toilet Day 100 Women looks at the impact of the 'urinary leash' which keeps women at home.
So sure, single sex spaces don't solve the issue of predators, but it provides a certain amount of protection, such as having legal right to fight back against predators entering a private and intimate space. So it's still necessary.
JKR's a racist.

Only a deeply misogynist society would enshrine the ideals that womanhood can solely be defined by a feeling in a man’s head, but cannot be solely defined by women’s biology, our lived realities (and oppressions) faced by being female sexed.
this just in! it's misogynistic to say being a woman is a Feeling, and the correct thing is to reduce them to their body parts!
THIS! HOW THE FUCK can terfs claim to be fighting for women's autonomy and then reduce themselves to their genitals. What makes you a woman is all the other beautiful parts of your mind and soul. Just like trans people!
How the fuck can TRAs claim that trans women are women when they can’t even explain what a woman is? Calling womanhood a feeling is not a definition.
Do you not understand the difference between defining a woman as an adult human female and reducing women to only their organs? Or are you just arguing in bad faith?
I don’t understand why TRAs can’t seem to comprehend such a basic concept. A woman is an adult human female which means that women have vaginas and breasts and a uterus and ovaries (and there are many conditions which result in these not developing or being removed, but that’s a story for another day), but that doesn’t mean that a woman is ONLY these things. She can be many things but what makes her a woman specifically is her sex. Reducing a woman to her organs would be saying that her only purpose is to fuck/please men and have children, which has never been radfem arguments.
Do you apply the same logic to other groups? You can’t say someone is black because of the colour of their skin because that would reduce them to their skin colour? You can’t say someone is gay because they are attracted to the same sex because that reduces them to their sexuality? Or is it just when it comes to saying that women are adult human females that suddenly it means we can’t see them as a whole person but just this one aspect of them?
I'm telling you that by saying trans women have penises therefore they aren't women, is reducing them, and therefore yourself and definition of womanhood to genitals. How did you possibly twist what I just said as me doing that? Lol
That’s not what it means to reduce women and womanhood to genitals and organs. Please actually read my post.
For someone who goes around boasting about how they argue with TERFs, you’re fucking awful at it.
Obsessed with the fact that this really happened😳
When I was a student at Oxford, both C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien were lecturing there, Lewis magnificently and Tolkien badly and inaudibly, and the climate of opinion was such that people explained Lewis’s children’s books by saying ‘It’s his Christianity, you know,’ as if the books were the symptom of some disease, while of Tolkien they said he was wasting his time on hobbits when he should have been writing learned articles…
I imagine I caused Tolkien much grief by turning up to hear him lecture week after week, while he was trying to wrap his lectures up after a fortnight and get on with The Lord of the Rings (you could do that in those days, if you lacked an audience, and still get paid). I sat there obdurately despite all his mumbling and talking with his face pressed up to the blackboard, forcing him to go on expounding every week how you could start with a simple quest-narrative and, by gradually twitching elements as it went along, arrive at the complex and entirely different story of Chaucer’s Pardoner’s Tale – a story that still contains the excitement of the quest-narrative that seeded it. What little I heard of all this was wholly fascinating.

I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.
I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.
reblog if you remember having to ration your text messages and accidentally opening the internet on your phone was the end of the world
I remember when I got a slide phone with a full keypad and thought I’d made it. Three years later, the thing was obsolete.
I miss my Verizon enV2 literally every single day.
It was 1998 or thereabouts. I had a Palm Pilot V, which was the first with Internet. Crappy Internet, but Internet. Had a little antenna and everything. It fit into a pocket and I took that everywhere. I called it my patience device. I remember taking it to Disney World and standing in lines with it, playing on it rather than being impatient. I was the only one. People stared at me. I was a freak. Today? Everyone has one. And I'm still the freak, because I don't own a phone. I don't want a phone. Because I remember the days when connectivity was a choice.

cannot find the og post on here but saw this on pin and yeah this is so real
I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.
Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!
Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.
No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.
It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.
Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.
