Some things should be obvious. Then they have the nerve to be talking about James Talarico not being "manly" enough. WTF!!!????

Get mad if you want to. I don't give one FUQ!!!! I will block you and smile while doing it. It’s never a matter of “IF” a MAGA cultist will commit pedophilia but rather, “WHEN.” Sexual exploitation, degeneracy and pedophilia is MAGA culture. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The first steps in life are not easy, not for humans and not for rooks. This rook probably just left the nest that day and walking on uneven ground the first time is not easy. They also cannot really fly at this stage, they manage a few flaps, but gaining height and landing is really difficult, so they rather walk.

the party of law and order who is tonsil deep on the cock and balls of palantir and flock who claims every foreign born person on US soil commits 100 crimes a day and should be put in a concentration camp for jaywalking is very upset about being surveilled and ticketed while committing crimes on a foreign nation's land. because as we know if the government owns the cameras that's communism but if a private company ran by a pedophilic vampire billionaire owns the cameras, that's actually democracy.

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.
