HEY GUYS no blogging today for me :(

I'M GOING TO QUSEIR

A 5000 year old city with varied architecture and peoples and BEAUTIFUL beaches and very historic sites

quseirs main native inhabitants are ABABDA :DDDDDD!!!!

i have actually SOOO much family there like i could be at a place that requires like a subscription or something and i could tell the guy my full 10-part name and he could be like "Oh we're family have a discount" so like tribal privilege i guess

and i actually lowkey wanna see my extended family

my dads family are ORIGINALLY from quseir so yeah

AND THE MARINE BIODIVERSITY OOF ITS SO DIVERSE one time i was at my great great great great great great great grandfathers tomb ( yes actually im being serious) 50 km south of quseir and i just had my hands in the water and i just ACCIDENTALLY FOUND A SEA CUCUMBER IN MY HANDS and there are also like dugongs turtles and dolphins and sharks and stuff

Dugong in Quseir

did i mention it's historic?

theres like an ottoman castle

it also went by different names throughout history

Pharoanic period: Tjau (couldn't find a meaning)

Ptolemaic period:Leucus Limen which mentwhite port

Roman period:Myos Hormos which meant Harbour of the Mussels

Islamic period: Quseir derived from the arabic word for short this name was used because it was the shortest like path to mecca from upper egypt or just the shortest path between upper egypt and the red sea

It was only with the separation of the worker from the means of production, and the mediation of this development of the (constantly evolving) means of production of the worker via the activity of the intellect, that the means of labour assumed a historical form which no longer corresponded to the individual’s activity. The paradox is that although machinery and technology were created as the purposive basis of bourgeois class rule, they appear as their opposite in the social mediation of individual capitals through the market: that is, they appear as a neutral, indifferent basis for the societation of the production process through the division of labour. They appear specifically ‘class neutral’, particularly in comparison to objects from the sphere of consumption, where cars, home furnishing, fancy packaging and buildings still directly exhibit both forms of their social nature, namely, utility and domination.

Hans-Dieter Bahr, The Class Structure of Machinery (1973)
