#hammurabi's code

[sluttyquarantinetheory]

I don't expect the majority of people I meet to be the same prison abolitionist restorative justice type motherfucker as I am, but it is wild how often I hear someone talking up the merits of bringing back Hammurabi's Code.

If an author kills your favorite character, then you are legally allowed to kill that author. Some people call it murder, I call it Hammurabi’s Code.

Here’s a picture from a while back of some writing I did. It’s the beginning of Law 9 from Hammurabi. This is harder than it looks but still much easier than writing signs with pencil and paper. I did it with a chopstick.

This is awesome! For those wanting to do something similar, here’s my previous post on writing your own cuneiform. And if you try it out, make sure to submit the results!

god bless jury duty-- i had to miss class for it today and apparently my professor for that class is giving me some extra credit just for having jury duty for the simple reason that they were talking about hammurabi's code in class today
