#and will never be

[his-tamine]

I don't like talking politics, but these are people's lives, so I'ma at least say something. like this isn't sports - it's not about "I'm on the red team, I'm on the blue team!" there's quite a lot at stake here. And idk about you guys, but personally, *I* feel pretty damn defeated...

I'm black, and trans, and queer, and afab, and neurodivergent, and mentally ill, *and* I'm disabled. sooo pretty much like 70% of everything this man's hatred is directed towards. and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, or that I didn't cry from midnight to 2am this morning, before passing out from exhaustion. but I know that it's gonna be ok. probably not immediately, and maybe not even soon. but it will be. we HAVE to believe that. because we never really have nothing, if we have our hope, ourselves, and each other. If anyone needs to talk or vent, I'm happy to lend an ear. even if you feel like your situation's not as grim as mine or people like me.

Love you guys <3 and PLEASE stay. do not let these dickfarts outlive you.

Since everyone's talking about the Netflix new black-washed afrocentric Cleopatra documentary,

Let me talk to you about what's been described as "Most historically accurate media production so far", that even Egyptologists use it as a reference for scholars,

The one and only

I give you ...

*drum roll*

ASSASSIN'S CREED: ORIGINS

Surprisingly, the game's timeline goes back to 49 BC.

Whose rulling era?

Yes, Cleopatra's reign.

Ubisoft, the game production company BRAGS about the AC series saying they proudly cooperate with specialists to create their games as historically accurate as possible, specifically Assassin's Creed Origins, it got to the point where they created a "Discovery mode" that allows you to just roam around the ancient cities of Egypt, no killing nor fighting just discovering!

There's this podcast called History Respawned where they hosted an Egyptologist from Harvard university to analyze the game and test it's historical accuracy, he simply said and I quote " Too damn accurate..!"

You can listen to the whole podcast here

A very interesting podcast that addresses many cases such as white-washing and black-washing of ancient Egypt.

Of course, NOTHING is 100% accurate, still has some flaws but it was accurate enough that even they took care of the cloth used by ancient Egyptians to make clothes!

The dyes, colours such as blue,yellow and red, the tools used in agriculture, in battles, the jewelries wore by NPCs everything was presice and accurate.

The game brilliantly succeeded in recreating the daily life in ancient Egypt during the Ptolemy periods, even the geographical features and places was perfectly designed that you may never see it in another western media production.

I love the dreams in which the chorus of Hail the Nightmare sings for me... It is a different song every time, but they are always so beautiful, so... genuine? Invoking emotions I can't even identify. They are entrancing and elevating. Singing of Choir (that I presume is in Ebrietas lyrics) just feels so cold and hollow in comparison, it doesn't have fire in it.

Really would love to see (or rather, hear, haha) another dream like that.

had a fun experience on the subway the other day

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

filipina miku!! my mom helped me with her outfit ^_^

[sadclowncentral]

shoutout to the guy who after unsuccessfully hitting on my sister and being politely declined asked her "is it okay if i ask your brother instead" and when she said yes gave me a long and searching look before sighing and going "no. i am not drunk enough to go for a dude. but you look like an angel" happy bisexual pride to this man and this man only. hope you figure it out soon king

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

Back in 2017 I signed up for one of the Cards Against Humanity sillies and did their Cards Against Humanity Saves America. Basically they were like fuck Tr*mp and his border wall and used the funds from the campaign to buy land and to make all 150,000 contributors part owners of said land across the US/Mexico border.

It was fun and silly and I got a little certificate.

Today I got an email that Elon Musk illegally annexed that land for SpaceX and that CAH are suing him over it. So possibly I’ll get like $100 if they manage to win a lawsuit and stick it to Musk. It’s like even more bang for my original buck.

The funniest homophobia I ever experienced was a Mormon lady at my work telling me she would accept me being gay because we have to get along as coworkers but I really should consider not being gay because gay people have sex like animals (especially gay men) and she just couldn't stop thinking about it and how gross we are. She started really getting distressed, near tears, and saying 'I can't stop thinking about it. I can't stop." over and over and miming some kind of sex acts with her hands and I was like ?????? What is happening???? One of the other Mormon ladies had to come over and pat her on the back and help her sit down to help her calm down and our boss gave her the afternoon off due to being too upset to work.
