Hey, actually! Tumblr's an international community of varied interests, maybe one of you guys'll know!

About four or five years ago now, I got a loaf of bread from a bakery in a train station in Germany (I wanna say... Munich maybe?)

It had seeds and pistachios in it, and the bakery had put dried honeysuckle and parsley and rose petals on top. I think it might have been a rye or mixed grain, but I'm not certain on that.

Does anyone know what that type of bread is called, or where I can find a recipe?

EDIT: @ikchen found a recipe for it, and @sloth-grammar found the actual one on the bakery's website! thank you both so much for your help! if anyone else is interested, this is the specific bread, and here's a recipe someone made to mimic it!

Five Character Poll Game

Rules: Make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite.

(this was terribly hard to boil down to five, especially considering the 'all time' bit. the only reason there is no one from cql is bc i could never decide on only one fave!)

Tagging everyone who wants to do it & @efferd @eurydike @verecunda etc. etc.

alright i have permission to derail this so im derailing it

this figure is fucking. wild. a sequence of events: me and @thatlittleegyptologist seeing this immediately: okay not the point but she is NOT egyptian. that woman eats olives. she does not drink chunky beer. she does not believe the sun is rolled around by a unit of a dung beetle. she is GUH-REEK brooklyn museum: greek greekity greek btw she's in the egyptian collection us: ok why though. look i'll grant this does look like egyptian baking scenes but SHE isnt egyptian. and 5th century BCE is far too early for greek-egyptian shenanigans. something isnt right here @ikchen: do they just not have a separate collection for classical and this where it gets. more? fucked up you, i, and every other normal person would from a museum read "egyptian, classical, ancient near east" as three separate designations applied to the same object. egyptian. classical. ANE. which can absolutely be the case! things can be more than one thing

but no. that is, in fact, all one collection. that's not three links that's one link. all of classical and near eastern civ is contained within egypt. thutmose would be thrilled.

there is a minoan tentacle vase on display in the egyptian old kingdom room. there are greek coins and wreaths in an egyptian art exhibition

egyptian is always listed first. half the shit in it never saw egypt.

there is a link to ask them questions and im tempted to ask if they're aware that greece is not located within egypt

love this egyptian figurine of a woman baking bread in the brooklyn museum. she looks exactly like me while i'm waiting for my food to be done in the microwave. truly an eternal experience

Internet mob and hacking

Last Friday the gang of tumblr egyptologists have announced through the account of the most unhinged among them -somecunttookmyurl- essentially that they have stolen my IP, obviously through hacking.

At least five persons active on this site (somecunttookmyurl, rudjedet, thatlittleegyptologist, ikchen, silverdragon98) have shared till now my IP, in order to “hard block” me from their blogs. When I say “hard block”, I mean that, when I try to visit their blogs after having logged out from tumblr, something that I have the right to do given that their accounts are public and they often refer there to my person, I am redirected to pages with insulting messages for me.

Moreover, before this “hard block”, I saw that they had started to publish on somecuntookmyurl’s blog information about me and data showing that they are able to monitor my computer activity. I don’t know how far they have managed to go with these spying efforts.

Now, IP hacking and internet spying are not funny things. A stolen IP can be used for illegal or even criminal activities. It can also be used to damage the computer whose IP has been stolen. 

Of course I consider the tumblr egyptologists (mainly somecunttookmyurl, thatlittleegyptologist, rudjedet, ikchen, and their acolyte silverdragon98, who have shared my IP, but also 23-tiny-wishes, who is active member of the gang) to be responsible for any such or other incident which would happen with my IP or my computer or with my personal data, which could have been stolen from my computer.

Moreover, it is clear to me that, to achieve all this, they have collaborated with a person with some experience in such illegal activities, and this makes things even more serious. If the tumblr egyptologists are moved mainly by their pathological hatred and obsessions against me, I don’t know what agendas their collaborator may pursue and what he would try to do with my stolen IP and my computer.

Another aspect is that somecunttookmyurl  (the “honey-coated” tumblr egyptologist) is, according to her own page, not only psychotic, but also a drug user, and both she and her Dutch friend rudjedet (with whom she shared my IP) complain often on tumblr that they lack money and beg their friends and followers to “donate”.

 I don’t know how persons like them would try to use my stolen IP and to monetize it.

All these are things that I will start to clarify tomorrow, with the help of the most competent persons in these matters.

@ikchen​ I don’t know exactly how big the whole apartment is. The living room/kitchen area is actually quite spacious now that I think about it. The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but still big enough for a double bed, or a single bed and a little desk. I’m guessing they’re about 12 to 14m2. I’m mostly excited about designing my own bedroom because I love cosy rooms.

Thanks everyone <3 I’m feeling better(ish?) about things today. I’m incredibly lucky to have a roof over my head and food in my stomach when everything settles, and my folks are being really supportive.

do both. both is good. what’re you translating?

Just some simple sentences. I only started learning Coptic this semester, so it's mostly introductory grammar

[gallusrostromegalus]

Du sprichst deutsch? Cool :)

Ein bisschen.  Es ist schon acht Jahre her irgendeine Klasse und Ich habe viel vergessen.  

...I think.  I’m kind of terrible at languages but I think if I got immersed properly I’d remember it again.

@ikchen Pants/long sleeves do keep me from scratching a little bit but the itch gets so irritating I can’t help but obsess over it. Wearing a lot of clothing also helps with my sunlight allergy, but aggravates my sweat allergy.

(Writing this it really feels like my body is a design flaw.)
