downside: going to have to include a picture of the Giza pyramids in the slides for the lecture
upside: i get to give people a crash course in why perspective matters in two frames, because

An image of the three pyramids (and three satellite pyramids) on the Giza plateau that looks exactly the same as you've always seen it: Menkaure's smaller pyramid and the three queen's pyramids are in the foreground, with Khafre's pyramid looming behind it. Behind Khafre's pyramid is Khufu's, a.k.a. the Great Pyramid, which looks slightly smaller than Khafre's in this image.ALT

followed by

Another photo of the pyramids of the Giza plateau. This time the pyramids are all shown from the same distance, so that the distance between them is clear as well as their relative size. It's now painfully obvious that Khufu's Great Pyramid on the far right is indeed the largest, with Khafre's in the centre only an increment smaller. Menkaure's pyramid, on the other hand, is less than half the height of Khafre's.ALT

is such a funny sequence

i find most people who haven’t seen it in person don’t know that cairo is RIGHT THERE

I loved these perspectives so I took some of my own when I was in Cairo and yeah, they’re literally just. Right there. Pass em on your way to work, nbd

No, y'all don’t even understand.

There is literally a Pizza Hut across the street from the pyramids.

That Pizza Hut among other things is why Egyptologists laugh their asses off when we see another piece of media where the protagonists get “lost in the desert near the pyramids”, because it’s like… just turn around my dudes you’re only a seven min walk away from the nearest fastfood shop

Yall don’t know how much I adore all of this

PSA: If you played BotW, Tears of the Kingdom will connect to your save data so you can keep the same horses in both games. Nothing else in my life matters right now. This is the best feature they ever could’ve added. 100/10

I was relieved when I found out I didn’t have to get all my horses again. Though I currently have 2 Eponas and probably all my saddles are gone

This Trilobite walked 6 inches 600 million years ago to send us all a dick pic

the long game

Imagine in another 600 million years your fossilized corpse is found by things that laugh at how much your footprints look like their copulatory flaps

I’d be a fuckin comedy legend.

Imagine making a dick joke and having it outlast the entire human race. Monumental.

“you’re going to DELETE a post you AGREED with just cuz you found out ops a terf??”

yeah turns out learning that people having uber bigoted ideologies changes the context of the post buddy

I once reblogged a post about how a women’s bathroom was an important place of refuge, and that was why women often go to the bathroom in groups or to cry and why people leave those domestic abuse cards in women’s bathrooms, and how it’s the one place women can be away from men, and I was like “this is a fantastic post, yes” and then I found out the OP was a TERF and that post was suddenly no longer about safety in women’s restrooms. It was actually about wanting to make it impossible for trans women to pee in a public restroom. It was about making trans women seem like they invade a sacred place and make it dangerous. You bet your ass I deleted that reblog.

thanks to my followers who hit me up when/if I need to delete something

Fuck terfs

Fuck terfs.

And yes please if y'all ever see me reblog from a terf I appreciate someone letting me know. Or really any form of bigot. I will delete and block in a fucking heartbeat.

Jeff Bezos and Amazon are a fucking blight upon the working class. He got rich by treating rank and file employees like hot garbage toiling under dehumanizing, backbreaking conditions for shitty pay. When there are this many random strangers across various sectors/departments of a single company sharing similar horror stories, that can’t be dismissed as just a few disgruntled ex-employees. Grievances like these are why I quit using Amazon. They made my life easier at the expense of thousands of hardworking people being mistreated and disrespected behind closed doors. (thread)

Amazon’s turnover rate is so high, mostly because they treat everyone like garbage, that they are now at risk of running out of people to hire in the US by 2024, some locations, like California, may run out as early as the end of 2022.

Eat shit and die, Amazon

They could literally be able to afford three times the people, have the same efficiency, give everybody less time to work with less amount of workload, and give them better wages, and they would still make SO MUCH MONEY.

This is a person hiring slaves until they fucking drop dead or decide to escape the site. Literally evil.

Actress, Miriam Margolyes: When you know your worth, you know your worth.

She is beautiful and I love her.

She also recently said that JKR’s TERF remarks are fascist. So please, continue to stan a hero.

And she’s a signatory of Jews for Justice for Palestinians, was one of the first people to say ‘fuck’ on British TV, proudly called herself a dyke during a televised Australian citizenship ceremony with their PM, and has been with her partner since 1968.

being autistic and struggling with motor skills isn’t immature. it’s ok to be an adult and struggle to write neatly. your handwriting doesn’t look like a kindergartener’s it looks like an autistic adult’s handwriting.

it’s ok to be an an adult who struggles with eating. spilling food on yourself and getting food all over your face and your table doesn’t make you a child. it just means you have motor disabilities is all.

being an adult who can’t drive, an adult who needs help using machinery, an adult who can’t play video games even on easy mode, an adult who keeps dropping fragile things: these are all ways to be an adult. like yes it’s inconvenient and uncomfortable and frustrating. but being disabled doesn’t make you a child
