Consider the Great Sphinx of Giza:

See that tablet between her legs?

It dates from 1400BC, and tells a story of how the Pharoah was told through a dream to uncover the Sphinx from the sand that buried her. So he did, made a little shrine, and added the tablet (12' high and weighing 15 tonnes). 1400BC was during the New Kingdom.

When that tablet was placed there, the Sphinx was over a thousand years old.

There's a lot of Ancient Egyptian history...

in the Egyptian wing of the museum and my boyfriend is like "what are all the time periods of ancient Egypt" and I'm like predynastic, early dynastic, old kingdom which is when the pyramids were built, first intermediate, middle kingdom, second intermediate, new kingdom which includes amarna period and yugioh, third intermediate, and then all the late period stuff and macedonian and roman eras. and he's like run that by me one more time

Kirby's Daily Routine

Everybody else, growing up, was waiting for their Hogwarts letter. I was waiting for the Manual of wizardry, and today I found it. Turns out I'm not a wizard after all - but that's okay. In Life's Name and for Life's sake is a vow that matters anyway.

This is one of the books from the Library of Babel project, an experimental coding project based on Jorge Luis Borges' eponymous text - a theoretical library containing every possible combination of 1,310,000 Roman characters, or 410 pages of text. That works out to roughly 10⁴⁶⁷⁷ books. My very good friend @rtfmx9 asked if I wanted any specific book from the Library for my birthday, and this is what immediately came to mind. One of the pages consists of a bunch of the 'space' character, the Wizard's Oath, and a bunch more 'spaces.' In theory, there are still a whole lot more books like this one, waiting in the depths of the Library's shelves. Every book containing this page and even a single character different on any of the 409 other pages, for instance.

@dduane's Young Wizards series has been with me my whole life, and now my very own Enacture-less Manual gets to live right next to it on my shelf.

I had a pulmonary embolism in 2018 that almost killed me

Just a few weeks before that event we adopted a kitten

The week leading up to me being rushed to the emergency room she was constantly in my face sniffing my breath and pawing at my mouth

Ever since I came home from the hospital at least once a day she gets in my face and sniffs my breath but does not paw at my mouth

Depending on what she senses in that check she either yells at me until I sit on the bed and sits on me and refuses to get up because I apparently need rest or she just goes about her day because I'm apparently doing well enough to get up

And she's always right

And recently we realised she doesn't just check me she checks Husband and Kiddo too

I adopted a service cat by accident and I love her

old German lady gave me acupuncture today

she lifted up my shirt, saw my top surgery scars, and immediately went "WHOA! What caused THIS?"

my fellow comrades, it took every atom of my strength not to just say the funniest lie I could think of on the spot.

Love is a verb, not an adjective. It's what you do, not just what you feel. :-)

And the creators will make money from the recordings, which is good.

if Broadway doesn’t want bootlegs floating around then they need to get their act together and make legal recordings.  you can say all you want that theater is meant to be enjoyed live, but the fact of the matter is not everybody can get to NYC to go to a Broadway show.  not everybody can afford to take the time off of work and buy a plane ticket to NYC and buy a night in a hotel AND get the ticket to the show.  people want to see the shows, that’s why there’s a bootleg market in the first place, but it’s unreasonable to expect that everyone has the time, money, and ability to make it out to the one place in the world to see something on Broadway, especially if it’s a limited engagement.  so record that shit, slap some subtitles on it, and sell it so we can buy it legally.
