Maybe she just has like a pair of giant extremely wide headphones hanging around her neck under her shirt.  Or she's smuggling like pineapples.

The thing is that the portrayal of Neanderthals as having been inherently grotesque and alien to H. sapiens is something we will never have proof of. But we do have proof that, in different locations and in different populations across time, we all found eachother desirable. We saw eachother and wanted to touch. And the offspring were held by their mothers and raised and had their own offspring in turn.

When you look for the first proof that H. sapiens found Neanderthals repulsive, you have to wait until the Victorian era, when the white masters of empires were busy portraying Neanderthals as stupid, brutish, and (of course) dark-skinned.

In more modern times, we’ve had people arguing that instead of seeing Neanderthals as Benighted Savages, they should instead be seen as Noble Savages, (allegedly) cruelly destroyed and driven from their lands by H. sapiens. Which one of their two you believe says more about your modern political views than it does about ancient H. sapiens.

And, whether we construct Neanderthals as Savage or Noble Savage, the fundamental assumption we project into the unfathomably distant past is still that H. sapiens saw Neanderthals as an Other, with the language we use being almost explicitly that of modern racial dynamics.

But we have no proof of any of that. We have no proof of hostilities. We know we co-existed and we had sex. That’s it.

Humans obviously have sex with some humans and kill others. We also know that, when small groups of humans occupy vast spaces with infrequent contact with others, unique cultures will always form, some more hospitable, some more neophobic/xenophobic. But many cultures of small settlements placed among huge unpeopled landscapes place supreme emphasis on hospitality to strangers. Plus, we fucking love other social animals, as evidenced by how we befriended wolves.

I’m a humourless weirdo and a wet blanket about popular constructions of Neanderthals as “monstrous”, and I freely admit it. But that’s because it’s tied up in legacies of imperialism. Not only that, but it also privileges one culture (yours, mine, modernity’s) as being most human by implicitly assuming we can project it onto people in the past. Since you don’t pretend that all global cultures share exact same values as you do, it doesn’t take more than a few moments’ reflection to realise you can’t do that to the past.

Fuck it, I’m posting the selfcare checklist. I created this for my university seminar students on how to make yourself feel better when anxiety, loneliness, or whatever negative feeling hits. These 10 things are questions literally every single person needs to answer 

Have I?  (physical needs/daily needs)

Eaten

Drank

Slept

Showered

Have I? (metaphysical needs/every few days needs)

Sat down (reoriented motivations, stopped working, etc)

moved/exercised (have you been sitting too long?) 

been outside (10+ minutes in daylight)

Have I? (social needs/weekly)

Talked to someone? 

Gone somewhere? 

Done something novel? (not exactly new, but interesting or diferent)

You have to answer these questions in order and if you can’t move forward, repeat steps/start over. If you find you can never move forward that’s when it’s time to seek professional help.

The whole "pick me" shit really pisses me off. It's basically just another way to create good women vs stupid women.

You can just call a dumbshit girl with dumbshit opinions a misogynist idiot and move on, you don't have to create a term that forces that girl's existence to only exist for men. It's another fancy little misogyny hat you put on to make you feel superior.

i can't get over how evil it is that "gap in your resume" is considered a valid reason to not hire someone like "hmmm sorry you weren't working constantly every day of your life we need people who do nothing but work until they drop dead for us we just don't think you're right for the job" fuck youuuu
