This bronze coffin used to hold the remains of a small animal. It is decorated with a falcon standing on a throne and wearing the double crown of Egypt. A lioness goddess (Sekhmet) and the god Shu, shown squatting, adorn the base of this coffin. A dedicatory inscription can be read on the right side of the base. Possibly to be read “Horus-of-Pe to give all life and health eternally … to Pa-irr-aw-ib (?)”.
Late Period, ca. 664-332 BC. Now in the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago.

That’s the fun thing about Pinterest, isn’t it. You catch one of these and you immediately stumble upon a colony. I saw someone had pinned some of these on a board called “James Bond Home Design”. I can get behind that. (Image 9 is from 1955, the rest is 1960s/1970s.)
did y’all see the guidelines for homeless shelters turning away trans people (specifically trans women)? every line of it is so awful. if you can, PLEASE donate towards homeless trans women today. these shelters are not safe for them.
As a nurse, I encourage you to read and repost, and quote at length.
As a medical professional, I would also like to point out that this doesn’t even touch upon the additional deaths and healthcare complications from people who don’t have Covid, but can’t access healthcare because the hospitals are swamped.
that adds up to 180,510,000 btw
which is 55% of y’alls population
just incase you were still debating masks & restrictions
cool fact for people who have a problem with looting:
cops in america are legally allowed to take people’s property (including large sums of money) purely because they feel like it. it’s called civil forfeiture and there are literally thousands of cases of pigs taking people’s property. that is looting.
i watched this happen to my roommate after the cops kicked our doors in at 6 AM on a weekday for a no-knock raid that, surprise surprise, didn’t turn out anything. they opened his wallet in front of him, took out about $300 and told him that since they had no record of where it came from on premises, that they’d have to take it from him. they took this man’s rent money right in front of him while he was in cuffs and told him “too bad”.
there was also a friend’s car in our drive way that had broken down so they left it over night. the doors were locked and the windows were up, and since the owner wasn’t there, they decided it’d be cool to just bust in all the windows to perform another fruitless search.
In Philly it’s been a HUGE and MASSIVE problem with cops taking people’s bank accounts, cars, electronics and pretty much anything worth any amount of money under a law that lets the DA seize property they think is related to a crime. “Related’ is a vague term though. They once forced a women and her grandchildren out of her home to sell it at auction because her son was found by police with $20 worth of weed.
(Depending on the property in question it can go under Civil Property Seizure or Seize and Seal, they’re not the same law but they work the same)
They don’t have to prove it’s related to a crime before or after, and even if the person suspected of the crime is cleared at questioning or acquitted at trial, you have to go through a MONTHS long process of court appearances (you can’t miss one or be late or you lose, no rescheduling) in hopes that they MIGHT get their stuff back. Most don’t.
Most people don’t think it’s worth the expense of days missed at work and a lawyer to get back a couple hundred dollars or whatever else the police stole. The city makes MILLIONS of dollars each year off this, around $6-10 (The DA doesn’t provide figures)
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
