This gold death mask of Tutankhamun is an example of the highest artistic and technical achievements of the ancient Egyptians in the New Kingdom.
Covering the head of the wrapped mummy in its coffin and activated by a magical spell, no.151b from the Book of the Dead, the mask ensured more protection for the king’s body. The exact portrayal of the king’s facial features achieved here made it possible for his soul to recognize him and return to his mummified body, thus ensuring his resurrection.
The head is covered by the royal headdress and the forehead bears the emblems of kingship and protection: the vulture and uraeus, or cobra. The gold sheets used in this wonderful mask are joined together by heating and hammering. The eyes are of obsidian and quartz and the eyebrows and eyelids are inlaid with lapis lazuli. The broad inlaid collar of semiprecious stones and colored glass ends in falcon heads.
From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62), Valley of the Kings, West Thebes. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 60672

The fact that yall are acting like selling one’s books and art on amazon bc the mod who does it are chronically ill and cant persue regular jobs is the same as being the CEO of a multimillion corporation who is cishet white and able bodies and exploits thousands of people like ME is fucking despicable and you arent being as much of an “anti capitalist icon” as you think you are being

Breaking News: Under the dictatorship of the dirtbag left, fucking having a job gets you cancelled. Fuck you if you work for money to exchange for goods and services.
I think Woody Guthrie once said something along the lines of,
“If you work for wages, you support the rich capitalists / And if you don’t work, you’re a lumpen to them / If you play the gamble, of course you’re a gambler / And if you don’t gamble you never do win.”
If u ever looked at money fuck u
This is some serious next-level 3008 galaxy brain type shit.
If a capitalist is extracting the surplus value of your labor to generate profit then that means you’re secretly a billionaire and you secretly own stake in your expropriator’s business apparently, because that makes sense, that’s how anything works or has ever worked.
Tiny brain: The worker and the owner enter a voluntary, mutually beneficial relationship
Normie brain: The worker is coerced through economic precarity to accept the low wage set by the industry and the owner generates profit through extracting the surplus value of the worker’s labor
Giant too-woke-to-die Tumblr exclusionist apotheosis galaxy brain: workers and owners is the same. if u have a job than FUCK U

Y'know, in 2013 I spent a summer working on the glue line at a plywood mill, so according to this fun and fascinating new kind of logic we’ve invented, my blog must be a Koch brothers plant. I had no idea! Shit, I oughta be getting paid for this.
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.
