Hell Decided To Break Loose On My Town And I Don't Want To Do A Tinychat With Thunder.

“Who is it? Who is it?”

My interpretation of the first half of the forth year finally.

SHAKESPEARE

Listen, you all knew I was a major dork already. 

These are the posters I made as decorations for the English dept. grad party. As this year marks the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, we obviously went with a theme. If you are into typography, you can see my freehand attempts at the First Folio typeface. But my pride and joy is the brilliant new party game, Pin the Beard on the Bard. 

Yes, the party was grand fun. And no, improvising cardstock beards for my friends to tape to a judgmental drawing of Shakespeare had not been a life goal, but I am proud to have achieved it nonetheless..

THIS IS REBLOG RELEVANT FOR ONLY TODAY IN THE WHOLE OF HUMAN HISTORY AND ITS FUTURE

Here’s to all the Jews who grew up in a Christian family / neighborhood and don’t know how to feel about this time of year.

To everyone that doesn’t know where to start with Hanukkah because you were never exposed to it outside of it being “Jewish Christmas”

To those who see people say “Jews don’t celebrate Christmas” and doubt yourself because you did celebrate it or you still do because you grew up with it and enjoyed it and it’s expected from you now.

To those who don’t have long-standing traditions or recipes that have been passed down so you have to look things up online.

To those who have to hide their Jewishness around family or friends or coworkers.

To those who don’t know exactly where they belong yet, or still have doubts.

I hope you have a happy and safe holiday season.

[this post is about jewish converts and Jewish people who live in a majority Christian area or with Christian family/housemates. do not derail. do not add on.]

My phone added this affect to this picture I took years ago.

PSA:

re-blog and wear the safety pin if you and your blog are safe and safe spaces for any minorities discriminated against by Trump.

Oldest medical amputation on record was performed on a Stone Age child in Borneo 31,000 years ago

About 31,000 years ago, a skilled prehistoric surgeon cut off the lower leg of a child hunter-gatherer in Borneo. Now, archaeologists have concluded that this ancient surgery is the earliest medical amputation on record.

The skill of the Stone Age surgeon was admirable; the patient went on to live an additional six to nine years after the surgery, a radiocarbon dating performed by researchers of the individual’s tooth enamel revealed, according to a study published online Wednesday (Sept. 7) in the journal Nature.

“It was a huge surprise that this ancient forager survived a very serious and life-threatening childhood operation, that the wound healed to form a stump and that they then lived for years in mountainous terrain with altered mobility,” study co-author Melandri Vlok, a bioarchaeologist and postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney,“ said in a statement. ”[This suggests] a high degree of community care.“ Read more.
