For the love of languages
Science Association Aranzadi has made a discovery that can be a landmark for the history of Basque language. In an Iron Age Vascon town of Irulegi, in the region of Aranguren (Nafarroa), an inscripted bronze hand from the 1st century BCE has surfaced. It’s the longest and oldest Basque text until now. It’s written in a variation of the Iberian alphabet, adapted by Vascons to our language. According to experts, the hand could have been a lucky charm to bring good luck and shoo bad luck away.
The first word reads sorioneku - please compare to nowadays Basque word zorioneko (for good luck, luckily).
THIS. IS. HUGE.
It’s the first Vasconic text - not single words - that has been found so omg, we’re super excited!!!

#RIP another life is taken by the demonic #IslamicRepublic
17-year-old innocent girl #Arnica was brutally beaten to death and mercenaries claim ‘she jumped from the 4th floor of a building’ tho she died from severe head injuries caused by a baton.
19-year-old celebrity chef Mehrshad Shahidi also called Iran's Jamie Oliver was beaten to death by security forces amid anti-hijab protests in the country.
"Our son lost his life as a result of receiving baton blows to his head after his arrest, but we have been under pressure by the regime to say that he has died of a heart attack", a relative of Mehrshad told Iran International TV. His family also said that officials had pushed them to say to the public that Mehrshad Shahidi died of a heart attack.
I've read some protestors were already sentenced to death. I'm not sure if these are final verdicts and if they will be executed. Still, the threat is quite real. Only international attention might prevent the Islamic Republic from executing these young people.
This is a work of art…both the photo AND the woman! 🔥😍👌

All free people should be passionate about the fate of the Persian people at the hands of their oppressive government which is denying them basic rights, arresting torturing and killing them without restraint or repercussions from the many countries that do business with that government

“You got your life from a woman so you can take the lives of other women. How ungrateful you are”
Freedom is NOT something to take for granted!!

People protect a woman who is burning her scarf
They're shutting down the internet
They want to silence us
They want to kill us
Please be our voice

Regardless of your political leanings, if you value at all the freedoms that the USA affords to us all, please take this advice to heart, so that all of us can continue to enjoy all our freedoms, including the freedom of free speech and the right to disagree civilly with our fellow citizens.
Read, reflect & assess yourself: it’s good for all of us and improves us all
Raise your hand if you come to tumblr (at least my side of tumblr) to get away from the craziness of life. Yeah. Me too. Let’s face it. You’d have to be literally living under a rock to not notice how divided the US has become and to be honest, it’s exhausting…so tumblr.
It’s cool how most of us seem to get along here. Don’t ya think? And yet, if truth be known, we have a plethora (favorite word since “Three Amigos”) of differences. Yep. We really are a rag tag assemblage of all letters of the alphabet, age, experience, and represent all spots along the spectrum of politics, religion, education, etc. You may not believe that but it really is true. Many a time I’ve been intrigued by something someone posted and went to examine their blog only to find they are well outside of my comfort range in one or more of the areas above. And that always makes me stop and reflect. Always.
Without knowing we are so opposite, I center on something you’ve said (posted) as being awesome. For me that’s usually a post which suggests you have a warped sense of humor… just like moi. *grins* Then, after investigating your tumblr lair, I find out about your “dark side.” Hmm. Does that mean I can no longer think you are awesomely sarcastic and/or punny?? That I’d love to spend an hour over a glass of sangria with you trading quips and rolling our eyes as we groan in concert? Dude. What a horrible (and frankly boring) existence this would be if that were true.
Do you know what an echo chamber is? Pretty much what it sounds like. “Sounds like”.. “echo”.. get it? I say something and the same thing comes back at me. This is pretty cool when you’re on a cliff edge or in a cave… at least until the bats come for you. And I get that in life we do like to hang out with folks who have a similar worldview as our own. Truly. I get it. Me too. BUT.. THAT SHOULD NOT MEAN WE DESPISE EVERYBODY ELSE UNCONDITIONALLY. I typed that in CAPS cause I think it’s important… not because I’m yelling at you virtually. From the D/s standpoint, it would be like saying I refuse to speak to, listen to, be in the same room with, or certainly become friendly with ANY sub who doesn’t like bondage. I mean, I may not understand them but it would be silly to wipe them from my mind like shaking an etch-a-sketch. Right?
And another thing to consider… this one is tougher so only the strong should continue reading….
(Glad you could make it..*smiles*) One more piece about being in an echo chamber…If you are old enough to read my NSFW blog, and most especially if you have children, you have to know that it’s extremely possible that one day your own words will come back to bite you in the ass. Am I wrong? No. I didn’t think so. This does not mean that I am attacking whatever your current viewpoints are about life, the universe, and all things sparkly. It means that the human brain is meant to grow.. think… experience… think… change… experience… adapt… and so on. What I believe today may not necessarily be the thing I believe tomorrow. And that’s okay. Trust me. So just don’t get so 100% hung up in your own point of view. You may not have the same one tomorrow.
Damn. This blog turned out really long. But the message is short. Don’t be a close-minded ass. Most everyone has some element about them to which you might connect. If you’re lucky enough and open enough to recognize those elements embrace them. Period. End of story.

It’s an obvious truth which the opposition does t want to acknowledge
So simple and so true…
