Don’t you hate it when you’re trying to do Neolithic reenactment and you’re like crouched over flints trying to knap a new adze or w/e and there’s always some tourist wearing terrycloth towels who shows up and yells KREEGAH BUNDOLO! at you?

INDIANA JONES C. 1968 CE: think he’d be proud of you [for selling artifacts]?

ME: oh, and like you’re Sir Flinders Petrie but with better palynology, professor let’s improvise a torch from some dude’s femur?

Georgia voters! Since there is a new state website enabling anyone to cancel anyone else's voter registration (!!!), it's important to check to make sure your voter registration is still valid. 😐
You can do that here: https://mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

has anyone ever mashed up the Mortal Kombat Theme Song with "Boot to the Head" by The Frantics? I'm pretty sure the tempo as well as topic would match

didn't think I'd write "nosferatu but with seriously nice booty" to explain a thumbnail today, but the muse moves in mysterious ways

now if only I could find where I put reference for gladiator armor

you know the whole "what drugs were they on to make this?" well with Yes this is British enough I'm pretty sure they were doing some really serious tea. Possibly with milk and sugar.

Sephardic cooking time! Turnip rice soup and caponata. CW for food photo.

my Dad's persistent negativity really weirds me out sometimes. Like, if I went to an Indian buffet (unlikely; they tend to be dairy, dairy and also dairy) and it offered both rice AND mango pudding I don't think I'd complain about limited options

I'll zut YOUR alors, pal!

it’s raining in just the right way to be PERFECT John Lee Hooker listening weather

Today’s AHDH rabbit hole; trying to identify a monk’s robe (NOT a kesa) pulled up a cool guide to a monk’s traveling outfit with transliterations! But some items are still cryptic, and maybe there are military equivalents. I thought an infantryman was “heitei” but apparently it’s actually “gunjin” or “heishi.” BUT I’m not trying to learn Japanese SO I looked for the Chinese, and soldier is “shibing” which doesn’t match how -shi/zhi seems to be a profession? So I dug more and “knight” is “qishi.”

Anyway, here’s yesterday’s #drawing

Somewhere within the last 8 years a Chaos player has heavily kitbashed a Great Unclean One and/or a Trump bobblehead or something similar, but can’t actually field it with their army for fear of a long pro-Trump harangue/being accused of being pro-Trump.

FRODO OF TH’ NINE FINGERS
AND THE RING O’ DOOM
AND IT BURN BURN BURNS AS HE FLEES INTO TH’ GLOOM
AN’ IT BURN BURN BURNS
THAT RING O’ DOOM
THAT RING O’ DOOM

they say "rightie tightie leftie Lucy" but I have no idea how we figured out anything about austrailopithicine politics

but they did find that fossil in the 60s, so maybe that's it

gotta say, dreaming that I was the KaLeut character in Das Boot yelling "Nicht heute Kameraden, NICHT HEUTE!" and thinking that was a little *too* convenient (in the movie it is), then waking up with bad acid reflux again? A little too on the nose.

A CULINARY FRONTIER

I kept picturing hominy as it moved through the diner. What did it look like? In a big bowl with butter or fried in slices like polenta? I kept dreaming of a world I’d probably never eat. And then one day… I got in.
