@DissidentKitty pro-tip for independent researchers: e-mail the authors and kindly ask for a pre-print version of the article.

Many (most?) journals allow "scholarly sharing" and researchers tend to appreciate it when others take interest in their work.

@Lumb @violet well, obviously, but there's no such thing as 'enough' so i didn't think it worth mentioning

This is not a subtoot but something I see a lot which bothers me:

Don't say "Americans" when you mean "white people while in the United States/Canada." We aren't all culturally the same.

There are a lot of things to criticize Amerikkka for but watch how you do it, because then you start to erase folks living under that colonialism within its own borders.

This actually relates to the real world priesthood of Inanna/Ishtar which from contemporary descriptions and poems seemed to have a large amount of androgynous, homosexual and intersex members, and a large amount of it's practices defied gender roles.

It's #folkloreThursday
So let's talk about the Babylonian myth of Ashuhunamir, the first nonbinary person.

After the goddess Ishtar got herself trapped in the underworld, the gods created Ashunamir, a being who was neither man not woman, to seduce Erishkigal, the Queen of the underworld, and free Ishtar.

They succeeded in their quest, but for thier troubles Erishkigal cursed them and all those like them to always be viewed with suspicion in human society, but Ishtar, to counter this, blessed them and those like them with wisdom, prophecy, healing and that they would always be held sacred to Ishtar.

Fucked up that I cant use portals to go down on myself

If your executives inform you that they find it outrageous that 40% of all sick days taken by employees happen to fall on a Monday or a Friday...

...and the silence that ensues when you point out that Mondays and Fridays simply account for 40% of all workdays 😂
