oh jeez i washed my face and also scrubbed my shoulder a bit so the lidocane cream would do something instead of just sitting on top and forgot that i scrubbed shoulder then did another pass on my face and now my nose is slightly numb

like - look

there he is!

this guard dog of ancient mesopotamia is still with us!

Catcher Of The Enemy, still loved by humanity, still kept by humanity, still humanity's companion just as he was in 645 BCE.

tho i have to say one of my fav "people is people" moments of reaching out through history

is

these little clay dogs found in nineveh

buried as charms under a palace

each of them carved so lovingly, by a person that knows dogs, and looking like dogs that you can probably go find today looking the exact same

each of them inscribed with the quality of a good guard dog that people still prize today in good guard dogs

Loud is his bark!
Biter of his foe!

it's very easy to think of history as occupied by exclusively staid and stately figures, far-off and distant and only dignified, and it makes it all feel like they were less human and history is this far-off thing you shouldn't care about

but the little reminders that people were people -

cuneform tablets full of bad yelp reviews for an iron seller! pompeii graffiti that could fit in a modern truck stop bathroom! kinky victorian porn!

- make history real and present. and that's cool af!!!

man the tumblr purge still bums me out. it managed to nuke one of my fav blogs, thosenaughtyvictorians, and altho they've got a blogspot, there's just like two posts on it, not the repository of information

it wasn't even a hornt fav, but i just really like history for those moments when it's just - oh hey, people are people, and have been people

"nothing new under the sun", but without the cynicism, basically. you get to recognize the continuity there, and it becomes more real and present

a nsfw self-callout 

(peak Harp voice) but unless it's as historically accurate and plausible as possible for the time period, i can't cum,

very nsfw, but also it's me being a gigantic domestic history nerd 

I FINALLY FOUND THE 1600S SEX MANUAL BOOK FOR REFERENCE AGAIN HOORAY

PLEASE LOOK AT ITS UTTERLY DELIGHTFUL FRONTISPEICE OF SOME LADIES OUT DILDO SHOPPIN erosblog.com/2017/02/12/dildo-

me: wow i should really stop using my professional patient experience to be ms. webmd online and give people probable diagnoses, even if i don't think i'm wrong, it's a bit of a bad habit

also me, simultaneously: honey you just quoted the first half of a zoloft commercial you ain't broken you got depression, call your doc for some SSRIs and you'll be ok

tangentially:

whose dick i gotta suck to get Recettear on switch, tho

concept:

1. develop a party mix kind of like chex mix, but incorporating wasabi peas and crunched up dry instant ramen noodles, nicely coated in some soy-sauce heavy seasoning

2. package and market this at conventions as Weeaboo Kibble

3. ?????

4. Profit

legitimately that is an excellent summary of anakin skywalker/darth vader, down to the LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT point
