Truth
Awww, look at my home state, learning from all the Lost Cause bullshit that echoed in I was taught in school in the '80s.
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
No I did I a quick transcription. Y is a reasonable reading.

May the best cock win! I must say I would not want to hold a rooster with exposed genitals. Seems dangerous. Also check out this bizarre inscription

clay model of cat and rooster
Most cats I know would not be able to take an adult rooster. Perhaps this cat is of extraordinary size?

This brainstorming exercise is leading to many things. 1) how many post do relate to publications past and in progress AND 2) how bad I've been at ensuring my posts have stable images, links, and the right key terms so I can find them again. 2/ livyarrow.org/2020/05/06/m...
I had an idea for a short piece for a festschrift, but then it grew into a mega piece and I sent it off to a journal. Now I'm using my random post button looking for a topic on which I might have something short to say in print; this means I keep reading old posts. 1/ livyarrow.org/2013/07/10/2...
RPC 4606 and 4608
The car must have some stand alone significance as it can appear with text in it and no Baetyl. Wierd.

Sometimes you can even see the wings on the Baetyl in the car.
I'm looking at the coins of Sidon for a totally separate reason and getting distracted by the awesome Aniconic Cult Object. This Baetyl and the car it rides in are all over the coins and best of all some times it gets WINGS.

I'm obsessed with how well the 3/4 perspective of this parade car.
As Arendt observes, if human rights are dependent on individual states for enforcement, they will always be dependent on citizenship status. This is what allows ghouls like Miller to do what they do. The only way to actually achieve human rights is to abolish borders.
Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
They also didn’t pay cover 🖕
i am told on here all the time that theres just nothing democrats can do in congress and that its pointless to do messaging bills and yet here is a member of the fucking majority - one of the worst cretins -- doing just that.
We do this every summer! 100% works.
Instead of spraying for mosquitos this summer, try the Mosquito Murder Bucket!
It's cheaper than paying a company and doesn't kill all of the beneficial insects in the area.

BREAKING: Credible whistleblower discloses that FBI forensic experts were ordered to stand down from processing the scene where Renee Good was killed, because Kash Patel did not want Good referenced as a “victim” in the warrant.
I keep these in my feeds and pause to remember. But this face reminds me of someone I feel I knew and loved. Someone with whom I should have had long conversations with. May her memory be a blessing. May her portrait inspire a world without concentration camps and wars of agression.
Coming up tomorrow! Really looking forward to this...

New bio update postdoc at ITU Copenhagen on theorycraft and archaeogaming
Bio update
I find I am honestly unsure what the long term implications are of the United States demonstrating twice in three months that its new preferred way of war is to engage in bolt-from-the-blue decapitation strikes with no obvious follow-up plan.
My instinct is that it will not turn out well.
Mysteriously all the Epstein news seems to have quieted down. Ditto ICE domestic terror.
And replaced with gross loss of lives and global destabilization.
