I was reading one of my childhood diaries the other day and there was a whole paragraph saying how hopeful I was that my writing will help the archeologists in the far future. Then it proceeded to describe my lunch that day and how my dog was probably secretly able to talk.

A bronze statue of a young boy sitting on a bench, holding a scrap of birch bark in one hand and a writing implement in the other. Next to him is a toy horse on wheels.ALT

there is a fucking statue of a kid who lived sometime in the 1200s, around 800 fucking years ago, because we have pieces of his homework that he doodled on while learning how to write. this is one of his drawings:

A piece of birch bark with two stick figures. They have hands that look like rakes with way too many or too few fingers and sassy eyebrows. There are letters in the lower left corner.ALT

when I was googling him (because I couldn't remember his name), I stumbled across this twitter thread about him, which includes a different doodle by an italian boy in the 1400s of knights besieging a castle:

A drawing of two soldiers (one on horseback and one an archer on foot) attacking a castle. The castle has three windows through which you can see the people inside, one on each floor. There is an archer at the top of the tower.ALT

It's at the back of one of his schoolbooks for learning Latin.

ALL WE KNOW OF THESE KIDS IS STUFF THEY DREW WHILE THEY WERE BORED AND IT'S STILL HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT.

Anonymous asked:

I thought halal only applied to food? I mention this because the hand soap at work is certified halal

nendocris answered:

Halal as a term, can refer to what is “pure” or “permissible” for a Muslim. For example, when a compund or object is Halal, it refers to it not being mixed with any impurities, so you can go ahead and apply it on your body without fearing impurity. Halal can also refer to what is allowed for a Muslim, for example, it is Halal for me to own a cat.

I’m sorry friends, but “just google it” is no longer viable advice. What are we even telling people to do anymore, go try to google useful info and the first three pages are just ads for products that might be the exact opposite of what the person is trying to find but The Algorithm thinks the words are related enough? And if it’s not ads it’s just sponsored websites filled with listicles, just pages and pages of “TOP FIFTEEN [thing you googled] IMAGINED AS DISNEY PRINCESSES” like… what are we even doing anymore, google? I can no longer use you as shorthand for people doing real and actual helpful research on their own.

Time to drop some links again.

Search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and promotes websites that aren’t usually at the top of the list.

Search engine for items in libraries (books, but also maps, articles, sound recordings, theses, etc.)
