@inthehands @grimalkina all the people in higher education who are good at teaching, but hate doing research, are at the community college level teaching people who need it.

At the university level you can get away with bad pedagogy because you can always wave your hand and say "oh well I suppose some people just aren't cut out for the rigors of academia" when students ask for clarification on your syllabus.

@eris Seattle Freeze only happens to normies who look like they're not a good long-term bet for friendship. Like, if they seem like they're gonna move back home in a month because they hate it here people will just let them go.

If you look queer? People are generally very welcoming.

@ryanhoulihan try dark chocolate and Advil

A tumblr post for you

Found a meme for y'all over on tumblr. #startrek

@NilaJones @DrCuriosity they probably were sent, and there's a lot of them addressed to one guy which were all found in the same place and they're by different authors.

Not baking the tablets was normal. Think of it like laminating paper, it's a whole thing, you wouldn't do it for most stuff.

Everybody knows the Ea-Nasir facts, only people who took anthropology classes know the interesting conjecture:

Fact: most sumerian clay tablets were not baked/fired, they were usually recycled and the clay reused.

Fact: the Ea-Nasir complaint tablets were found, baked, in the ruins of a house.

Therefore we might assume that Ea-Nasir kept his unbaked complaint tablets in his house and somebody burned his house down.
