A bit of everything

if you're a rabbit, the boss rabbit is the one who gets groomed by its subordinate rabbits.

but if you're a cat... the boss cat is the one that grooms the other cats.

grooms the other cats.

It's going to be a self-indulgent Christmas decoration (that's why all the garlands)

harp! I'm going to add one those record-your-own greeting card devices to it, so it'll play music.

Jane & Bingley can be moved and then they can dance:

(They're not very good dancers but they're cute so it's fine.)

Squall leaning against the column, resting bitch face at the ready. He sips from his champagne glass.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): This is fucking ginger ale.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): Dude, we’re seventeen.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): Yesterday, I killed like fifteen guys. I think I can get a damn drink.

As the intense, internal argument rages inside his head, Squall glances up at the night sky through the enormous sky light. A shooting star blazes into his view. He follows its descent until his eyes land on a pretty girl in a white dress. Their eyes meet and she smiles at him, pointing towards the sky.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): Shit! Eye contact! What do we do?!

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): Relax. It’s just eye contact. It’s not like she’s gonna come over.

Rinoa begins to approach, her eyes never leaving Squall’s.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): OH FUCK!!! She’s coming closer!

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): Hey, she looked us in the eye! She needs to take responsibility! Maybe we’ll get lucky and she’ll tell us not to stare like a creeper!

Rinoa: *walks up and smiles* You’re the best looking guy here. Dance with me?

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): *crying hysterically*

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): I can’t do this, man! Just ignore her! Maybe she’ll go away!

Squall: *turns away and takes a sip of his drink*

Rinoa: Let me guess…you’ll only dance with someone you like.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): Good! She took the hint! Now we gotta sneak out and not talk to anything for a month. That’ll make us feel better.

Rinoa: Ok then. *her hand shoots up, her fingers inches from Squall’s face* Look into my eyes…

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): *dies*

Rinoa: *chanting and twirling her fingers* You’re-going-to-like-me, you’re-going-to-like-me…did it work?

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): *revives* Fuck, we’re in love. Talk. Use words. We know those. WOO HER!

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): Bullshit! We can still get out of this! Observe!

Squall: …I can’t dance.

Squall: (Internal Dialogue 2): You weak-ass motherfucker. How dare you stand against destiny?!

Rinoa: You’ll be fine. Come on. *grabs Squall by the arm and starts dragging* I’m looking for someone. I can’t be on the dance floor alone.

Squall (Internal Dialogue 1): NOOOOOOO!!!!

Squall (Internal Dialogue 2): YEEEEESSS!!!

I hope I have conveyed the internal struggle of one Squall Leonhart to the satisfaction of everyone. I love torturing characters. It’s fun.

+ bonus

The pyramids were built by contemporary workers who received wages and were fed and taken care of during construction

The Dendera “lightbulb” is a representation of the creation myth and has nothing to do with electricity

We didn’t find “““copper wiring””” in the great pyramid either

Hatshepsut wasn’t transgender

The gods didn’t actually have animal heads

Hieroglyphs aren’t mysteriously magical; they’re just a language (seriously we have shopping lists and work rosters and even ancient erotica)

The ancient Egyptian ethnicity wasn’t homogeneous

While the Egyptians were fine-ass astronomers they didn’t align any of their enormous and/or important buildings to modern star constellations, because constellations look very different now than they did ~5000 years ago 

Speaking of that particular sphinx, the Napoleonic expedition is not responsible for its missing nose

Akhenaten was not a “heretic” by contemporary standards

Ramses II appropriated a lot of his predecessors’ buildings/reliefs and isn’t really deserving of the epithet “the Great”

It was not, in fact, practice to shave off eyebrows after cats died; Herodotus lied about that

Here are some vetted Egyptological books/sources (that are by and large appropriate for a lay-audience) you can find most, if not all of the above:

Lehner, M., The Complete Pyramids

Wilkinson, R. H., The Complete Temples of Ancient Egypt

Hornung, E., The One and the Many: Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt

Dunand, F. & Zivie-Coche, C., Gods and Men in Egypt

Kemp, B., Ancient Egypt: Anatomy of a Civilization

Bard, K., An Introduction to the Archaeology of Ancient Egypt

Stevenson Smith, W., The Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt

No.

They are NOT.

Have any real temporary shelters been allowed in?

Tents? Blankets? Mattresses?

Clothes for families, especially for the children?

It’s November and the weather is getting cold. Kids barely have enough clothes and shoes.

But no one is thinking about any of this, especially those who want to implement a “peace plan.”

No!!!!! It not in their mind because they do not see us as humans.

For example. Some Latinate languages, take Italian, have around five vowel sounds, going up a little counting relatively minor variants. Germanic languages have a lot more vowel sounds that Latinate ones do, however -- English has upward of a dozen, which need to be represented with five-maybe-six letters. That's why the As in "And", "Ball" and "Face" sound so different -- they're not the same vowels!

As another example, take the word "Thought" -- sound it out. There are only really three sounds/mouth movements going on in most pronunciations -- a sibilant against the front teeth ("Th"), a vowel noise in the back of the throat ("ough"), and the final tap ("t"). Seven letters for three sounds!
