I say it often enough that I should just have a ‘Bad Decisions Made Here Daily’ sign made up to put on the wall.

Now that Britney Spears is free, she’s inevitably going to do something weird and off-putting because she was in a long term traumatic situation with very little control of her life and getting your shit together is hard in the best of times and that does shit to a person and I’m genuinely afraid the public who has been rooting for her for so long is going to turn on her and even start questioning whether or not it’s good for her to be free of the conservatorship and people are gonna need to remember that the answer to that question is unequivocally yes

bad news is that i have spent years cultivating the ability to pass as a normal social person in public only for it to be largely undone by 2020. the good news is that everyone else is ALSO out of practice so me being a giant weird is excusable
the context of this is that i shook someone's hand for the first time in years and i went about it in the weirdest weird possible and was like "sorry that was a pretty hesitant hand shake" and he replied "no it's okay. it was nice and warm." no offense but what the F U C K kind of conversation is that

So, you guys remember good old Ea-Nasir? The copper merchant from ancient Mesopotamia who kept stiffing his customers out of their money and copper, and then kept their complaint letters stored in a room in his house, to be found by archaeologists thousands of years later?
Well, I recently learned something that makes that story even better. Most clay tablets from that time period were made of unfired clay, which means that they degraded over time, getting washed away by weather and such. Some of the fired tablets were fired on purpose, but others were fired accidentally when the building they were stored in were burnt down.
That means that in this case there are three options. (1) The tablets in Ea-Nasir’s house were unfired and just really randomly lucky to survive. (2) Ea-Nasir’s house was burnt down, likely by someone he owed money to. (3) Ea-Nasir not only kept a bunch of complaint letters in his house, but fired them to preserve them.
The drama of Ea-Nasir is more compelling than pretty much all of the MCU
