Onfim was a child who lived in Novgorod, Russia, in the 13th century. He left his notes and homework exercises scratched in soft birch bark (beresta) which was preserved in the clay soil of Novgorod. Onfim, who archaeologists believe was six or seven at the time, wrote in Old Novgorodian; besides letters and syllables, he drew battle scenes and drawings of himself, his family, and his teacher.

Here is a picture of him as a knight stabbing someone.

(At least, he wrote his name next to the knight. Either it was supposed to be him or he was signing his masterpiece. Either way, still adorable.)

Several pictures of the original birch pieces can be found here:  [x]

“people have always been people”

i’ve seen similar ones from roman children living in what is now england, too. People have ALWAYS been people.

i love this so much, history with real people in it see also -archeologists at hadrians wall dig up a letter from a roman soldier to his family tanking them for sending him a new pair of underwear in the mail -norse runes scattered around constantanople and several cathedrals turn out to be viking graffiti, including “this is very high” over two stories up -the oldest known joke (egyptian) and the oldest known english joke are both lowbrow sex jokes -roman gladiators had equivalents to sponsorship deals, some murals found were basically ‘gladiator brad pitt rubs himself with capelli brand olive oil, try some today’ and action figures were also found of prominent fighters for chidlren to play with -flat stone fragments left at egyptian construction sites were used as post it notes by workers, some included variations of ‘the foreman is a jerkface’ and a crude drawing of the pharoh with a comically large donger -we have an embarrassing wealth of 4,000 year old receipts referring to one specific merchant being an ass. WE KNOW HIM BY NAME, he wasnt even a king or anything, Ea-nasir  will be known through history for being a dick about refunds

I love how children, even in the 13th century, can never remember how many fingers someone has. 

The other day, I was riding the bus with my colleagues. We were all wearing our “Down With C.I.S.” shirts (”C.I.S.” stands for “Communists In Seattle”, an extremist left-wing organization who we, as young conservatives, all strongly oppose) from the anti-communist rally we had just attended. We had a great turnout and were heading downtown to celebrate at a local restaurant. Suddenly, as the driver pulled up to the bus stop, I spotted two young men walking down the sidewalk, one of whom had Leiurus quinquestriatus – the death stalker, one of the most deadly and poisonous scorpion species on Earth – crawling around on this totally oblivious gentleman’s back!

Overcome by responsibility, my companions and I swiftly leaped from the bus and onto the young man, tackling him to the ground and trying to kill the deadly scorpion. Unfortunately, the tricky arthropod began skillfully darting back and forth, dodging all of our blows. In our panic to save the young man from the death stalker, we accidentally landed quite a few blows on the man himself, but figured he would certainly prefer that to the instantly paralyzing toxins of a scorpion. We finally got the scorpion, but as we withdrew from the man, he turned and began attacking us, interpreting our attempt to rescue him as an attack! We tried to explain the situation to him but the situation had escalated too quickly. Sensing no other options, my friends and I fled.

We don’t know his name, and I don’t know how, but if there was some way to use social media to relay this message to the man we rescued from the death stalker scorpion, we would certainly appreciate clearing up this misunderstanding. Down with communism.

Me calling myself an idiot passes the Bechdel test

The idea that there’s a lesbian *culture* separate from bi girl culture that bi girls are capable of appropriating or even not naturally privy to is beyond ridiculous.

There’s a huge difference between acknowledging that there are some common differences in what lesbians may experience and what bi girls might experience and… trying to claim there’s a distinct cultural difference between the two?

And it’s almost always people then going on to describe the worst parts of gay girl fashion lol… bi girls are more than welcome to wear crusty birkenstocks as much as they want, it’s not ~lesbian culture~ but they’re still uglee

I’m sorry all y'all “uwu it’s homophobic not to construct large false separations between bi girls and lesbians because that means I’m not better than them”, you’re gonna have to find something else to make you all shiny and unique! I’m sorry your self of self is so fragile that you have to distance yourself from bi women in the most absolutely meaningless ways but! Them’s the breaks sis!!

Oh shit, I can’t handle this. Help.

Add on: I forgot to mention. Kirk is 17 here and Spock is 19. And they have met twice at this point. And Spock is already feeling like this. Hold me.

#Wait… #didn’t Shatner write this???

Omg…
