The real cruelty of autism and ADHD is that so often it's inherited from one or both parents who are clearly autistic/adhd/audhd themselves but are undiagnosed & unwilling to believe they're anything other than normal, and I can't think of anyone *less* capable of healthily raising children with these issues than people who have them themselves but lack self-awareness of it

both of these are reconstructions of Nazlet Khater 2, a 35,000 year old skull found in Egypt, left by a team of Brazilian scientists, right by @Sulkalmakh. interesting how different they turned out

(a thread of African genetics and prehistory in general...) in particular there seems to be major disagreement over nose shape, mandible length, and skin around the eyes. given the scientist's methodology and access to 3D materials (it seems they even had the skull's mandible), there's is probably more accurate

in 2020, I started logging every new film i watched. instead of reviving that, I'm just going to start a new, all-encompassing MEDIA* CONSUMPTION** thread

*Media = films, TV shows, video games, books (nonfiction, fiction, comics), albums
**only putting stuff here i've finished for starters, here's every film i watched this past semester for a French Film class. lot of good stuff here but my top 3 would have to be The 400 Blows, La Haine, and Battle of Algiers (though I wrote my final essay analyzing Chocolat)
