“oh We Can’t Hold The Queen Accountable For The Actions Of Her Ancestors!!!”

“oh we can’t hold the Queen accountable for the actions of her ancestors!!!”

her ancestors? you mean her dad?

y’all realize she was crowned in 1953 right? Nearly 70 years of imperialism with her face stamped on it. She’s the longest-lived, and longest reigning British monarch.

Y’all look at her and see a kindly withered old gramma with memeability, but completely ignore the amount of damage that she and her family have done to so many countries.

“oh well, what did you want her to do, just walk away from it?”

yes.

Yes, I do expect people to look at the harm that systems they uphold do to the world at large and then actively refuse to continue their participation in them. I do not believe that is too much to ask of anyone, let alone one of the most powerful women in the entire fucking world.

Sorry that I’m not particularly impressed with her #girlboss legacy when the Indigenous Peoples of Canada and Australia are still feeling the monarchy’s effects on their homes and families.

70 years and she never once thought, “Hm, maybe imperialism is a bad idea?”

I hope the old woman kicks the bucket, and I hope that her family continues to disintegrate until the entire thing comes crumbling down. May independence finally come to the people England has been crushing under its boots for centuries.

Oldest medical amputation on record was performed on a Stone Age child in Borneo 31,000 years ago

About 31,000 years ago, a skilled prehistoric surgeon cut off the lower leg of a child hunter-gatherer in Borneo. Now, archaeologists have concluded that this ancient surgery is the earliest medical amputation on record.

The skill of the Stone Age surgeon was admirable; the patient went on to live an additional six to nine years after the surgery, a radiocarbon dating performed by researchers of the individual’s tooth enamel revealed, according to a study published online Wednesday (Sept. 7) in the journal Nature.

“It was a huge surprise that this ancient forager survived a very serious and life-threatening childhood operation, that the wound healed to form a stump and that they then lived for years in mountainous terrain with altered mobility,” study co-author Melandri Vlok, a bioarchaeologist and postdoctoral research associate at the University of Sydney,“ said in a statement. ”[This suggests] a high degree of community care.“ Read more.

I didn’t start my doll phase till I was a bit older but I had monster high, ever after high, and lalaloopsy dolls. The monster high & ever after ones I took care of like they were my own children but the lalaoopsy I graffitied all over in an attempt to make them look more like the other two, my mother was less than pleased considering what she had to pay for them bc of our financial state at the time.

i played with bioncles as a kid but i used them as boyfriends and husbands for my polly pockets and bratz dolls idk anything abt the lore or what their names are i called them todd or derick or stuff like that
