THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN

Major emergency!!!

My roommate and I are trans and disabled, and yesterday he had to go to the ER because he keeps almost dying from his disability. We need help stabilizing some to make sure he can get better. The goal below is to cover a week's rent, due Wednesday, food, transportation, air filters and his medication.

We need to meet this goal by Wednesday to get all needs met, we have been trying for almost a week. I will do art for anyone who gives $50+, just dm me at my artblog @theartistrans

Dm me for proof or details

Down a Rabbit Hole I Went

I screwed up. I didn't think that using an ancient language on a piece of tumblr merch was necessary but I forgot what site I was on :) . This is tumblr, of course it has to be in linguistically accurate cuneiform. I went and hired an expert on Ancient Semitic Languages and Cultures. There aren't as many as you'd think that are willing to translate text for an internet gag so I'm so happy I found Paul.

Notes on the translation from the translator:

I used the ventive suffix on the imperative "give (rib+am)" which is a special feature of Akkadian that indicates the motion of direction. It makes it a little bit more authentic. The longer version actually includes the words "to me (ana iasim)", but a typical Akkadian speaker probably wouldn't have needed to say that.

Also, for the word "money" I used the Sumerian (KUG.BABBAR) instead of spelling out the Akkadian, because that was a common feature in Akkadian scribal writing. For the font I was happily surprised that Google has a Cuneiform font, so not only is it correct but it looks pretty neat too. Right now you can buy both versions in the shop but cuneiform version won't ship for a week or so as I have to order new stock with the new design.
