@deathbybadger.bsky.social Is there an open editable template for these games that anyone can use or do you just make your own? I found a template for Lazers and Feelings but I like the portrait orientation.

There's a common misconception that brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.

King Tutankhamun, whose name means “living image of Amun” is perhaps the most famous figure from ancient Egypt due to his tomb being almost intact when discovered. He ascended the throne at eight years old and ruled for nine years (1332-1323 BCE). He likely had multiple disabilities, including a clubfoot and a cleft palate. He also had twisted hips and various issues which may have resulted from genetic issues due to inbreeding. He was buried with multiple canes, some of which had handles modeled on rival heads of state. He reversed many of his father’s changes during his reign, reestablishing the prominence of the god Amun, moving the capital back to Memphis and restoring traditional polytheistic worship. Like all other pharaohs, he was worshiped as a living god during his lifetime. Find the full Ancient Egypt and Disability zine free here : https://linktr.ee/disabilityark

The work of a scribe involved long hours doing repetitive tasks in strained postures that took their toll on their bodies. People who were literate in ancient Egypt often had higher positions in society and consequently were likely to live longer. Scribes were a critical part of administering the bureaucracy involved in maintaining a complex civilisation. The work of a scribe involved spending hours in cross legged or kneeling postures and using a pen, which caused overloading and strain on muscles and joints. The rates of osteoarthritis and other health problems in the joints was much higher among scribes than the general population. The skeletal remains of scribes still bear the marks of these occupational hazards on the jaw, neck, shoulder, knee, ankle and hip joints.

Siptah was a child pharaoh with a clubfoot who ruled for six years after ascending to the throne at age eleven (1193-1187 BCE). His name means “Son of Ptah, Beloved of Ptah” and his throne name meant “Beautiful for Re, Chosen by Re”. His left foot had contractions, which may have been due to poliomyelitis, but also possibly cerebral palsy. He died young, around age sixteen. During his reign, Egypt was functionally in control of his stepmother Queen Twosret and Chancellor Bay also played a part in taking the throne. Siptah ruled at a politically complex time with many challenges. Find the full Ancient Egypt and Disability zine free here : https://linktr.ee/disabilityark

There are three disabled servants from the tomb of the viziers Khety and Baqt in Beni Hassan. The tomb dates to the First Intermediate Period. One servant has a spinal curvature and is the very last in line but damage has erased the central part of the paint. Few anatomical details have been rendered on the representation, but we can still see that the bump was rendered by an elevation of the right arm as well as a lower-than-average head. Preceding him is a man with clubbed foot, and a man with dwarfism. Each man has an inscription above him: “dwarf person,” “disabled” [i.e. lower limb impairment] and the word jw above the person with a spinal disability, which is a hapax. Egyptologist P. E. Newberry considered that it could be the name of the man, while for A. Erman and H. Grapow, the word designates infirmity: “a physically disabled man.” Find the full Ancient Egypt and Disability zine free here : https://linktr.ee/disabilityark

Seneb (2520 BCE) (ancient Egyptian for “Healthy”) was a man with dwarfism who lived during the Old Kingdom period in ancient Egypt. His tomb stands in the Royal Necropolis of Giza close to the Pyramids, and while his body was lost and most contents looted long ago, the inscriptions from his false door and statue tell us a few things about his life. He held many ceremonial titles such as Holder of the King’s Linen and Overseer of the Sacred Barque, and served as a Priest of Wadjet. He had a wife named Senitites, who was a Priestess of Hathor and Neith, and with whom he had three children. His inscriptions tell us he participated in the funeral procession of the Pharaoh Khufu, and that he owned “several thousand herds of cattle”. He was undoubtedly a man of great importance.
