Well, since you no doubt have access to much of the non-open access data housed behind the paywall in MUSE, JSTOR, you can look up more scholarly and definitive articles yourself, about the DNA testing on the mummies at Thebes, Hathor, and elsewhere.

The script probably has periods at the end of each sentence, too, so I agree this would not be a good match of intentionality for you.

Well, the extensive analysis of her DNA for one thing: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2009/04/hatshe…. And that fact that all the dynastic rulers up until and until well past that generation were white. Queen Ti, the mother of Nefertiti, certainly held a place in the pharaonic court and undoubtedly brought other…

Right. Then those would be the mixed race children of Ptolemaic Greeks, not Ptolemaic Greeks. Cleopatra Tryphoenaea and Ptolemy Auletes were Macedonian, and they were white. This isn’t some kind of Aryan kooky claim on behalf of the European dynasties, because as you can see from today’s news most of Europe doesn’t…

It’s 2.0 in Invercargill, which is on the South Island in New Zealand. Australia is a continent so I can’t give you a city by city account, but it does have a large southern component at about the same latitude, so it also gets quite cold in Hobart, Perth, Adelaide and so on. Maps are your friend, M8!

That it would be both possible and valid to make a film titled “Queen of the Desert” not starring, as you so elegantly put it, “a brown woman.” I don’t get the impression you’re the audience for either contemporary British adaptations or the history of the ancient world, so it’s likely that general lack of interest…

Hatshepsut was a queen of the desert, and she was definitely white. See also: Cleopatra. Can’t get much whiter than the Ptolemaic Greeks.

What about apostrophes, though? Seems like there are too many of those around too.

“...Mt. Everest-level mountain ...”

Many of the world’s great art treasures are clustered in the museums – the Guggenheim, MoMA, and the Met in NYC and the Getty in Malibu, plus many important works scattered through Chicagoland, the Northeast, and San Francisco – in the U.S.

I didn’t say I didn’t live there. Very typically ‘murican response, though. I’d be interested to know what exactly is so objectionable about a comment that is superficially about the inclusiveness that Jezebel likes to go on and on about. I guess I should have directed it in the to: field to white, mainstream,…

I’m not American. Probably a lot of your readers aren’t either. If you wanted to make this an open discussion that would’ve included a lot more of your readers, the question could’ve been phrased: What do you like about America?

I’ve never experienced a cold winter like this...I’ve almost been in tears a few times because I can’t get warm in my house. I know that sounds ridiculous...we have more snow/-0 temps forecast the next three days and I’m thinking seriously about staying in my office....

I wish there were DM in Kinja; it’d sure make it easier here. I’ve actually had some luck making friends on Twitter, because it’s possible to easily find people with somewhat similar interests.

Very well done except for this:

A hubs is a guy who thinks he’s fly...

Too bad it wiped out the apostrophes and compound words in Chicagoland, but, actually, there’s a much larger pole in the Antipodes.

To be fair it is winter in the southern hemisphere and a very cold one in the Pacific Rim so far at that.

I’m sure Ms. Copeland is also celebrated for her ethics.

Gawker Media is being paid by Comedy Central / NBC /Universal to promote Amy Schumer, Jimmy Fallon, et. al. It is not illegal in the sense that Gawker is not a publicly-funded company, like Public Radio or something, but it is extremely unethical and it is quite obvious what is going on. And as you point out they…
