Happy birthday, caitri!









Once I get more ink for my printer I'll make return address labels for you with these ladies on them.

OMG THOSE ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

(wait on the return labels, just in case ;))

[minoanmiss]

*beams* You are most welcome. As I flailed towards saying in email, I wanted to give you lady scribes because you are a lady scholar in the best possible way, synthesizing being a scholar with what you've learned about humanity from being a woman and being open-hearted, working to refute the notion that academia is some pure bastion of reason uninfluenced by human fallibility and cultural priorities, and to push academia to be its best self of truly exploring the knowledge of all humanity.

*hugs you a lot*

[caitri]

You make my heart too full, bb. <3

[lindahoyland]

I love them.

[minoanmiss]

*beam* Thank you. :)

I not only love the images-- I love the idea of them.

[minoanmiss]

Eee, yes, the idea of them. When I found the Egyptians had a word for 'lady scribe' I was so happy. I love the concept and realities of women of letters.

[amaebi]

Yay!

[acelightning]

What's the Egyptian word for "lady scribe"?

[minoanmiss]

I don't remember. But I still remember they had one!

[acelightning]

Even if it was just the word for "scribe" with the marker for "feminine/female", that would be cool.

Once when I was working at the UN, running the audio for a French-language commentator on the proceedings, he decided to give me credit on the air (this was going out over the Voice of America radio to Europe and parts of Africa), and he referred to me as "la technicienne", which utterly charmed me.

Those ladies are lovely and a delight.

I so hope your interview goes well!

[minoanmiss]

thank you x 2, ma belle!

[darkmarcy]

Ooh, they are lovely! Good colour schemes in both.

[minoanmiss]

*backflips in joy*
*lands with a thud*

Seriously, though, I thought about the color schemes, and I'm always extra delighted when you like what I've done. :D

[corylea]

Those are lovely!

[minoanmiss]

*beams* Thank you. :)
