          Reminding me of the local city clerk who was on vacation, called me back without listening to my detailed voice mail, and told me she didn’t have any of the paperwork I knew she had.

          Same clerk called me back 5 minutes later saying it was on her desk, but buried b/c she had been on vacation.

          Like how is this my fucking problem jfc…

      I wonder if there was an ‘ALL CAPS’ version of cuniform writing

      or maybe they just used a bigger heavier tablet to convey the emphasis.

      A small four ounce tablet for regular messages, 10 ounces to show concern, 1lb to show immediate concern … a big giant 50lb rock to show you’re angry, pissed off and want answers now!

        There was this from the Bible lol:

        “See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭11‬ ‭ESV‬‬

          Why do I get the sense that the bible might have been just a lost data archive for an ancient Tumblr community

        Possibly? I’m not an archaeologist.

        The triangular end is what’s pushed into the clay to write like this. I suppose there’s a limit to how deep you can go, but I bet that with enough practice, a reader could tell the difference between consistently shallow and deep impressions. Pressing really hard into the clay might be the same as adding emphasis.

        Although, I like your version of just using a bigger hunk of ceramic to make a point. You have to wait longer for it to dry and it’s heavier to transport. It’s like saying “by the time you get this, I’ve already been pretty mad for about a week.”

        And/or deliver the tablet with more force. Personally I’d opt for the 1 pound tablet and chuck it at their lower midsection.

      Fun fact: Either this guy’s bloodline died out, or he is very, very likely one of your ancestors.
