Today, scottish Arch-TERF JK Rowling announced she's funded a competing rape crisis centre in Edinburgh that will only serve cis women, apparently as a fuck-you to the existing Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre, which has a trans woc CEO and has endured months of harrassment from TERFs to the point of temporary closure. Please show some support to the current trans-inclusive ERCC if you can:
The probably three-storey ziggurat was surrounded by a complex system of walls and courts, which separated the holy district from the rest of the city. Archaeological records document various installations. Texts inform us that various activities were conducted in different courtyards.
In an extensive process, a range of secondary sources were consulted to create an image of over 4000 years ago. Over 4000 human models and 300 buildings were used in this view.
