currently studying history in university and my workload is immense but i'm motivated by trying to understand why things are the way they are now and the different approaches you can take (sociology, anthropology, etc)
Like so many people, I never cared for history. It was always just a bunch of dates, cause-and-effect relationships, and names I had to memorize last minute before an exam. Now that I’m so many years separated from all that, I’ve finally found that I’m entering the pro-history phase of my life. I mean, it’s just so interesting. There’s such finite details available about everything, and sooo many different little niches with tons of resources equally as available as the obvious stuff. oh and it’s true, which is both terrifying and cool.
It's for my dnd campaign lol but now I can't stop learning about ancient civilizations and how those cultures would've evolved without colonial interferences (More specifically Mayan Futurism)
Seriously though getting sucked into random subjects and choosing to jump into the rabbit hole is a special experience
i sometimes feel like asks get lost among other posts and go answered - you never know if the original asker or someone else still needs the answer to a question so why not go ahead and answer even if it’s from a week/month/year ago ❤️
today someone told me something about myself and they were just so completely off base that i started questioning my tone and facial expressions bc that was in no way the vibe i was going for a related anti rec: people who meet you once and assume that they know everything about you (which they obviously don’t)
