I’ve been listening to long YouTube video essays about Mayan and Aztec culture this week and I think we should all indulge interests we’ve had since we were kids! Honestly all North and South American indigenous cultures created such cool things and have such rich history while still thriving today! you should probably watch some video essays on them and learn I think or let me know which one you like to learn about. For me I’m most interested in the aforementioned nations and ancient China.

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

If you’re looking for a reliable and extensive resource for learning, I highly recommend JSTOR. It’s an online library filled with academic articles, books, and primary sources across a wide range of topics like history, science, literature, and more. The content is curated and trustworthy, making it a perfect place to explore in-depth research or even just to satisfy your curiosity about niche subjects. I use it all the time, and it’s my favorite platform for learning!
You should look into some niche philosophy and sociology topics—they’re super interesting! Like the philosophy of humor, which dives into why we laugh and how comedy connects us, or time perception across cultures, exploring how different societies experience time. Another cool one is the ethics of memory, looking at how communities decide what to remember or forget. Even stuff like moral luck (how much of morality is out of our control) or urban sociology (how city design impacts social behavior) is fascinating!

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.

I think mountain lions are so cool, just thinking about them right now. If I could have a mountain lion as a companion I so would. They are beautiful creatures, iconic symbols of the American west, which I also love. If I ever saw one in the wild I would be so scared but later I’d think it was cool.

I have always been on selfies and yes it’s kinda embarassing and yes it’s kinda cringe but I think taking photos of ourselves in moments helps you feel like you have moments that are worth documenting AND you look good in them! Also funny factor on selfies is so good. Look at this selfie I took.
