if your animal is lying on the floor, furniture etc, it’s important to take a picture of them. then, if they move or shift in any way, it’s important to take another picture. with this technique, you can take many pictures of your animal

Since I talk about the difference between history as a hobby and as professional research reasonably often, here are books I think you should read if you want to think more about how history is created:

Time’s Monster: How History Makes History by Priya Satia

Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-century Europe by Hayden White

Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History by Michel-Rolph Trouillot

The Past is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal

Along the Archival Grain: Epistemic Anxieties and Colonial Common Sense by Ann Laura Stoler

Dust: The Archive and Cultural History by Carolyn Steedman

If other people have books they would consider key, please add them. It might be good to start a longer list.

I’ve been doing some field work with geologists this winter and I’m kind of amazed by how these dudes can pick up a handful of dirt and talk about it for an hour using terms I’ve never heard of. Like wow you see a whole universe in there that I don’t. The world is truly full of beauty and we only comprehend a fraction of it.

the thing about Roman poetry is that it’s like the pastoral ideal is violence and farming is violence and love is violence and sex is violence and religion is violence and heroism is violence and the res publica is violence and poetry itself is violence

[neolithic hottie who's been easing back into the modern dating scene]: so when he said he was a pot caster i thought he was a good artisan with a reliable income. But turns out he just talks to himself all day mostly. People don't even come to listen and he doesn't know shit about ceramics. Sometimes one of his friends is there though.

[One eyed priest-king who's been frozen in the ice for 10 000 years next to a mammoth but is starting to thaw]: girl no wayyyyy. What is slip casting a pot btw. The use of that technique (not to be confused with slipware) purportedly only dates back to the Tang Era (618–917).

these cypresses are completely laced thru by wisteria and I was so activated by the sight of them I literally pulled over on the side of the road to take a picture (even tho their best angle was the north (left) side)
