Trying to outline a fic that's I'd started without one, that's also been bombarding my brain with random ideas I'm how supposed to figure out how to weave together:

What's a difference between historians people who just like to study history?

idk maybe the fulltime yearslong professional training by other professionals and constant peer review aka quality control? what's the difference between a five star chef and someone who makes homemade meals every day.

en-theos

like idk I don't intend to undermine amateurs' efforts and passion and they actually contribute to science/knowledge OFTEN and WELL but generally. generally I get paid for this and they don't because I put in 40+ hours a week at the office, I read thousands of pages a year on just the one topic, I write hundreds of pages on tight deadlines and with full citation, I make use of full institutional resources (scholarship databases academic network field specific technology work events etc etc), and my writing gets checked by numerous colleagues and also two guys who have been working in the field for decades and are specialized in my topic. and criticise me heavily on whatever I hand in in order to improve it. and i/we don't just study history, we are the ones producing it.

I got this job because Ive already spent 7 years in similar institutes training for this fulltime and 6 years before that acquiring the languages to be able to do those 7 years.

aka for comparison that's the same way a chef has years of training, specialisations in national or foreign cuisines, as well as many different types of cooking has then worked his way up in the business being mentored by other chefs from cook to sous chef to chef to chef of michelin restaurants while constantly checked by customers health inspection and food critics and helped by a team of cooks and staff and food suppliers and expensive equipment.

and just like tastes differ but food can be objectively good, knowledge (especially in the humanities) is actually a bunch of consensuses or even just arguments in a trenchcoat but the research has objectively higher truth value. because it's backed up by professional methods and resources and colleagues. that's how we create knowledge.

so let us cook okay

A thing that 'laypeople' often miss:

The ~5-9 years of university training that people go through to work in historical professions are maybe 80% about learning the required skills and only 20% about content (= learning sequences of events or "about" certain phenomena, i.e. what history is in school). If you "study history" for fun in your free time, you're likely reading lots of what other people have written to get to the "content", but may run into issues with stuff like:

1) reliably discerning what factors [historiographical era, school, position in debate] influenced the historian that wrote the piece and hence its usefulness as an account

2) reliably discerning who wrote it in the first place (amateur or pro?) and whether they were using good practices with their sources and methodology. This is important because there are a lot of bad faith and just otherwise poor quality historical interpretations that may be written in an authoritative tone that likely "makes sense" to you if you don't dig deeper into it!

3) if doing original research: evaluating whether something is a primary/secondary source, what circumstances it was created in, whether it's authentic, whether you're missing context, where to find context...

4) Just accessing sufficient information in general (institutional databases but also archives and libraries - for many topics you have to physically go to a specific place!) to be able to make a well-rounded argument

5) like op mentioned, accessing and processing information in multiple languages - you can't really properly study most topics without being able to read sources in the language of that area

6) making sure that what you're researching hasn't actually already been done before

7) Writing up your results in a cohesive, understandable way with solid argumentation and proper citations - so people can hold you accountable and verify your arguments from primary sources if they want to!

The chicken chain was told to "cluck off" the last time it tried to move into the UK. This time, it hired bigger guns.

me: "have they tried not being fucking ignorant religious bigots?"

article: “I suspect that a bit of the steam has gone out of the LGBT thing,” Backman told the right-wing outlet, staying ahead of the issue. “There may be the odd protester, but if they have got armies of PR people laser-focused on that then I suspect it may be OK.”

me: no surprises there... fuck them

We go through a lot of pickles here and this recipe is a good way to use leftover brine.

The thing that pisses me off the most though is the fact I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that still go there, and they are surprised when I actually don't. It's literally like that tweet.
