a little help please, students
slightly terrified for tomorrow
i volunteer at a battlefield and im giving my first tour of our field hospital all on my own tomorrow afternoon
i know my stuff but being autistic makes it kind of hard to properly articulate it without rambling on, especially since this is my special interest
any tips ?
What made you become accustomed to history, I meant to say.
ahh, understood, thank you for the clarification <:
honestly, history is like a heavy, warm blanket for me, and it always has been. when i was a much younger boy, i used to spend hours piecing apart books about medical history, mostly to try and impress my mother because she was very much one of those conditional love types. when that didn't work, i kept learning about it for myself, it was a form of escapism and a labour of love to read all about different people and places and events in history.
not to mention the way that it fit in my brain in a way that i didn't have the language for at the time (now i know its because of my autism). history happens in quiet places, with comforting, dedicated, and intelligent people, and it requires higher and critical thinking. i realize that might sound a touch elitist, but im afraid it's the truth. and the people around me that were interested in history were more than happy to chat about it for hours on end because no one becomes a historian for the money (median salary for historians where i live is about 60000 a year).
i want to be able to kindle and inspire others to explore history because of how much of a comfort it is to me. i can't help but feel a little twinge of hurt and sadness when history courses are dropped due to lack of interest, or when people make fun of historians for being dusty and old.
i know this was a bit of a ramble, but i hope i answered your question <:
give me more of an excuse to talk <:
reblog if you want more interaction w your lovely followers

personally i dont think ill ever really understand pushback against using queer to describe an lgbtq+ person (especially from/by the queer community), its honestly a beautiful word and while it's been used and may be continue to be used to hurt us sometimes, i just really like that word
op you're 100% in the right here (in my humble opinion), keep up the good work <:
I hold such a special place in my heart for quote "out dated" queer language. Like now terms like transexual, transvestite and such are not used frequently or even considered totally incorrect bordering on offensive and yet... I find the existence of it so comforting. In a world where we lost almost an entire generation of queer people to the AIDS crisis and where anti-queer specifically anti trans rhetoric is increasing exponentially the simple fact we have tangible linguistic proof of history and evolution as a community is so incredibly comforting.
