Been on a Kate Brown kick! Plutopia is a fascinating historical juxtapose of 2 plutonium plants, Hanford in eastern Washington state, and its Cold War sister site in Myak, in the Soviet Union. Think of these two sites as fenced off company towns that were always better funded than any other proximate regional workplace with better salaries and perks like subsidized homes. Brown said in an interview with Process: A Blog for American History, that these atomic cities bought, “compliant and silent workers, people who willingly traded in their political and biological rights for consumer rights and financial security.” It’s an interesting read. Really great audiobook.

Just started another book by her, Manual for Survival: A Chernobyl Guide to the Future. Through archival reconstruction, Brown posits that we still don’t understand the full health effects of Chernobyl. A hella compelling examination.

when i was an undergraduate student haplessly working on my (very bad) honors thesis about medieval money & its various social problems, one of the best pieces of advice i got was from a fellow student, who told me that her philosophy is that we must sincerely, if temporarily, believe that the chunk of history we are working on is the most important thing in human history. it isn't, of course, it never is, but you still have to believe that—you have to see the web of connections that make the past so vibrantly real in the present, and you have to know that the documents you're looking at illuminate something unique, something vital, to our understanding of the world. i mean, in practice, were we both pretentious? yes, but i still think this attitude towards the world—the sincere belief that any part of it could, at any moment, snap into sharp & overwhelming focus, no matter how temporally removed—is good & true

i don't have a history degree to work on anymore now that i've graduated from college but i still need to satisfy the "learning weird bits of history is fun" part of my brain so periodically i find myself doing things like reading about the time some guys in 1814 manipulated the london stock market by spreading a rumor that napoleon had died, which led to at least one conspirator fleeing the country and another one, an extremely famous officer, being expelled from the navy when it was discovered this was not true

I’ve finished my first book of 2023! On my drive back I listened to “Red Famine: Stalin’s War on Ukraine, 1921-1933” by Anne Applebaum on the famine in the Ukraine. It’s a very good read (or listen), and very enlightening on the causes, methods, and subsequent cover up of the famine. The content is, of course, quite difficult and sad, but if you like history I highly recommend checking it out.

My brain scrambles letters so often and just skips over entire words when I'm reading and also when I'm speaking and it's awesome 👍 😎👍

And, if like me, your local library’s selection of audiobooks is limited and/or they don’t have a lot of what you want, there is also libro.fm which works almost exactly like Audible (for pretty much the same price), but you choose a local independent bookstore to get the money versus Spotify or Amazon.

https://libro.fm/ 

spotify is selling audiobooks now…..once again tapping the sign:

dont give them your money when you could be supporting your local library!

sometimes when I listen to audiobooks I feel connected to other humans far in the past. like this was the original way stories were told, thousands of years before writing was even invented, and has continued through today. it forges this warm connection with my distant ancestors that I love.
