I'm only halfway though Hbomberguy's new video and I dont know if this is a universal experience but my main horrified takeaway from hbomb's plagiarism video so far is that one of my highschools TAUGHT AN ENTIRE CLASS OF 13 YEAR OLDS TO PLAGIARISE. LIKE, ON PURPOSE.

I ended up moving to a much better highschool, but my first highschool essentially taught us to "write" essays by reading what someone else had written and then write what they said again but putting it "into your own words". Which in practice was teaching us to change, for example, "the works of Shakespeare were regarded by many as the first popular art form" to "Shakespeare's plays have been said by some to be the first example of popular media". One teacher actually told us that the process of writing an essay was "saying what the people you've researched have said, in a way where it sounds like you said it".

Like. The tactics that actual plagiarists use to hide the fact that they were stealing. An actual teacher tried to teach me to do that.

not attaching this to that post because obvioulsy the unexamined colonialism is more important than like. nitpicking historical details. but also its such a shame so many fantasy settings are so incurious about actual medieval european food because its so much more diverse and interesting than a bland assumption that everyone is eating either a big cartoon roast Meat™ or a potato stew and thats all there was. like im not a food history expert at all but ive been to reenactor banquets prepared by people who Are and these guys are out here doing the absolute most. making reproduction menus from specific stories or events and reconstructing recipes from extant medieval cookbooks (that are just online for free btw!) and re-building awareness of local native staple ingredients that have been all but lost (in this case lost largely due to the cultural impositions of that same colonial empire) and learning how to grow historically common fruit and veg that has been left behind. your modern day diet is probably more monotonous in terms of veggies than an average medieval irish person's but you'd never think so going by any fiction thats ostensibly set pre-1500

idk i just think if u Are writing a medieval-europe-based setting this information is pretty accessible and makes your world more interesting and more real and its FUN, so resorting to the genre classics of Ambiguous Potato Dish is genuinely lazy. sorry.

sometimes I think about the fact that horror is on the whole not a particularly respected genre of media and then my drive to get my PhD gets stronger

cons of going to a “good schoolTM”: insane workload, unbearable classmates, next to no support when you have any kind of extenuating circumstances Including literal hospitalization, etc

pros of going to a “good schoolTM”: the 9-5 lifestyle is genuinely a major improvement

I occasionally make posts about history stuff and whatever grabs hold of my little bastard brain (as soon as I get one week without a major assignment due I'll make a new one, we're just at that fun part of the semester), so if anyone has ideas for fun stuff I'd gladly take them👉🏻👈🏻

And if you're new here and want to read about the history of sheet ghosts or queer saints it's under the #gay history time tag

My entire brain is probably going to be consumed by yellowjackets this month but I also am drowning just a lil

I have multiple papers I have to write & research to do & stats assignments etc this month. The semester ends 4/27 and then I have a month off before summer classes but have to work on a paper then too. Suffice to say I want to be here but final stretch of the semester so you know. Weeps.
