Refusing to discuss Netflix documentaries that are obviously history purists' bait is a great part of self-care. I do not discuss Hancock and I do not discuss that Cleopatra thing because it's obvious controversy bait and is not worth my time.

So stop asking me about it.

#I just #can not find it in myself to care about a promo image where the actress is wearing green glitter eye paint in Ptolemaic Egypt #just like I couldn't find the ability to care about some guy larping as an archaeologist #you can always ask about ancient cattle cults #or burial practices #or bronze age trade routes #or writing history #or the silk roads #but I do not discuss history bait ever #because it's stupid #there are like 5 thousand angry archaeologists on bird app bitching about it #and then the discord server I shit post on started @ing me again #the main echelon know I don't engage but the newbies see “server archaeologist” in my user tags and they ask anyway #which sucks because i genuinely want to answer history related questions #but i don't feel bait is worth commenting on
