I'm Helen, I write historical books, so far about the Inca Empire for kids & adults with a focus on incredible women who lived back then but got sidelined by traditional history books.

#OtD 24 Jun 1763 William Trent in Philadelphia recorded an attempt to use biological warfare against Native Americans. He wrote that British troops gave blankets and a handkerchief from a smallpox hospital to 2 chiefs during peace talks.

which podcasts would you recommed for a 13-year-old who one day ago discovered there's actually excess food and empty apartments enough for everybody and people routinely die of hunger and exposure for no reason, just to appease the 1% who also burn twice as much carbon as the whole 50% poorest, and kid in question is feeling quite, political, about the world they just found themselves living in
I'd love to know which you prefer. Coming soon...!
Thanks!

I did put together a list of my #interests , in lieu of a more proper introduction rn
I don't really like thinking about them as interests so much, but more this is a list of the type of stuff I tend to share and talk about
I hope that's helpful!
#music #movies #tv & #literature
#art ( #abstract #digitalart #comics )
#anime & #manga
#gaming (on #nintendo & #xbox , #rpg and #simulationgames mostly)
#lgbtqia ( #trans #enby #genderfluid #abrosexual )
#anticaptalism
#disability (esp #invisibledisability #ptsd & #nd )
#science ( #tech #medicine #octopuses etc)
#communitycare
so yeah, that's pretty much what I talk about
yes I put octopuses under science cus they're nifty
rant, bad journalism
Seeing some unfortunately-common and very shoddy reporting based on "we asked people what they thought of the economy and here's what they said" but framed as "this is what is happening in the economy". You can replace economy with any other complicated question, but journalism should be more than asking people who are not qualified to make statements without evidence and then reporting said statements as fact.
Not sure how to actually fix this problem though.
