I wasn’t looking for any information about railroads and now I’m left with that + knowledge about spaceships, Roman chariots and one (1) unexpected but welcome joke.
I am now trying to figure out how to share this (the age-appropriate parts) with my middle school history students. What a great chain of facts!
the best part of being a kid was when you realized that birth is a curse and existence is a prison but instead of being sad about it just ignored it entirely for months or even years by roleplaying being a horse or a mythical creature or a warrior cat or something 24/7
oh to be 8 years old and capable of ignoring all my questions and insecurities about my body and identity by simply imagining that i’m a feral cat living in the woods again
