it wild to me that there are people out there who aren't interested in history

like wdym you don't think about the fact that women would tell stories as they made butter in the same way we listen to podcasts today? wdym you don't think about that one Chinese poet who wrote about how much he loved his cats hundreds of years ago? wdym you don't think about the fact that we found a gravesite of a young child surrounded by flowers from THOUSANDS of years ago? wdym you don't think about how people wrote "i was here" into the walls in Pompeii? wdym you don't think about the little egyptian boy who drew little doodles at the top of his school works more then a thousand years ago?

wdym you don't think about the fact that people, no matter the place, time, or social status, are fundamentally no different from you. that they loved the same as you, enjoyed the same things you did, dreamed about a better life the same way you did. that despite how seemingly detached you are from these people, in time, place, and culture, the things you do and what u are is so undeniably human that it transcends time and space

One of my favorite historical tidbits is that Arab traders, for centuries, fooled Europeans into thinking cinnamon came from a rare, vicious and fearsome cinnamon bird.

The belief was so prevalent, in fact, that the mythical cinnamon bird shows up in the writings of Herodotus and Aristotle, all the way into medieval European manuscripts where it’s illustrated in all its fierce, cinnamony glory:

Pliny the Elder expressed skepticism of the bird in his writings, rightly assuming that it was a tale invented to keep control on the trade and prices by reducing competition, but the belief was already so widespread that it persisted in many areas into the early 1300’s.

I've been keeping my hair in two braids like this Icon and it's growing so healthy now ! ! ! !

100% recommend ✌️😚

Hace 7 meses (aproximadamente) me corté el pelo por el mentón para hacer un reset y crecerlo más sano porque lo tenía en capas y bastante maltratado.

Desde que pude trenzarlo, lo mantuve así lo más posible y ahora mi pelo llega debajo de los hombros ! ! ! De vez en cuando me paso aceite de oliva en las puntas y lo dejo toda la noche.

Mi tipo de pelo es 1B, es lacio y bastante cantidad. No sé si tiene mucha relevancia pero bueno. ᵐᵘᵃᵏ 💋
