How to make a woman climax.
Answer, scale a mile high sheer rock have.
About the African samurai, Yasuke.
I learned about him fairly recently too. The end of his life struck me as brutal.
My understanding is that no one actually knows what happened to him in the end.
I mean how everyone began to treat him in the absence of the emperor. I don’t know, maybe I’m just used to Japan being an innately ethnically warm culture.
Apparently you can be a successful author without using correct punctuation
Which book was that?
Blindness by José Saramago
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
That it doesn’t matter how powerful wizard you are, you’ll still need to find a way to pay your rent.
The Wizard of Oz?
The word “yclept,” meaning “by the name of”.
“Yclept moon, I punish you” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
Pretty much everything in The Dawn of Everything tbh. The diversity of social organization going back thousands of years, regardless of means of subsistence. The range of conceptions of property, ethics, hierarchy, power, rights, etc.
Particularly interesting in American societies pre-colonization, since it seems the implicit image of them in the popular consciousness is a homogeneous series of small, isolated tribes, consisting of either noble savages or primitive barbarians, entirely ignorant of agriculture. When in reality a good many of them practiced agriculture in various ways, some of which colonizers simply didn’t notice because they weren’t as invasive as European methods.
Also that agriculture isn’t necessary for the development of complex, large social structures, nor does the advent of agriculture necessitate the development of rigid hierarchies and exploitation.
Turns out the agricultural revolution and its consequences weren’t a disaster for the human race. Sorry David Quinn.
TIL anyone thought the adoption of agriculture was a bad thing.
Might as well see book ads soon saying “coming soon to your bookshelf, learn why the sun is actually humanity’s arch nemesis.”
To be fair, it’s slightly more nuanced than I stated lol. But still incorrect.
Idk the last book I read was The Mist by Stephen King
