ALSO @duckprintspress.bsky.social was like also you married a historian and I was like I know I'm saving that for later when I tell folks about how I asked you something when I started reading Cold Mountain and you went off for 30 minutes and I was like "cool I wasn't sure this was the Civil War."
There's a post going around Tumblr about how like... if you think historians are trying to keep information away from people you really need to crack some books but it got me thinking about how like yeah historians are NOT trying to hide the information, the actual trick is getting us to shut up.
