A milestone!

Thank you to everyone, I really do put a lot of effort into trying to cultivate quality content on here, and I hope you enjoy it– an 80/20 goal of primary sources and nonfiction works and original posts/edits versus memes and more light-hearted posts was my initial goal when starting this blog. I do work pretty diligently on my original content (except for the off-the-cuff posts)… original posts only are here, if anyone feels like browsing.

Also a sidenote that this is a sideblog– I can’t follow anyone back on here. If you want to follow my main/personal, that one is @alicehoffmans – but I post a lot less history on there now that I have this blog; so if you only follow history-centric blogs I wouldn’t recommend that one. 

Asks and requests are welcome, if you’ve sent any I’ve not responded to I thank you for your patience– and know that I intend to answer them, and will when I’m in the right headspace and have the resources I need at my fingertips. I have turned anon off; if you are shy please don’t be! I’m very approachable, I try to answer asks as equitably as possible. I think of myself as an open book, really…esp. as far as opinions go.

These asks will, granted, generally not have very long answers– those are very time-consuming. If in-depth and lengthy answers with multiple sources are what you’re looking for; head over to my ko-fi, donate and let me know which ask is yours.

In the future, I hope to also do book reviews, tv episode reviews, and other article-like posts upon requeset and by comission/for ko-fi as well. My idea was to have it negotiable by length (or perhaps, for non-reviews, number of sources); if I ever get the inspiration again for article-length posts, unasked, I will start to add my ko-fi link at the bottom as a sort of self-promotion (in case anyone wants to request a similar length article, or likes the writing style/enjoyed reading it)– if this bothers you, you can always blacklist ko-fi or unfollow. 

These are my two most recent ones, which I’ve edited with the ko-fi inclusion:

Well, Pull Them Down, Your Majesty, You Are What I Said: Part ½

Well, Pull Them Down, Your Majesty, You Are What I Said: Part 2/2

Here’s a list of references on my main (I hope to update it…at some point), and am always open to reading/article/documentary recs as well! And giving them, if I know of any for that particular subject/topic/historic figure. 

Cheers and thanks again! 🥂
