I’m sitting in the hospital room I’ve been in since Tuesday and can’t even begin to explain how bored I am. Let’s chat about anything except politics, I could use some distraction.

I collect hobbies and may even know something about your hobbies. What do you like to do?

That’s really interesting, is it just a hobby, or your day job also?

How did you get into that? This isn’t a very common hobby!

Honestly it was a natural progression. I got into marxism which means I got into history. So I binged a lot of history youtube and found I really enjoyed pre-colonial American history, especially the Maya. For a time I scratched that itch with youtube videos, podcast episodes, and documentaries but eventually I came to a point where videos were repeating themselves and I wasn’t learning much new. Now, I am a physics major so I read a lot of textbooks and a lot of research papers so I am used to sites like JSTOR and have access to them through my school. So now I spend some of my free time reading about these cultures.

Plenty of alternative sites if you don’t have access though ;)
