PugJesusThat's my secret, Cap. I'm always stressed.
Introductions, and a call for more mods!
Hello everyone! I thought I’d give an introduction for myself and for this comm, so it doesn’t seem quite so empty.
I’m PugJesus - a terminally online user who blathers on about history altogether too much. I particularly enjoy the history of the Roman Republic and Empire, the medieval period, and economic history. I’m not a professional historian, or anyone special like that - I went to college and majored in History, but I was only an undergrad. Thus, my opinion is generally slightly more-informed than the average layman, but only slightly!
I’m very capable of being incorrect, so despite my penchant for convincing-sounding paragraphs, I beg you - don’t ever take my word as gospel, on anything! I’m extremely capable of being wrong, and that’s aside from the issue that history itself is rarely settled! I’m a lowly monoglot (shaming my ancestors) who can’t even read primary sources without a pre-existing translation, and despite my enthusiasm for history, much of my post-college reading has been from an eclectic selection of literature ranging from cutting-edge to hopelessly-out-of-date. A man buys what books and journals he can afford, after all 😭
I already mod more comms than I really want to. But people, otherwise, might be WRONG on the INTERNET, and we can’t have that! If anyone would like to assist with the modding burden - which I expect to be light - feel free to send me a message, and I’ll check your comment history!
If you feel you might be answering often here, feel free to introduce yourself below! Or don’t - all participation in this comm is welcome, at any level of expertise or involvement! We’re here to learn together, after all!
