What the heck is this?
So, you’ve been thrown back in time. Now what? You can use a calculator but could you make one? How do you use an astrolabe? Can you live off potatoes? Let’s learn together!
Who are you?
I am a well-meaning stranger
How often is this updated?
Once the research is done, usually on a Friday. Sometimes a Wednesday. Time is fluid.
Between full posts, I am on Tumblr for updates or just for chatting
Is there an age recommendation/warning?
Science and history are for everyone, so is this. I save my swearing for the writing process.
What tools do you use to make this?
Currently, I draw all the art and diagrams on my iPad (using Procreate). This website is currently using the Blocksy theme
In addition, my soul, which I sold to the devil at the crossroads for a good deal on primary sources that I store in Zotero
When did this start?
July 2019 for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 moon landing
Hey, this page looks a little different than I remember, why is that?
Either you stepped out of sync with your timeline or you found a section I edited. It’s really 55:45
Who is the Control Institute of Standards/CIOS/Cult of Sanitation?
Not sure, but the explorer whose guidebook we are…borrowing doesn’t seem to care for them
Should I risk my life with this new information?
Please don’t. Learning is its own adventure
Anything else?
None of the artwork and writing on this site was created with the use, in whole or in part, with AI. That’s not my jam—I just like em dashes. It’s hard enough to find primary sources as it is.
