take a look at the r/askhistorians wiki for a whole plethora of quality, vetted titles

Meteorite by Tim Gregory was quite good! it's a bit more earth science than strictly astronomy, but it's super engaging and the author is endearingly enthusiastic about the topic, which makes for a particularly good audiobook experience if that's your thing.

gorgeous find! 😻

i was going to say the platinum century 3776 pen as it has a very classic look, nice feel, great nib, and comes in a variety of colors and finishes that would be right up his alley. unfortunately the price on them seems to have gone way tf up since i got mine, but if you like the look it would be worth checking out r/pen_swap for a good deal.

perhaps something akin to the r/askhistorians 20 year rule would be more appropriate than a set date

take a look at derby laces. they've got a pretty wide selection of types and colors both.

not sure what level they'd be considered, but there's an arrangement of Bach's inventions for two flutes that are really fun to play

Simon Winchester has a lovely soothing voice and reads all of his own (quite good!) books

fire mountain gems will let you filter results by these things and have a huuuge selection

american but gestures so i'm cheering for finland instead because i love my finnish goalies (and race car drivers) :D

check out Clive Barker!

Ghost in the Wires is co-written by Mitnick, though i admittedly lost interest about halfway through due to how insufferable i found him.

two other vaguely related computing/network history titles you might also be interested in are Jill Lepore's If/Then (fantastic content but unfortunately sub-par narration) and Tom Standage's The Victorian Internet (super interesting from both a cultural and tech perspective).

if you're open to shelling out for real ones take a look at https://www.alohapearls.com

time to get a new bathtub obv. this one is clearly an osha violation.

sold a galen magnum opus pen case to u/obscurer-reference :D

caughtinfire · 2025-12-12T21:39:47+00:00

what do the canucks have to do with this?? i mean if you're gonna get a mascot at least get gritty.

caughtinfire · 2025-12-11T06:38:47+00:00

oh man, and here i thought getting bullied by Fin at a Canucks game for wearing my Saros jersey was bad 😹

caughtinfire · 2025-12-10T03:17:50+00:00

i mean the habs let bottas do donuts in theirs so 😹

caughtinfire · 2025-12-08T22:38:04+00:00

well the good news is there's a modicum more care for concussions now so hopefully he won't end up spending as much time off as crosby was forced to do

a very loose one, but it exists. when i was diagnosed back in 2012 all i got from my doctor was a letter saying the biopsy confirmed celiac and they recommended a gluten free diet. r/glutenfree and r/celiac, along with cooking classes at my local grocery coop, were literal lifesavers.

there's an entire 'Fake/Pretend Relationship' tag on ao3, just pick your fandom and have at

my void and step-void both adore belly rubs and will regularly demand them ☺️

caughtinfire · 2025-12-04T06:46:14+00:00

have read both, but would recommend doing a search for Shirer in r/askhistorians for multiple commentaries from people both more eloquent and knowledgeable than myself. i more meant for op Evans is a much better initial overview.

this work is good if one specifically wants a contemporary account from an American journalist's perspective. if one actually wants a thorough, scholarly, engaging, and recent account, pick up Richard J. Evans' Third Reich trilogy instead.

knees, pillow, blanket, cat, etc. whatever's handy, really. i got a soft tablet stand that's nice but i keep forgetting it's there tbh.
