based on my limited knowledge of white wolf games, I think you would get historical utility from:

A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn: the early chapters give a look into how capitalism was born of early slavery and settler-colonialism. The section on Bacon's Rebellion, though occurring in the 1670s, lays out the messy class politics of the time.

Pirate Enlightenment by David Graeber: accounts of 17th century European contact in what would become North America and Madagascar that argues for "The Enlightenment" in Europe being born of European colonist and pirate dialogue with the indigenous Wendat/Huron Confederacy in what's now Canada, the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois Confederacy in what's now the US, and the Malagasy in what's now Madagascar.

For more big picture views of how history and the world function that I think would be helpful for worldbuilding generally

The Conquest of Bread and Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution by Pyotr Kropotkin: foundational anarchist communist texts that provide historical and scientific frameworks for analyzing the systems that govern life and propose alternatives, not as the product of some future threshold of technological advancement, but born of cooperation that has always been possible and has always re-emerged despite repression. Lots of good information on pre-industrial class struggle and biology that you could extrapolate with fantasy elements.

The Dawn of Everything and Debt: The First 5000 Years by David Wengrow and David Graeber: anthropological works focusing on the history of money and politics and debunking the prevalent models of linear progress from "primitivity" to "civilization" and the image of the "noble savage." If you want to understand how the world and societies function and how to conceive of your own for fiction, I think these are the two works most useful for that. I think everyone should read them, they were deeply influential on me, as was all of Graeber's work.

My general advice is always just to read more history, think about the systems and elements that shape a place and her history, and think about how any fantasy element you introduce would affect the structures or power and production that exist.

Summer of Fire and Blood: The German Peasant's War by Lyndal Roper: an excellent historiography of Europe's largest uprising prior to the French Revolution, taking place in 1525 and relevant to the themes you discussed above. Christianity plays a major role, but even ignoring that aspect, the revolt is important for how it foreshadowed later unrest during the death throes of feudalism and the way it was coopted and revised by later ideologues is worth understanding, whether it be nationalists ignoring the class elements, or Marx and Engels downplaying and maligning the peasante participation to give credit to urban leadesship who, really, tried capturing existing movements and abandoned them when unable to. Mercenaries also played a major role, many of whom fought with the peasant rebels.

Foundational Description of the Art of Fencing: The 1570 Treatise by Joachim Meyer translated by Dr. Rebecca Garber: the introductory chapters give a fantastic overview of the historical context of late 16th century German urban development and the economic and cultural conditions that produced the desire for these swordplay treatises at all. I think, broadly, understanding the basics of some system of weapon martial arts is good to know for anymaid making fantasy where melee weapons still show up in any degree, but the early sections are really why what I recommend this.

I think if you've already removed patriarchy as an element, you've done the hard part and are most of the way there on removing men, since imo they're kinda part and parcel to each other and it bleeds heavily into all other class dynamics. Some people like them, and, yknow, I'm not gonna change that, but I think it's always worth stopping and really considering

1) Do I, personally, like having men around and seeing them more than I would having a woman take their place?

2) Does having men add anything to my world and my story?

3) Do I require men to convey any element of my setting, or could something else fill that gap?

I took the cargo ops class at school but my teacher explained that it doesn't give a certification and I'd only be okay for ship's crane and the school forklifts. she said I could take an online exam and get my cert. I paid 60 bucks.

I'm googling and I'm seeing a lot of resources saying that the online programs cover the classroom part of the exam but not the in person practical aspect.

As someone from a hot country that's regularly on fire, here's some tips:

WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! WATER! IS! YOUR! FRIEND! You can transfer SO much heat into this bad boy! You cannot cool down without water!

Wrists under the cold tap. Splash your face and the back of your neck. Fan yourself.

In some countries you can buy a little handeld fan with a water sprayer.

Damp tea towel around the neck. Stick an ice pack in there on hotter days.

Half fill a water bottle with water, stick in freezer. If you use a bottle with a straw, make sure it's lying on its side with the straw side up and out of the water. When frozen top up the rest of the way with tap water and off you go.

Desperate to cool off? Wet T-shirt. Sit in front of a fan. This will nuke it, just don't get hypothermia and don't fall asleep like this.

Cold showers are also your friend in summer. Some people get psyched up by these. Personally, I sleep like a baby, so I'm good to have them before bed. Just keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the cool to circulate, so your body will tell you that you're colder than you actually are. I find that when I have cold showers I need to step out of the spray when I think I'm cold... I'll just wait, and thirty seconds later the temperature has evened out and I actually need to step under again. Rinse and repeat until you maintain coolness even after stepping out for a bit.

If you can't do cold showers, turn the cold shower on anyway and just stick your arms under. When they're cold, lift your arms up above your head. The sensation of cool blood draining into your body is fucking weird and kinda unpleasant but less unpleasant than being hot.

Feet in a tub of water with ice. Blood naturally flows to your extremities when hot, so take advantage of this. If you don't have a tub of ice water, sticking a wet rag on your feet in front of the fan works too, it's the less powerful version of the wet T-shirt.

Drinks lots of water but make sure that water has electrolytes as well. Stay in the shade.

Keep air circulating. Fans don't actually cool rooms down, they just help transfer heat from your body to the moisture on your skin or the air via evaporative cooling.

Block north facing windows early in the morning so the sun doesn't get in. If you're in the northern hemisphere, this is opposite for you. Keep in mind that if your home is brick, the bricks will still heat up and slowly release heat into your home even after the sun goes down so this will only do so much.

If it's hotter inside than outside, close all your windows but two, making sure they're on opposite sides of the house/unit you're in. Point a fan out of one window, making sure that the doors between the rooms with the open windows are all open. This will help create a mini pressure system in your home, pulling cooler air in and pushing the hotter air out via the fan. Bonus points if you can get that fan high up where the hot air rises; even within a single room the top is much hotter than the air by the floor. Adjust the amount of open windows based on how many fans you have, but generally you want more windows with fans open than windows without fans to keep the pressure correct.

Obviously, use your common sense for these. Not everything WILL work for you, just use the stuff that does and adjust what needs to be adjusted. Some of these will be impossible to use in the workplace but others you can still use. Others are best used at home. If humidity impacts your ability to use any of these, get a dehumidifier if that's an option, or use more ice instead of evaporation.

If I'm an artist

Quantum witch who has figured out how to store her nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and crippling depression into patterns compatible with human neural impulses and can project them in the form of hexes onto other people, or reverse the process to siphon thoughts.

Guy who had his entire digestive tract cybernetically enhanced so it constitutes over 1/3 of his body mass but he can use all his organs as extra limbs or attack with them like a starfish throws its stomach at its prey.

Retired military robot whose brain is a daisy chain of forty rat brains who is still trying to get its personhood legally recognized and resents not being able to do anything for itself without the aid of a "service human" who legally speaking technically owns it as a pet.

Guy who has had his entire skeleton replaced with a network of low level AI centipedes allowing him to react at incredible speeds and move in ways that shouldn't be possible.

House sized anthill which lives underground and interacts through a series of dozens of drones which can temporarily assemble into a humanoid shape if needed.

Orca who had most of her body destroyed by a depth charge during one of many surface wars and had her head and remaining spine installed into a colossal multiarmed mech suit to be able to collect the disability compensation after she sued, and uses it to maintain a coffee bar and support group focused on civilians injured in military or police actions.

Guy who installed entropic conversion units at key joints of his body which allows him to become super fast, hyper intelligent, super strong, and indestructible for ten minutes, but anything within a ten foot sphere around him at the start gets turned to ash.

Ratbot has a real uphill battle because if it wins personhood the military has to start paying benefits to every functional ratbot and they were created as disposable soldiers with human like intelligence but without any regulations about their rights. As far as the military is concerned they just need to stall until ratbot parts all run out and the one with the lawsuit breaks down permanently. Bad news for ratbots.

The mosquito hybrid is a low income area doctor. Wealthy people can afford nanoplants that run off vat grown synthetic material and have near perfect cell regrowth and life extension. Mosquito hybrid found their nanoplant as a junk discard experimental model and needed a set amount of insect genetic material before it worked.
