Do you have any tips for how we non-historians can learn to assess historical information in a reasonably critical manner? Like, "how to tell if this potentially sketchy biography is BS" for lay people? May your pain meds be efficacious, and your work productive!
This is such a great question! Since you ask about biographies specifically, I'd say that the quickest way of assessing Potential Sketchiness™ would be to look at the author’s credentials. Especially in the genre of biography, endnotes/footnotes, bibliography, and other customary signifiers of research and scholarly authority may be kept to a minimum by publishers. So I'd recommend going by the author’s qualifications, and making sure that they have historical training.
Thanks for the good wishes!
sallyexactly reblogged your post:blackaquokat: letmetellyouaboutmyfeels: Wyatt...
I am so glad you wrote this. When I watched season one, I thought Wyatt was going to be what Eliot was: much more than...
@sallyexactly thank you! I’m glad that you enjoyed it. Yes, it was really my hope that Wyatt would be so much more than what we were given. In my writing I try to deconstruct and redeem him from season two and then use that as a jumping-off place to have him grow to be more like Eliot (because I mean I’m sure Eliot had his own internalized misogyny and toxic masculinity and such to overcome in his life, as all men do). The writers really disappointed me with him and showed their hand as *Immorten Joe voice* mediocre.
Your take on the ballet teacher!AU is truly delightful, delicate and tender, and brought a smile to my face after a long day. So thank you for that. (And I'm really, really impressed by how much angst you manage to pack into that phrase about the insurance company replacing the carpets.) --SallyX
Oh, thank you so much! I’m delighted that this bit of confection has brought you respite. And thanks: obscure angst appears to be a specialty of mine, and I’m embracing it.

“To Robert Turner,” Coulson said, “George W. Bush is just a pawn in a far greater game involving the World Health Organization, the Earth Liberation Front, the J. M. Smucker Company’s education outreach program, and the Illuminati. Paranoia. Hit it hard, and hit it often.”
Barton leaned back. “He sounds like one of those guys who thinks the government’s tracking us through the bar codes on stuff we buy.”
Coulson’s face didn’t change.
“Oh.”
“It’s only a small pilot program,” Coulson said. “And technically, we’re not the government. Anyway, the point is not what civil liberties violations S.H.I.E.L.D. is committing, the point is what civil liberties violations Turner thinks anyone is committing.”
