The discover feed is trash so everyone just goes to topics and sees the latest topics and interacts with people to follow.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The only thing that&amp;#39;s making me hesitant is that there&amp;#39;s currently no block terms function.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I will however say as an Arab I do like it and feel like I&amp;#39;ve found a lot more Arabs on there than I have on Mastadon.

      #ScribesAndMakers&amp;#34;What has been your biggest frustration with your creative work this month?&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That I suck and that the content that I want to produce will not have any audience. I&amp;#39;ve gone through a few crashouts cause its been weighing on my mind the balance between creating art for the self and creating something that people will find enjoyable.

Just an all around great writer of soap opera/kdrama style writings rooted in the history of Ancient Korea and its neighbors.

      They are often talked about in relation to urban legends about vampires, but I think a super cool group of women are the Ursuline Nuns. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The original ones averaged 23 years old and were so impactful that New Orleans became the city where it was twice as likely to be literate as a woman, whether you were free or slaved. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here is a book I&amp;#39;ll be starting that talks about this awesome order who accomplished the impossible:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1uc0pr52flpmgf0yl7wyunyp78cmtseu6kh87ccrtsdjf23k78gnqd9cpgf&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;histodons group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1uc0…cpgf&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #history &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1ny7qwqnkw6pg4m0uegzrdzwrckapzq7v7zku9p28hgv5aflvg8fq7zuv57&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;bookstodon group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1ny7…uv57&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #slavery &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1xzcyr5586khqd7qgkzpkmv5va336vhgz45tz2xt8nw2n9jl5l9vswwamla&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Religion group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1xzc…amla&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #nuns #neworleans&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://cdn.masto.host/zirkus/media_attachments/files/115/142/790/748/048/742/original/972863d7e24bf988.webp&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      I&amp;#39;m remembering one of the best manga that depicts true love I&amp;#39;ve ever read: Drowning Love. I typically don&amp;#39;t read HS settings anymore, but what sets this one apart is how this couple clings to each other throughout years of being together and seperation. It does a fantastic job of showing how difficult and painful it is to achieve true love.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1ny7qwqnkw6pg4m0uegzrdzwrckapzq7v7zku9p28hgv5aflvg8fq7zuv57&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;bookstodon group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1ny7…uv57&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #manga #bookrecommendations&lt;br/&gt; &lt;img src=&#34;https://cdn.masto.host/zirkus/media_attachments/files/114/331/512/889/109/102/original/823e37bda17ebe31.jpg&#34;&gt; &lt;br/&gt;

      This MMC in the book I&amp;#39;m reading is so creepy. I love it. He smiles just to hold power over people. Reminds me of my MMC for my WIP. I really do think this needs to be a trope.

      This morning I woke up with a realization, my MMC for this novel is a Tang soldier and while I have tons of books and articles on merchants, frontier poetry and Chang&amp;#39;An. I have nothing on military structure, organization and life. #histodons and #ChineseHistory enthusiasts, what are some good books and articles in English and Chinese on the Tang military?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1gafjwltyjv3wudqedzj8lwcp8c4uqzkq33sljv9d8kguf62p0cqsh63trh&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;histodon group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1gaf…3trh&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1n4j629dzm36xxv37sxt764760a0fmuk7xqzwv0v0wd7c2gzwqqascsgpq2&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Medievodons group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1n4j…gpq2&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #history &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1ny7qwqnkw6pg4m0uegzrdzwrckapzq7v7zku9p28hgv5aflvg8fq7zuv57&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;bookstodon group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1ny7…uv57&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #medieval #medievalhistory #AsianMastadon

      Today is Friday so I decided to start posting author thoughts on Fridays, hopefully also giving me some room to do more research for my historical blog posts.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Today I have attempted to make an argument for darker historical romance. I would be curious to see if anyone is also interested in reading darker historical romance even if it makes them uncomfy:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://tinyurl.com/2fe95ufj&#34;&gt;https://tinyurl.com/2fe95ufj&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1wceqthd8g3xe9qdusfjh9p252f8ugfknauev8zg6mthhgzmnsvqqzvlzu8&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;bookstadon group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1wce…lzu8&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1me9m8lh6kfs63q39vja8phwyw5hc7quwaxw7h2accepkc6g0w2wqf6z28v&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Romancelandia group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1me9…z28v&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #historicalromance #historicalfiction #RomanceReaders #writing #books #fictionfriday

      One of my favorite Arabic female poets who was known as the Greatest Poet of Her Generation was a slave woman by the name of Inan. She does eventually get freed, but I often think about how we derive enjoyment off of her suffering.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Here is a more detailed analysis (really rambling) about Inan, a medieval poet of the Abbasid Era: &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://mariamalmasriauthor.wordpress.com/2025/02/03/hello-world/&#34;&gt;https://mariamalmasriauthor.wordpress.com/2025/02/03/hello-world/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1uc0pr52flpmgf0yl7wyunyp78cmtseu6kh87ccrtsdjf23k78gnqd9cpgf&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;histodons group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1uc0…cpgf&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1xfwww58x6r4wxrwfu4hd5kd9e3ud62j9cstm8y0pdkfw54s9x94q2qmava&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;poetry group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1xfw…mava&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/npub1n4j629dzm36xxv37sxt764760a0fmuk7xqzwv0v0wd7c2gzwqqascsgpq2&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Medievodons group&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;npub1n4j…gpq2&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; #Arabicpoetry #arabic #history
