Nonfiction topics

[personal profile] philstar22 2022-07-11 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
What nonfiction topics interest you? Whether you read books about it in your spare time, hunt for websites, listen to podcasts or whatever. Just, topics that you like learning more about.

I've been super interested in volcanoes and Tsarist Russia since I was a kid. Also space-related things, especially other planets. And anything about cats, whether domestic or wild. And penguins.

Oh, and mythology. Especially non-Greek/Roman/Norse ones that are less well-known.

I love everything I read about Ancient Egypt. That place is just wild.

Royal families (especially the Romanovs), geisha/maiko, women’s fashion from the 18th to the 20th century, folk dances from around the world, and dolls.

I mostly read like,,, literary criticism and media theory. Also, queer history. I mostly listen to other history topics in podcast form though.

The history of jewelry, all kinds from around the world and from every time. I love Neolithic European beads and pre-Columbian jade, modern memento mori and Ghanan goldwork, Native American silver and turquoise, tribal beadwork from the Philippines and Africa, and netsuke and ojime (not technically jewelry I know but in the same ballpark as finely carved gemstone beads imo). I feel similarly about clothes and costumes and loved those old paperback picture books on period costumes.

History. To be more specific, I guess, history of religion, history of modernization and modernity, cultural history, history of liberalism and pre-WW2 politics, long 19th century. Probably other stuff I'm not thinking of.

True crime. Loved it as a teenager. But my interest in it waned until podcast became a thing.

Mythologies from places around the world that I've never heard about because my schooling only covered Greek/Roman, and how that informed their cultural practices.

Pirates and Age of Sail. Not embellished, though, I don't need the Game of Thrones Bad-Take version. FFS the real truths were crazy enough.

Sengoku-era history, speaking of real facts in history that were also bugnuts crazy.

Birds, plants, trees, and stars. I've worn my astronomy books thin, I need more.

I like my history broad - a topic for focus, such as an era, a country, a cultural movement, etc, but not so narrow as a single person's biography.

Oh, and clothing/garment/fashion history. Yall, the topic of sumptuary laws is fascinating.

Do games count? The kind that barely has any plot?

Other than that, aromatherapy comes to mind. Fashion to an extent. Interior design or rather design in general. Psychology (would hope so, considering it's my degree lol). Maybe cats even though I am not an owner.

I like reading about disasters. Like failed Everest expeditions, ships sinking, volcano eruptions, etc. Preferably recent enough to have eye witness descriptions. I suppose it's rather morbid but it just interests me.

The history of food! Especially when they tie into how this particular food has evolved across and with various cultures. It's so fun.

Re: Nonfiction topics

(Anonymous) 2022-07-12 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Specific topics: Egyptian history, ocean life/creatures and ancient/lost civilizations.

More generally, I'm really into politics and true crime.

I really enjoy reading about the history of the Vietnam war, and all the surrounding cultural 'stuff' that was happening - civil rights, the ERA, disability rights, the Black Panthers, the Stonewall Riots, drug culture, music culture - all the huge changes that started happening right after WWII and continued for the next three and four decades. That's the most interesting time in history, for me, in the US, at least.

I also really love reading about anything space. Exoplanets and how we know anything about them, dark matter, asteroids and comets and meteors, how space ships work and space stations and rockets, how we can figure out what a galaxy 100 million light years away is like, how the moons and rings of Saturn formed, how our *own* moon formed, our own planet...all of that is so fucking amazing.

I just need a break. I thought I could rest a bit during summer, but the whole thing with my mom in hospital is running me down. I feel like I've been doing crisis management for months now.

My Windows laptop has a little thing in the toolbar that displays the weather, which I like, but now it'll also sometimes display a BREAKING NEWS chyron for me to mouse over and look at what the breaking news is. Because, A, it's 2022 so I always assume that if there's breaking news it must be some kind of disaster. And B, it's always something completely useless. Today it was "BREAKING - first images from James Webb Space Telescope." FFS.

I’m chronically lonely. Making friends doesn’t happen easily, but losing them seems to. I hate my life in general and I don’t see any logical reason to expect it to get any better, and that’s not just post-vacation letdown talking. And I was feeling bad about my weight earlier until an annoying little voice whispered “not everybody gets to eat” and now I feel even worse. And there are a lot of chores I really have to do in the next few days.

I'm really annoyed that I have to use one of my vacation days to go get allergy shots all day Thursday. It sucks that I've used up all my sick days and have to waste a vacation day being miserable and getting shots all day.

I had surgery last week and I have pulled something and an interior stitch has burst through and is sticking out of my abdomen. It hurts and I've run out of painkillers.

Industry plant or Stop Trying to Make Fetch Happen

(Anonymous) 2022-07-12 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
I just saw ads for a Machine Gun Kelly bio pic or concert thing? I don't listen to his music, but he's always given me the feeling of someone desperately trying to grab people's attention/stay relevant. In a way, with all this attention and what not, it makes me feel like the industry is really trying to make him happen. Or maybe it's just me. I'm not in that scene.

What's your suspected version of stop trying to make fetch happen, Gretchen? Rather, is there a particular artist, show, movie, actor, creator, makeup line, whatever in your sphere that feels like they're being pushed into relevance rather than organically blooming into something or someone that the community as a whole enjoys?
