I’m in india at the moment! Left Europe for the first time in my life to visit a friend’s wedding. Sadly I can’t say I’ve heard much about this, and I have been talking with a lot of people, travelling about and reading newspapers. Was it some weeks ago or?

The Netherlands colonized half the world despite being smaller than Mongolia - Venice was able to stand up to countries like the ottoman empire despite being only a single city.

Financialization isn’t everything, but it’s not nothing either.

Damn I thought you were being sarcastic

Listened to a couple episodes of tv over the weekend. I’m getting better at understanding I think, and can catch what’s being said separate to the subtitles (they’re often inaccurate or just summary) sometimes. Also read a chapter of a lovely book called The Brothers Lionheart.
