"To me, history ought to be a source of pleasure...an enlargement of the experience of being alive..." - McCullough.
#Gaming community, if I wanted to present a video game idea to game developers/designers/companies, do I need to
a) produce a storyboard,
b) produce proof of concept or pilot, or
c) both?

Can’t quite believe I’m 2.5 months into my PhD!
It’s been surreal, tiring and intellectually stimulating.
The fact that I get to research and write about issues that move my soul 😍

Interviewed a teacher who left the profession last year.
Why did you resign?
“I have a Master’s degree.
I work really hard.
I love teaching kids and am great at my job.
I do it all for a disgracefully low salary.
All of that and I’ve never felt so disrespected by so many.”
Submitted a very important application form, today.
If it all goes well, it’ll determine the next 4-6 years of my life 🫣

"There is no stepping outside of history in order to do history" - Peter Seixas
A good reminder that history education isn't just for memorising but for us (society) to learn and experience.

"The past is not 'over' nor is history 'a singular presence'" - Sophie Rudolph (2016)
History is ever-evolving and as we reimagine History, we are changing the past, present and future.

Together, we're turning dreams into realities.

Regarding the controversy surrounding Netflix's Cleopatra, I've seen many people online spout the same argument. "Archaeologists exhumed Cleopatra's sister in 2009 and found out she had African DNA." Every single part of that statement is wrong, and this thread will discuss why.
