Fantastic day yesterday at the 'Popular Culture and World Politics: Portraying War, Conflict, & Political Violence' one day symposium. I learnt so much from 'dresses and drones' to 'weaponizing music' concluding with discussion on some fantastic low budget films in 'Wakaliwood, Uganda'.

Excellent keynote today from @maddipow.bsky.social - Everything she said made pure sense and even included a little history lesson in open science 🧬 (and bropen science 😂) There is more than one way to be scientific! 🧪 #QRS2025

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

This is one of my favorite, low-tech, ways of visualizing the past! Doesn't oversell the reconstruction, shows possible past and present in same view, works, rain or shine and without power.

Do follow @chlocake.bsky.social. I, like many veterans of the conflict in Afghanistan, contributed to this study and I found doing so personally very cathartic. I’m also pleased it has led me on the quest I now find myself on in critically analysing veteran testimony in other historical interests.

I am so glad you enjoyed it Ally, and even more that it has promoted your own study which I look forward to hearing about in the future! Thank you for such a kind endorsement as I try to find my feet over here on blue sky 😁

Quite a lot of pressure for the first post - thought I’d introduce myself - hello I’m Chloe, I’m in my final year of my PhD on Operation Herrick and I’m interested in war, the experience of war, oral history and history in general 🤓
