@Lady not particularly, but it was an option not mentioned by your list so
@Lady I found mastodon via tumblr I'm pretty sure (Nov 2017)
@Lady pretty much! Or 'our supplier in China died so we can't get silk :/'
@Lady @Satsuma@wandering.shop that was actually also a thing during the black death too hilariously -- perhaps not the precise framing but contemporary sources spend a lot of time talking about the way the plague disrupted trade through various ways
re: plague facts™
@Satsuma@wandering.shop part of the reason why this irritates me so much is because i feel like the same 'it originated in Asia [talks only about what happened in Europe/the US]' thing is going on right now, nearly 700 years later with covid
@Lady @Satsuma@wandering.shop yeah which is part of why I consider this kind of behavior so harmful

@Satsuma@wandering.shop & the plague's aftermath was a major factor in the rise of the Ottoman & Safavid empires because of the disruptions it caused to the preëxisting...everything really

Did you know Egypt's population (approx 6 mil at the beginning of the 1400's) was halved by the plague/resulting famine from all the farmers being dead
@k start with whatever series the people who got you into star trek are fans of — there’s really not a benefit to watching them in any particular order
re: US Federal politics (mostly good news)
@greyor yeah I get so much leisure reading done on buses and trains! Especially for longer trips, I would hate to have to stare at the road for hours, when I could be doing something else instead
re: US Federal politics (mostly good news)
