Sunny-downpour - Books, Bands And Bad Decissions

They never want to stop

My theory about why we so enthusiastically celebrate the Ides of March here on this tumblr dot com is thus:

This site is full of literary and history nerds.

This site loves to be morbid as fuck.

This site is full of people who are very displeased with current politics and would like to achieve a certain catharsis.

That last one I think is the most important, because I remember the days when celebrating the stabbing of Caesar was just nerd shit, but it picked up more and more steam over the years, and I noticed a sudden massive boom in enthusiasm beginning in 2021, undoubtedly on account of the everything that has happened in the past few years.

a lot of anti-historian stuff comes across like “i want history to be simple and i am suspicious of people who tell me it’s not” and this is a thing you see from people on any place on the political spectrum
