Hey guys
I promise this blog’s still around!
But we had to take a hiatus to get more submissions. It’s almost been a month and we still don’t have enough to set up a decent queue. I’ll stock with what we have now and I’ll tone down the amount being posted per day, but please send us your history fan ideas!

Thankful for someone in History.
This year, all my thanks go to someone who, although criticized for something she once did in her life, is an altogether outstanding person.
Madeline Albright was the first female Secretary of State, however, she was also the first ever US female Ambassador to the United Nations, paving the way for leaders like Susan Rice to take the reigns.
She is truly everything I want to be in life, a...

Happy Thanksgiving, followers!
And for those who don’t celebrate it, happy Thursday.
Just reminding you that we’re waiting for more submissions before we start posting again. Both admins are currently in places without Photoshop, so we can’t make the images anyway.
Also! In the spirit of Thanksgiving, if you wanna submit a post on why you’re thankful for history or something/someone in history, go...

Oh, wow.
Sorry guys, I didn’t even notice that the queue emptied out! We still have about 20 more submissions saved that need to get added to the queue, so don’t worry if you haven’t seen yours yet.
Anyway, I’ve just opened submissions up again. Everything’s all sorted out now so we’re ready for more!

Why I Study History
thierrry:
(OR: Why I waste time in a meaningless field; why I want to spend my life looking at old dusty letters and books; why I care about people who are dead and gone; why this even matters.)
I study history because I love humanity.
I study history because it encompasses the entire realm of human thought and deed.
History is a coded map of the human heart; it is a record of hopes &...

Sorry guys
The admins ended up taking a break over the weekend to prep for a totally awesome Halloween party. Which ended up not happening. I hope you all had great Halloween nights, though. (If you participated in the shenanigans. If you didn’t, I still hope your night was great.)
Posts will resume tomorrow.
