This weekend I:
did the climate strike, went to a fundraiser for immigrant protection organizations, joined the Odd Fellows, met other parents to have our kids play together, practiced accordion in the park to a very appreciative audience, responded to my first Rapid Response (anti-ICE) text (I'll tell you all about it sometime)
basically spent all my time outdoors meeting people and away from computers. I was overwhelmed by a strange feeling of... positive participation in society???

@professor_stoke @dankwraith well then you heard wrong. those numbers may well be accurate, but chinggis khaan had died some thirty-odd years before the mongols besieged baghdad
@professor_stoke @dankwraith as usual, it depends which historian you ask. it's definitely the easiest thing to point to as "okay it's definitely over here", but the abbasid caliphate had been largely irrelevant for centuries by the time the mongols came around, and some historians claim the golden age lasted until as late as the 16th century when it uh....became the ottoman golden age. general consensus tends to be that the islamic golden age had been in decline for some time before the mongols
@katie i have never been annoyed by either of these people excuse you

@dankwraith chinggis khaan unified the mongols and brought about one of the safest periods in eurasian history. because nobody was stupid enough to fight the mongol empire, and they encouraged trade and cross-cultural exchanges, which brought about quite possibly one of the greatest scientific golden ages in the world
