honestly in general if people know of educational podcasts/youtube channels that aren't regrettable assholes, also totally let me know. even better if they're written with an attitude of light comedy or good cheer
basically Sawbones, But Not Medical History
let me know
i'm getting a little bit of mental cabin fever while being super ouchy and unable to do something but i'm ok with running information through my head and hoping shit sticks lol
(why i'm asking is that i know i could probably find many courses... being taught by white people as if they're teaching about dead civilizations. but i want to actually learn properly, not just be fed more bullshit.
i'm also honestly not opposed to a more casual/pop history sort of style because, well, spoonie brain is not up to grad school level discussion. it doesn't have to pander to me with a puppet show, but i'm just, uh, kinda stupid when pain meds are on board.)

does anyone have some resources about indigenous history of the americas? specifically something like a podcast or recorded lectures that are free to listen to?
i'm white as hell so i don't want to step on any toes, but also... this is emphatically stuff i should know, and is a huge gap in my knowledge.
i'm disabled/often full of pain meds so i don't have the mettle to pay for and follow a proper course, but if anyone knows free resources, i'd super appreciate it.
@pettancow you know the rules bub, you gotta retake the test every 5 years to make sure you're appropriately licensed to safely handle those tentacles
@jeff it's probably because of seeing eye ponies, which are often a better choice for blind people if they live in rural enough areas to, y'know, keep a pony
@HYPERLINK i feel like you might want to maybe try some beano if you're emitting too much bottom radiation
....
p.s. yes i know this joke is terrible but also the siren song of an easy fart joke is impossible at times to resist
@boisdevache@guineapig.party bonus if the joke becomes more and more elaborate as wesley attempts to attain booze
"oh i'll just bring my mom's drink to her now that it's up -" he sneaks a sip, IT'S ACTUALLY A HOLOGRAM MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A RUM AND COKE! IT'S MILK!
he jimmies open a door and sneaks into the storeroom, "oh they won't miss a couple of ounces from the tap", grabs a cup and -
it's milk. ice cold milk. the glass frosts up to reveal YOU'RE A GROWING BOY, DRINK YOUR MILK WESLEY
the tribble episode is probably guinan having to fight rumors that she's making moonshine from all the excess tribbles happening everywhere as tribbles typically do
whether this is true or not will be left. .........unclear. but hey the customers weirded out by it come back so
the special that has become a permanent menu item is "the picard day special: tea, earl grey, hot, with enough rum in it to deal with whatever bullshit is happening today" (aka rum, neat, with a tiny droplet of tea carefully applied to the top by pipette)
also tribbles happen at some point, because they are the best part of star trek sorry it's just facts
new star trek tng spinoff series idea:
guinan
it's just guinan chilling in ten forward, solving people's problems for them, and inventing sometimes-topical new cocktails (today's special: "the warrior's drink", prune juice with a floating layer of jagermeister, which is set on flame before you drink it)
re: star trek tng shitpost
@InspectorCaracal of course the serious part of the episode gets to be riker confronting some internalized misogyny/idea that he could never be victim of sexual harassment
but it's mostly troi trying to be all "no no you're right it's a very serious thing and that is starfleet protocol i just - i just need a SNRK - a momeeAHAHAHA"
guinan gets in at least thirty good quips about it, probably rapid-fire, while setting Data straight
