History As We Know It

1/3 Hey everyone! I hope this message finds you well, and curious! Some quick update info: Adding the one time, green 🌳 ad section soon! You will be able to exit it easily like the welcome message, but check them out!!! I will be focusing on updating marker to an actual 📌 📍 of some sort.

Apologies for the quiet. Been a bit busy in my personal life.. Going to college full-time online. Working in healthcare full-time. Internship related to my degree which I'm graduating with next spring which requires about 20 hrs a week. Full-time parent who also has dogs. Type 1 diabetic.

My main take away is that humans LOOOOOOOOVE being whimsical. That, and purposeful. I grew up near The Medicine Wheel in Wyoming, and have a deep respect for their culture. Im curious if they were for similar purposes!? 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #prehistoric #ancient #welovestackingrocks #geo

#DragonBlood Trees are a thing people. Their name is crazy cool and they look just otherworldly! It's a shame a lot of the world is in a constant state of #war. This and many other places would be a very cool to visit! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #dendrology #history 🎶 what is it good for? #travel

What did the fish say when it bonk'd it's head? Not much, it's a fish... Lame I know 🤣 Dams are amazing feats of magical #engineering inspired by the great Castors! I love #beavers. Just monch'n some trees, blocking water flows. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #dadjoke #geography #biology #funny

I took my family to #florida and during the #vacation we had a chance to watch a #rocket launch. It was easily the coolest thing Ive ever seen. #Science triumphant over natural forces Also, THEY LAUNCHED FROM #ANTARCTICA!? Hey ice here's a #blowtorch to the face.. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪

Oooh #Volcanoe! I love em. They scare me but they're SO COOL! They produce some crazy #minerals and I love how they're named! #iddingsite #olivine #titanomagnetite #Scientists and their naming systems.. #etymology #binomalnomenclature 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #magma #geology #spicyrocks #lava

Two things I'm obsessed with: #volcanoes and #petroglyphs This also had #PIRATES! Ometepe looks life such a beautiful and interesting place! I grew up near petroglyphs and visited them often. It's a closely kept secret of the local community. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #geology #ancient #pirates

IT'S SO #FUZZY!! What a claim. To be the "rarest mammal on earth." I thought that was me but whatever I guess..... 🤣 Seriously, we're losing so many #species everyday due to the society we've built. We need something better. Now. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #nature #biodiversity #climatechange

Came for the #history, stayed for the #beauty.. cuz hot damn that's purdy! Would love to sip a cerveza on that river at sunset. That #mountain looks like a frozen #wave.. I guess that's all they really are, once a liquid now frozen in time. #deep 🤣 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #brazil #travel #wiki

You know, stating you're the GOOD kind of #Templar implies there's a Naughty Templars group.. Weird right? #Fraternal organizations always creeped me out. Never needed that kind of #brotherhood. #🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #weird #boysclub #indiana #geography #cult

The Battle of Djerba, where they lost 2000 men to sickness before it even started.. A reminder, especially with the USS Abraham Lincoln in the news, that being out from port has always been dangerous, but even more so then. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #Mediterranean #ships #war #sea #navy

Largest lake in #Mongolia named Uvs Nuur. Gotta have a cool etymology right? AND IT DOES!! FREAKIN FERMENTED MILK ORT?! Now, I've never tasted the bitter #dregs left behind from fermented milk but naming your biggest lake after it? Bold. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #drinkityoucoward #jkdont #geo

Slightly dubious fact: Captain James Cook named an island Sandwich Island because he was really hungry, and missed his wife's ham n' swiss. Source: trust me n kinda #wikipedia 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #history #hawki #ship #sailing #royalnavy #sea #geography #ocean #sandwich #lunch #nowimhungry

I was like OOH what's a #fire-eater? Then I was like eww, THAT'S a #fire-eater.. Also, had no idea there was a #politicalparty called, "The Whig." There's a pun in there somewhere.. too easy. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #namedplaceinthesouth? #likelyabaddud #murica #slavery #south #geo

Lots to unpack here! Underwater Demolition Team sounds just so badass and reading and seeing pictures of one.. justified the badassery! These guys did some INSANE stuff. I Cannot recommend a read about them enough! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #wwii #navy #frogmen #sea #diving #hunk #dive #history

I've got a Boxer sized parrot. Titan looooooves going for rides. My best bud.

IT'S SO PRETTY!! Can we PLEASE move past #fossilfuels already!? I'm so sick of our tiny hubristic species ruining it for the rest! "If a corp can take advantage of you, they will.." - me, (cannot remember date). irl. 💥🎤⏬️ 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #resources #oil #sortaapaformat #renewables

As a land lover locked in the #mountains, Im going to be perfectly honest and admit I had no idea what a #Jetty was. Interesting what humans can do when presented a problem. Light houses are cool too. #Modernproblems require #ancient solutions. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #thalassophobia

I have huge respect for #native people. I grew up near a res, had many dealings with, and know their history. No matter the tribe, it is rife with such unmitigated tragedy it is difficult to imagine fellow humans being capable of such atrocities, yet the #TrailofTears exists.. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪

This one went a million ways and I couldn't have predicted it end in a #KFC ad 😂 Love Barent Barentzoon! Hell of a name.. we thought kid's names today were all over the place. And anything called the cosmological dark ages is an attention grabber! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #space 🐧

This was a great read! Started with #planes and early warfare leading to Michael The Brave! He's got an interesting read but he was very brave in that he wore that hat a lot! Seriously I see it on a number of his portraits! Very #fashionable! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #greatbeard

Dams are amazing feats of #engineering, #physics & #technology. Those feats come at a cost though. ".. 86 construction workers lost their lives." I cannot say what caused these deaths, but I cannot imagine there were strong #OSHA regulations in the 50s in Africa. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki

The Thule.. a name that has taken many shapes throughout the years. Sounds ominous and culty.. Imagine in 5000 years someone says wyomingites... sounds ominous and culty.. 🤣 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #canada #inuit #protoinuit #geography #etymology

#GateoftheGods eh? Wonder if it's locked.. That lock picking lawyer guy should take a crack at it! I'll refrain from the obligatory #Titicaca jokes.. however, #Peru is on my Peru-se it list... #dadjoke yeah that was a bad one. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #history #southamerica #ancient #education #fact

The amount of hair I donated to #wigsforkids. #fuckcancer My mom is a 5x survivor. She's the toughest human I know. Honoring her strength by helping kiddos not feel so alone and different. I HIGHLY encourage you to do the same! It took me nothing but the time that was already gonna pass. #donate

Idk about y'all but I hate when my #landowner is absentee and is politically aligned with large cattle barons! I love #wyo I've worked on ranches and farms, mines and oil fields, in the forests and the deserts, mountains and in caves. Beautiful place. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #wyhomeing #west

Well, it's been a rough couple of months healing from such a massive and traumatic surgery. I'm doing much better and plan on posting more historical nonsense soon enough. My neck hole is looking less hole-y! In the mean time... check out 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪

"You shouldn't be back to work this early." - my spinal surgeon, my follow up specialist, my gp, random dude on the sidewalk... *me posting from work due to no sick days*

I'm 2% closer to becoming a cyborg y'all!! My type 1 diabetic ass using robotics to maintain control plus some crazy cool looking hardware to stabilize my long ago broken neck, equals me being the next #terminator. I'm sorry. Fate is sealed. Seriously, how metal does that shit look 🤣 pun intended

Oh do I love me some #mythology! Proudly geekin on demigod shenanigans! #Heracles or #Hercules lost a man on a voyage, but it was cool because #nymphs stole him and then there was a city named after him. I'm paraphrasing here.. Read about Gemlik! 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #greece #gods

Ohh this was a really cool read into the #indigenous conflicts with fur traders! Further info spelunk'n led me to find out that it was THE hub for the Hudson Bay Company, "... was the oldest corp in North America founded in 1670.." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #firstnations #canada

Back to work a week after emergency surgery. ".. do nothing 4-6 weeks. No lifting, nothing,.. you will rupture your sutures, bleed out, and you WILL die." - doc No sick days left 😪 So exhausted. Would kill for a fucking smoothie. Only thing feels good to eat but $$ of course. I owe millions now..

Miss the beard, don't miss the nerve pain. Incision is looking great. Clean bandages the last 4 changes i think is a great sign. Muscles are still weak af. Doc said he worked my neck over hard grinding away all the bone spurs n the fusion. Obvi, stabbed in the throat pain, but otherwise I'm good.

I LOVE finding places named in absolute mockery of their more aptly named peer. Places such as The Great Canyon, or this one: "The island(Big Diomede) is almost a day ahead of Little Diomede Island because they are separated by the International Date Line.." 🤣 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #geo #fact

So not bad! Zero leakage or bleeding upon bandage changes. Cannot stress enough how weird not being in pain is. It freaks me out. Like I have a pressure pain on my neck and an obvious you got stabbed in the throat pain but no nerve pain. 30 years of it, then nothing..

Neck collar chronicles: day..4?.. it's all starting to blur. Shower imminent due to excessive ass stank. Bandage reapplication immediate. Documenting dope ass scars for imperial records.

It's so weird. Absolutely indescribable how i went from 30 years of constant, unrelenting nerve pain to zero. I would spend nights awake freezing because a sheet felt heavy and painful on my skin. I would be nuclear hot or freezing cold, sometimes simultaneously. Fuck I would kill for a smoothie.

Welp, humans are terrible... ".. #Nuclear tests were conducted on and around Kiritimati by the UK in the late 1950s, and by the US in 1962... the island was not evacuated, exposing the residents and the #British, #NewZealand, and #Fijian servicemen to nuclear radiation." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #wth

"Nordlaguna" a lagoon on a Nordic island.. nailed it. This place is remote. Like REMOTE, remote. "The easiest and most common way to visit is through an arctic expedition, specially approved by the Norwegian government." 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #seclusion #freezing #geography #biology #volcano

Ohh cool one! (pun not intended) Led me to read of the #Thule people, then the #Dorset, and finally the #Pre-Dorset.. 4,000 years of migrating.. wild. It continually amazes me how hardy our #ancestors were. 🌎📌🌲👉 hawki.app 👈🌳📍🧪 #hawki #history #geography #canada #alaska #arctic #inuit #ancient
