Text
The best people in the world are the ones who are genuinely interested when you infodump at them.
#listening to the presidential podcast was a mistake#because i live in a constant state of wanting to share all the cool history#and it is not socially acceptable to chase people down shouting 'let me tell you about zachary taylor!!!'#i have cautiously mentioned small details that came to mind#to a few very uninterested people#but i was still bursting with so much trivia#and then i finally got the chance to talk to my history nerd brother#and spill everything#(i was very sneaky in that i planned to only tell him about millard fillmore)#(but then i snuck in the more elaborate zachary taylor stuff as pertinent backstory)#he actually found it interesting!#he asked clarifying questions!#he engaged with the material#after i was done i felt such a sense of relief#at last i can rest#knowing that someone else understands how interesting this forgotten section of american history is
