Whenever I read the news, or a historical anything, I try to keep this image in mind.

We are all people, try to people the best that we can, with the perspectives and tools that we have.

Whenever I do worldbuilding I try to keep this image in mind

Oh, it's my Remembrance Day read, as the days get shorter and heavier.

But for me, reading that book, and the snapshot of the devastation of WW1 for a family, but also for LMM, I am absolutely gutted knowing that she lived long enough to hear the piper call the boys away again for WW2.

I know it's about time to kick off the Rilla book club but I think of reading posts about my blorbo of all blorbos and I'm like
