I like reading about my background (slavic) and have an interest in anthropology in general.

Migratory routes and languages are specific topics I find intriguing.
This brain could do with some more dimethyltryptamine.

I'm of British descent, then I am Australian and culturally an descendant of British (especially The English). Means my interest in British history is more than just about ancestors, it is about the cultural heritage we Australians have.

Celtic (German) predominately on my Fathers and Scottish on my Mother's and Aboriginal on my Nana's. Bit of a mongrel.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

I care a great deal.
Probably because of all
the research that's been
put into it. And the old paintings.

But, both sides interest me.

I care but probably because I lived a lot with my grand parents who talked of it a lot and I find it interesting as I do most things history

I know about my ancestry and find it somewhat interesting.   I am a mixture of several different things.   Although it is interesting, it isn't that big of a deal to me.   I am mostly Irish (about 50%), English, German and Polish.
:P   Internets are super serious.
