Friends, Lemmings, Piefeeders, lend me your ears. I come to bury @PugJesus@piefed.social not to praise him… Well, no, I DO come to praise him and I’m not burying him, I’m just wishing him goodbye and good luck on whatever he spends his (newly copious amounts of free) time on next. I always liked history since I was a kid. It was really awesome seeing this… this… FLOOD of posts about history here every day without fail, realizing that history was important to other people and that it could be fun and enlightening and half the time I wouldn’t know wtf a post was about and I’d end up spending half an hour on wikipedia reading up on it and I’d post a link in comments and it’d feel like I was taking part in things. Anyway I’d disagree with PugJ once in a while about various things, but PugJ always struck me as sincere and passionate regarding things they cared about, which is admirable.
PugJesus, it’s too bad that you’re cutting away from the threadiverse. Your posts greatly improved life here over the past couple years. I hope you will consider staying around in some capacity, perhaps even under a different name. But if not, that’s cool, I can understand that sometimes things are too much and you just have to step away.
My friend! May the spirit of a hundred Romans travel with you!

Even if you don’t run comms anymore we’d love to hear about cool history stuff you come across!
Your posts always got me interested in something new as someone who is starting to connect with history for kinda the first time in my life
I hope life treats you well, and should we see you in the future, I can’t wait to see what I might learn about ☺️
