Status Updates From This Thing of Darkness

I really should have paid more attention in class when they were teaching abt history of scientific research and stuff. Sooo many of their thinking stem from the bible and that's super fascinating.

this read would make more sense if I know more abt the reform bill and the situation surrounding it. I didn't pay enough attention in class when they were teaching abt this.

I bet British navy committed more war crime with these research ships than with an actual man-of-war.

Also, half way through part one I googled 'did captain fitzroy has bipolar' and the answer is probably yes.
