Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin was born in 1842 and breathed his last in 1921. Kropotkin was a Russian noble. He was educated for army and at the age of twenty he became a military officer in Siberia.
Kropotkin’s great interest in science developed from his military training which he received to get a job. This moulded his life in future. He had a scientific mind and devoted his time and energy to the study of books on science.
As a military officer in Siberia Kropotkin got ample opportunity for geographical survey and expedition. Thus his shift from military service to geographical survey and expeditions enriched the subject profoundly. He contributed many articles to different journals.
Peter Kropotkin was a man of different mentality and attitude. His stay in military service could not satisfy his academic and intellectual requirements and desires and after serving several years he relinquished the job, and entered the University of St. Petersburg in 1867. His vast knowledge in geography brought for him the post of secretary of Geographical Society.
Even this vital administrative post could not detain him for long time. He moved to radical political movements. In 1872, Peter Kropotkin joined the International Workingmen’s Association. Later on he was deeply involved in subversive and anarchical activities. This led him to imprisonment in 1874.
He escaped from prison in 1876 and went to England. The England of the second half of eighteenth century was the centre of revolutionary activities, although she never experienced any revolution.
He also travelled to Switzerland and Paris. While in Paris he was again arrested by the French government in 1883. Released from prison in 1886 he went to England and settled there. While in exile, Kropotkin gave lectures and published widely on anarchism and geography. He returned to Russia after the Russian Revolution in 1917 but was disappointed by the Bolshevik state. The rest of his life was spent without political activity.
Peter Kropotkin was an evolutionist anarchist. But his evolutionism was more scientific than that of his predecessors. He wrote several books on anarchism such as ‘The Place of Anarchy in Socialist Evolution (1886), The Conquest of Bread (1888), Its Philosophy and Ideal (1896)’, ‘The State – Its Part in History (1898)’ and ‘Modern Science and Anarchism (1903)’. His deep interest in science, particularly biology and anthropology, opened before him new and enchanting vistas of knowledge and all these inspired him to study biological science with added interest.

It took me years longer than many, but I’m finally on Team Fuck November Kelly (Negative)
Been feeling more anxious recently but instead of like my overall level of anxiety being worse it’s like I have more frequent (short) periods of anxiety per day (this may be leading to my overall level of anxiety being worse and I’m just being aware of it in the early stages)
I’ve played chess with pretty much all my friends online and failed pretty bad, honestly I’d do much better irl I feel. I’d just start eating the pieces, I’m stronger than like all of them and I got that dog in me
always weirds me out when i see modded bethesdas where someone’s replaced all the faces with like supermodels. don’t get me wrong, my character gets to be hot, and maybe a companion i use often, but why the fuck you giving old shopkeeper, generic guard npc, literal dead bodies facelifts? it’s uncanny
planning meeting:Nima: OK Adam you finally got on Chapo. What should we put out to capitalize on our Chapo bump?
Adam: Yeah I think we should do basically the exact same ep that I did on Chapo
To hear how the love for pets in our society is very much a modern thing and how depictions of “a boy and his dog” are rooted in boomer nostalgia and aspirations (at least how it appears to me), it almost completely wallpapers over the notion of growing up in the suburbs is lonely, as the only constant companionship comes from an animal happy that you feed it. Especially as distances between properties and reliance on cars grow, you return to the loneliness of depression era rural farms in america where the telephone’s invention meant you can regularly contact people again.
Last night I had a dream that my brother’s ghost and I found the body of a giant panda next to the bus stop at our primary school. I tried to make a phone call to The Authorities, but my call was intercepted by a cute girl from my high school. She recruited me work for a telecommunications company that was actually a front organization for The Government. Our mission was to infiltrate Pete Buttigieg’s inner circle, and disrupt the exotic animal trafficking ring he was running out of Dubai. Then I shoplifted a bunch of soft caramels from a Blockbuster Video, and didn’t care if I got caught, because I was a Fed now.

Love to see fucking Tacticool Girlfriend celebrating the takeover of Syria for some reason, definitely not bizarre and alienating to see yet another apparent leftist transform into fucking Rumsfeld as soon as a Designated Enemy Country comes up. Ah well, breadtube delenda est

Been helping my short 5’2" sibling get good at the bench press, so far they at 75 lbs. I got them to 135 once and really my key was putting some blocks on their feet to help them, I’d very much would love to see them bench their own body weight and honestly maybe a year or two I think they can do it.

Hadn’t read the poem “Boots” by Rudyard Kipling until the 28 Years Later trailer (which is a very good trailer, btw) featured a performance of it.
“Boots” recorded in 1915 by the American actor Taylor Holmes (actual poem starts about 30 seconds in)
And then there’s this version, arranged to music by the Australian baritone Peter Dawson in 1929.
I could link all the recordings of this poem, but Leslie Fish’s 1985 version as a folk ballad is fun.
It’s interesting how utterly different these recitations are. And none of them really sounds like what I imagined the poem was supposed to sound like when I read it (silently) for the first time. Which is like this, a marching song, recorded by some guy on YouTube in 2011. Assuming that’s right and that’s roughly what Kipling was invoking, Holmes’s reading is especially inspired. Incredible stuff.
Also I guess when they are trying to get you to be able to resist torture by torturing you in the Armed Forces one of their tactics is to blast Holmes’s reading at you on a loop 24/7, so that’s funny.
Kevin Sorbo has to be the most perfect marriage of dumb fake sounding name to dumb mean asshole imaginable. Like if you were making him up as a character and that named popped into your head it would be
