The Moon

The Moon has bared witness to all of the historic events that have taken place here on Earth and would most likely offer now bias if able to recount. Man has placed metaphor, might and even malevolence on the moon. Strider takes a look at the natural history of Earth's only satellite void of man's influence on it while unavoidably recounting its influence on us!  farmersassysauce.com enter code DANK at checkout for 50% off your first order!  Sources: Moon.nasa.gov, ‘Rocket Men’ by Robert Kurson, Space-facts.com, Thatverynight.com

Women in War

With a particular emphasis on World War I, Strider explores the roles that women play during wartime through history. Strangely there seemed to be a de-evolution that lead to many women dawning disguises to serve their countries. Was there a big shift in perception after World War I that enabled to women to fight and aide war efforts more openly? farmersassysauce.com enter code DANK at checkout for 50% off your first order!
