i'm wishing a sketchy birthday to la plath, born #otd in 1932 - &, even though i've not a chance in high hades of achieving a scintilla of the written eloquence that she displayed, here's my scribbled ode. [cheeky wee thread follows]

elsa lanchester was born #otd in 1902 to bohemian parents who refused - as a snub to societal convention - to be legally married. her mum, edith ‘biddy’ lanchester, was a feminist & a socialist who later worked as secretary to eleanor marx (daughter of the famous karl, he who boils people's piss to this very). initially a dance student under the tutelage of isadora duncan, elsa made her film debut in 1925’s ‘the scarlet woman’.

Inventing Silk Roads
The idea of a Silk Road, though it conjures up visions of exotic goods passing between Asia and Europe via ancient trade routes, is a thoroughly modern one.

Does anyone have any recommendations for PeerTube channels focused on #Dinosaurs / #Paleontology, #Insects / #Animals / #TheNaturalWorld, #Space / #Astronomy, other interesting topics #History / #Disaster / #Inventions?
If you are thinking of or have made such a channel I'm happy to share it here.
I watch a few on #YouTube but would like to use #PeerTube more. Channels like: #YDAW, #FascinatingHorror, #KurgesagtInANutshell.

Often carved and decorated, a box-bed was the pride of its owners. In homes with usually only one room, the box-bed allowed some privacy and helped keep people warm during winter. It was the main furniture of rural houses in Brittany until the 20th century.

"There is significant risk that preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes." 🙀
That would be a tragedy indeed. Imagine people enjoying old games and celebrating decades-old art work and creativity, for hardware long obsolete and platforms long gone. Just horrible.
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 for conspiring with the Soviets. A newly declassified memo debunks the government’s case against Ethel, and her sons want their mother exonerated. A historian explains what changed mind: https://theconversation.com/i-am-a-scholar-of-the-rosenberg-case-i-didnt-always-think-ethel-was-innocent-but-i-now-believe-she-was-not-a-spy-240642

“The more we gave in, the more we complied with that kind of treatment, the more oppressive it became.”
#OnThisDay, 1 Dec 1955, Rosa Parks does *not* give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger, and is arrested. Her refusal is a key moment in the American civil rights movement.

UNTIL THIS #JEWISH #KANGAROO_COURT CALLED THE #USA_SUPREME_COURT CHANGES IT;)
The Israel lobby wields some of the most influence over American politics than any lobbying group in Washington. As Ilan Pappé, the Israeli historian, professor and author, and host Chris Hedges detail in this latest episode of The Chris Hedges Report, the lobby’s rise to power consisted of diverging ideological factions uniting in pursuit of their shared interests in controlling the land of historic Palestine. The history and manifestation of this systemic corruption of the Zionist lobby, hyper-dependent on coercion and total control, is thoroughly described in Pappé’s new book, Lobbying for Zionism on Both Sides of the Atlantic.

The three main U.S. antitrust statutes are the Sherman Act of 1890, the Clayton Act of 1914, and the Federal Trade Commission Act of 1914.
