Actually steeper than I had estimated, 15% average over 2 km - worse than in , and we were carrying our stuff! (Well, part of it: clothes and stuff for 5 days, we've left more than half our luggage in )

I'm glad our teenagers were brave :)

"The natural response is to look back on the euphoric triumphs of, say, the sans-culottes in the streets of Paris, and despair at our comparative failure to puncture the political status quo. But to do so is to fall victim to one of those retrospective optical illusions with which history is constantly presenting us. For if the present moment feels like a Thermidor, it’s because the original Thermidor — the definitive end of the radical phase of the French Revolution, which was followed by years of repression, popular apathy and de-mobilization, the destruction of the revolutionary Republic itself, and eventually the restoration of the very Bourbon monarchy that the Paris crowds had brought down decades earlier — felt a lot like the present."

Today is of course the sacred anniversary of the great French Revolution.

To the surprise of some colleagues and students, the philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel always toasted the anniversary:

“This glass is for the 14th of July, 1789 — to the storming of the

I always try to imagine the scene

(I'll share some historical miscellany in this 🧵 while trying to get around to some other relevant historical anniversaries)

@GreenFire @Homoevolutis0 @theynege The holiday commemorates both the storming of the and the Fête de la Fédération a year later in 1790 that celebrated French unity. The military parade in took on additional meaning after World Wars I and II. German troops had mockingly paraded along the same route during the Occupation.

Today in Labor History July 14, 1789: Parisians stormed the Bastille, marking the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a fortress, armory and political prison, and was a symbol of tyranny, feudal authority and the "divine" rights of kings. The Marquis de Sade had been imprisoned there and was transferred out only 10 days before the storming. The French Revolution succeeded in overthrowing the monarchy, replacing it with a bourgeois republic. However, it sparked optimism among working people throughout the world and inspired other revolutions, like the Haitian Revolution, in 1791.
