Said to be one of the oldest photographs taken in Barbados of a Bajan, this image captures Nancy Daniels. The picture is believed to have been taken in the 1850s, either at a studio in Bridgetown by the photographer Campion or at the house where she worked as a domestic servant.

Nancy was born either in 1751 or 1755 in West Africa, believed to be modern day Nigeria as it was thought she was of Igbo ethnicity. Her real name is unknown and it is believed she came to Barbados in her teens or as a young woman. Even though Nancy would have grown up in West Africa, survived the Middle Passage and being sold into slavery, the devastating Bridgetown Fire of 1766, the destructive hurricane of 1780, the Bussa revolt of 1816 as well as Emancipation and Apprenticeship, little is known of her life.

She is known to have lived in Bridgetown at Synagogue Lane and worked for the Daniels family as a domestic servant, for whom she worked for many years, first as an enslaved women and later as a domestic servant after Emancipation. At her death her age is officially recorded as 116 years, dying and buried on September 24th, 1871, but oral sources from the family put her age at 120 years old. She is one of the oldest people to have lived in Barbados, achieving super centenarian status.

@gerritvanaaken Es gibt noch den Sicherheitsaspekt, der in bestimmten Situationen für #Jamstack spricht: Sind 95% der Site statisch, dann macht es Sinn, sie zu generieren und damit kaum hackbar zu machen. 5% bauen über ein API auf die dynamischen Teile, was einfacher sicher zu betreiben ist (gerade im Vergleich zu klassischen dyn CMS). Ich baue z.B. gerade die neue Site für openflightmaps.org mit #Bridgetown, da ist es wichtig, dass die Site danach keine Wartungs-Dauerbaustelle wird.

After playing a lil with the Serbea #template engine, I've decided to morph the #ERB templates of my #bridgetown sites to Serbea. To get at least basic syntax coloring on the Nova editor, I've quickly thrown out a Nova extension for Serbea. https://github.com/svoop/Serbea.novaextension #ruby

El 6 de Octubre es, desde hoy, Día de CARICOM-#Cuba contra el terrorismo, en memoria de quienes murieron ese día de 1976 en atentado terrorista a un avión de Cubana cerca de las costas de #Barbados. Ante el monumento a las víctimas en #Bridgetown, nuestro sentido homenaje.

The oldest continuously open #synagogue in the western hemisphere is Nidhe Israel in #Bridgetown, #Barbados. Started by Jews expelled from Spain, Holland, and Brazil they were allowed into #Barbados in the early #seventeenthcentury. For a short time there was a second #synagogue in Little Bristol, now known as #Speightstown. Many Barbadians don't know about the synagogue, even its status as a museum.

Read Olivia Lazard's comment on outcome of #COP27! She argues that climate-vulnerable countries together with the #EU actually achieved some significant break-throughs. #LossAndDamage but also #Bridgetown Initiative made it into the final text at COP27 - calling for a substantial reform of the financial institutions.
There could have been more but instead of getting lost now in despair, these achievements should even increase our actions! #ClimateAction #ClimateChange

Great 🧵 from @Guay_JG@twitter.com. Good news that there are some perceptible shifts in the right direction at #COP27 - notable @BIDInvest@twitter.com @ADB_HQ@twitter.com and course the impact of the #Bridgetown Initiative to help public finance deploy to help private finance flow. https://twitter.com/guay_jg/status/1590440475278082048

Hello everybody! I’m a Chilean developer living in London since 2018. I really enjoy Ruby (#rails and #bridgetown ) and now #hotwire as well.
I created Dailytics a few years ago and really enjoy working with API from privacy friendly stats providers.
Oh, I also play the guitar, at least I used to. #introduction

Recently I've published a Ruby on Rails Changelog explorer - Rails publishes the changes in various CHANGELOG.md, but it's hard to link back to the PR, and hard to follow up and scan it, so i've build a small static site that refreshes daily:
