Also, started a series on the history of #hell from a #pagan perspective, because most folks don't know some of those ideas came from #paganism. Link is below to part 2, part 1 talked about the Hellenic and zoroastrian influences, part 2 talks about Sheol and Gehenna as well as Virgil's Aenid which inspired Dante. #historydons #history #eschatology

Has anyone written anything on the names of forced labor camps (slave plantations)? New Hope, Amistad (friendship) are two I've learned the names of while reading Ada Ferrer's Cuba and the names are both sickening and shocking.

Not sure why she doesn't use # yet or things that would make her more searchable, but I'm SO happy she is here! @wikivictorian sharing random stuff from the 1800's to the 1920's

"'Disney’s 1989 portrayal of Ariel as white, slender and feminine continues...racially-coded messages that come straight out of 18th & 19th-century European imperial racism'"

Has anyone tried MyHeritage’s new AI Time Machine? You upload some photos of yourself and it puts you in different historical periods. And also gives you weird hands (because of course it does). #history #aiart #historydons

A thread about sutures! Merson sutures we’re developed in Edinburgh, and manufactured on a site I walk past on my home from work - though the building isn’t there any more. They were developed by an Aberdonian pharmacist called George Merson who moved to Edinburgh in 1905. Before WWI, he was employed by J.F.Macfarlan and Co, who led the way in manufacturing surgical products such as anaesthetics and analgesics - including morphine acetate, the medicinal version of heroin #histmed #historydons
