@histodons Can anyone recommend a single-volume history on SFR Yugoslavia? Any texts focusing on the development of its unique political economy would be particularly helpful. #history#Yugoslavia
Hashtags were fundamental to how I used Twitter. They helped not only with discoverability but also classification, organization, and community building. #Threads offers none of this. #Bluesky tries to make up for the lack of tags with feeds, but these don't help with topics that emerge on the fly. Only Mastodon offers #hashtags, but for them to work, more people need to enable the option #Mastodon now has to make one's posts visible to search from across the fediverse. @histodons#histodons
@gunchleoc@hno@markstoneman@histodons I think the way they worked though this and came up with a solution that works for the majority of people is really commendable.
On the painting with the title "The Alchemist" from the Flemish Mattheus van Helmont, circa mid seventeenth century, are many uses and abuses of #earlymodern paper products reflected in the details. I will address 7 of these paper issues in the thread. Bonus for #Alchemy friends: a large écorché figure, a distillation apparatus over a fire, and metal working assistants.
Enjoy.
@lutzray@bojacobs@histodons where they detail the reasons why the US actually thinks it can carry out a nuclear strike on Russia without fear of retaliation: The US THINKS it has sufficiently weakened Russia's ability to respond!
That's the dangerous situation we are in - American hubris !!
#OnThisDay in #history - Annie Besant (nee Wood) was born in 1847. Annie was born in London, and married at age 20, but the marriage fell apart in a few years. She separated from her husband and began to write - she was an ardent supporter of worker's and women's rights, even publishing a book on contraception (for which she was put on trial and custody of her daughter was given to her ex-husband). She advocated for Irish and Indian Home Rule and independence. #otd#histodons@histodons
On Nov. 27, 1978, the late Dianne Feinstein, then the 45-year-old president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors and two-time failed mayoral candidate called a press conference to announce her retirement.
That afternoon, a supervisor shot Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey White.
Feinstein handled the moment with poise, and went on to serve 9 years as mayor and 3 decades in the U.S. Senate.
#OnThisDay in #history - in 1810, Elizabeth Gaskell (nee Stevenson) was born. Elizabeth was born in London to a well-to-do family. After her mother's death, she lived with her aunt in the countryside. There, she received a good education and after her marriage began to publish novels (all have been adapted by the BBC). She explored the lives of working class people in Manchester, and in her lifetime was lauded as the greatest English novelist since Jane Austen. @histodons#histodons#OTD
Spot the difference: on the left, the copperplate print is hand-coloured after the print run, and on the right no extra work is done. Colouring prints was a thing in #earlymodern Europe. Guess which version was more expensive - and sold better?
@dbellingradt@histodons Als "Malen nach Zahlen" verpackt, wären die Drucke sicher zum Verkaufsschlager geworden. Es ist alles nur eine Frage der richtigen Werbekampagne.

Even some early movie films were hand coloured. All those tiny frames!
Though there was RGB colour film at the end of the Victorian age an exposure was 20 minutes. It wasn't till there was CYM layered film that colour movies were possible.
I think before 1742 China was doing coloured prints using multiple wood blocks.
Nitric acid was 14th C, or maybe 10th C. But using it for silver nitrate photos was 19th C.
Avis aux contemporanéistes du réseau. L'arrière grand-père de ma compagne était un militant du PC dans les Vosges, à Gérardmer. J'ai appris l'existence du fonds RAGSPI et j'ai découvert qu'il y avait un dossier à son nom. Je cherche à obtenir la copie de ce dossier dont on trouve la réf ici : https://sovdoc.rusarchives.ru/sections/organizations//cards/230582
Qui sait comment accéder à ce fonds et qui pourrait en détenir une copie ? J'ai compris que des microfilms pouvaient exister en France... #archives@archivistodon@histodons

Néanmoins les dossiers personnels ne sont pas en ligne. Il semble qu'ils soit consultable sur à Moscou. Toutefois une partie des dossiers semblent être consultable au Centre d’Histoire Sociale de Paris 1. Quelqu'un a-t-il des infos complémentaires ?
Paul Blobel beaufsichtigte das Massaker von #BabynJar. In seiner Vernehmung spielte er die Zahl der Opfer und seine Beteiligung herunter, gab aber grundsätzlich zu, dass das Verbrechen stattfand.
