AHA executive director Jim Grossman was quoted in a Hechinger Report article by Javeria Salman about the “increasing politicization of social studies” in schools. The article discusses recent revisions or attempted revisions to learning standards in some states which, Grossman says, emphasize “rote memorization of facts that are deemed to help children become more patriotic” and prohibit certain histories from being taught. @histodons#histodonshttps://hechingerreport.org/teaching-social-studies-in-a-polarized-world/
In this 1671 painting from Hubert van Ravesteijn we see an exclusively designed paper packet leaning against a clay pipe, ready for consumption in a tavern.
In order to sell small units of tobacco, paper was needed: used papers and freshly printed papers. Zoom in:
@dbellingradt@histodons The #Neolatin poet Jacobus Balde SJ (1604-1668) wrote a satire against the abuse of tobacco in which you've also got a reference to paper as wrapping material for tobacco:
"Exin, membranâ positâ, vis magna Tabaci, / Nimirum niger atque ingens evolvitur anguis." (Tab. 10,26-27).
(Context: tobacco smokers unpack the tobacco and once the paper is taken off, black tobacco appears like a snake).
🔖 Most recent contribution on early modern tobacco literature probably is Kühlmann, Wilhelm. ‘Schreckensvision oder Drogenfreuden: Kontroverse Perspektiven der spätbarocken lateinischen und deutschen Tabaklyrik: Der Nordhauser Gymnasialrektor Johann Joachim Meier versus Johann Christian Günthers studentisches “Lob des Knaster-Tobacks” (1718)’. Daphnis 51, no. 4 (20 September 2023): 563–632. https://doi.org/10.1163/18796583-12340095.
📕 Routledge has published the book "The Spanish Anarchists and the Russian Revolution, 1917–24", authored by Arturo Zoffmann Rodrigues.
In it, the IHC researcher "explores the impact of the Russian Revolution on the world’s most powerful anarchist movement, the Spanish National Confederation of Labour."

On this day in 1717, Alice Finglas Slingsby died aged 70. The Journals show her gravestone inscription from Clonsilla, Co. Dublin: https://tinyurl.com/slingsby1717
One of the biggest mysteries I am having right now is the #mixtec#sabre
Every #mesoamerica or #aztec#history person I ask have either never seen this thing or only seen it shown in Mixtec codices and certain papers call it a sabre.
Mexicolore has a panel of experts and said they know nothing about it.
Codices often represent real weapons in them, but they can also be symbolic of something else.
Does anyone know more about this design of #sword ?
This is a recreation from a forum post that is now gone. The only image left is the page from Mexicolore, who do have experts but they have been wrong before.
I would love to have ballistic gel and test it out if I had the resources to make this.

You could experiment with a watermelon & glass chips affixed to straight & curved plywood 'swords.' My guess is you'd get a lot deeper cut with the curved blade & it would be less likely to get stuck.

Das hilft zum Beispiel, wenn man "grünen Käse" verstehen will. 😋 🧀
