You know, the last time they built this fucking wall, they waived environmental studies and protections with basically the same results too. It's almost as if those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it.
From 2009. ciel.org/Publications/B…
2008. cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/…
A look back in February 2016. newsweek.com/environmental-…
But our arguments about this were nothing to the national media, which preferred to focus instead on mindless chants of "Built that wall" as anyone who pointed these actual facts out was mocked or ignored. Story of my life lol
Hell, I wrote about it myself. 2015 kcet.org/redefine/endan…
I broke the thread somehow

Brace yourself for all the anti-Semitic propaganda cloaked as "criticism" of George Soros that @Facebook is about to start pushing (again.) Remember the Definers smear campaign against him that they denied doing at first, until they were caught? nytimes.com/2020/01/31/opi…
You know who also weaponized all of that shit against George Soros in 2014, because he had a toddler tantrum about being criticized? buzzfeednews.com/article/emilyt…
Also: Soros was right then and he's right now.

It was a months-long strongarming campaign in full view of television cameras

It’s already happening to a certain extent. Look at aid to post-wildfire California and post-flooding Puerto Rico, for starters

They’ve been targeting Mexicans. Whole states have banned our books and classes in the last decade! “The banned books by mainly Chicano/Latino authors including author @Urrealism , came from a larger attack targeting the Mexican American Studies Program in TUSD...”
“This targeting of Mexican American Studies in TUSD led to the approval of the 2010 State of Arizona S.B. 2281 which outlawed classes or courses that:”
“(1) promote the overthrow of the United States government; (2) promote resentment toward a race or class of people; (3) are designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group or (4) advocate ethnic solidarity instead of the treatment of pupils as individuals.”

So, @UkNatArchives propose changes to document ordering to 24 files a day, what is the practical impact on some stake holders such as historians?

Grab a cuppa. Pull up a chair. We may be here a lil' while. /1

In short, archival work is a lesson in time management. Historians particularly usually want to blitz an eye watering amount of material, scraping for any scraps of information.

A good number work part time or are on low incomes, so prosperous productivity is essential. /2
Technology has really helped.

I personally like to stack up files and blitz through them. I'm one of a majority who photographs material to view later.

Sure you may skim a page on site, but the real study is at home/in the office, often working late /3

If you missed @emilyjmayo’s threads on female emperors in premodern Japan this week, you can check out a master list below! 🗾 She covers lots of great topics, from the idea of “tradition” & gendered language to their accomplishments! #history #womenshistory #twitterstorians:
The first thread of the week focused on the idea of male-centric inheritance traditions in modern Japan-- why can’t women succeed to the throne today? And when was this decided? 🤔
You might be wondering why we refer to the women who ruled in premodern Japan as “female emperors”! For a discussion of gendered language and translation, see the thread here:

#bkdk Deku gets turned into a snake 🐍 thread!! Sfw, cw for uhh snakes and bugs and probably nudity idk let's go
--

Izuku is on his way home for a surprise Sunday visit to his mother when he runs into someone with a transmogrification quirk.
He doesn't know if they're a villain or a hapless civilian; all he knows is his world has ballooned to ten times its size. Everything is huge!! A low wall has become a towering fortress; weeds sprouting in the sidewalk cracks now a copse of trees.
Most distressingly he is suddenly flat on his belly. Which is all he seems to be. One skinny noodle without arms or legs.

Izuku begins to panic.

He can't speak. He can't see more than a few feet in front of him, and it just looks like sidewalk stretching until the horizon.

[Thread] So, once again, @DineshDSouza has trotted out the tired "Nazis were socialists" argument. He does appear to have at least taken a picture of the cover of a scholarly book though, so that's something. Let's talk about this (again) 🤦‍♂️
First, off, let's just be clear about WHY DD and other conservatives make this argument in the first place. The argument goes something like this: "Socialism is bad. The Nazis were socialists (and very bad). All Democrats want socialism. Therefore, all Democrats are very bad."
It's the transitive property of stupid. And it's illogical, fallacious, and intellectually dishonest, but here we are.

(See cartoon by conservative Robert McCray)
