Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
Modern scholarship long tended to dismiss the episode as fictional, citing lack of contemporary evidence. 1/n
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
In 2018, 2 historians from the historical Luther sites set forth the case for the authenticity of the tradition that he nailed the 95 theses to the church door OTD 1517:
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
Book historian Andrew Pettegree, who accepts the tradition, makes the key points in Brand Luther (2017):
Even Luther did not see the Theses as extraordinary
I’m pretty well-versed in Star Trek lore, but it’s always nice to get another perspective. After reading the article I had a brain storm. Lucile Ball was [amazingly enough] a big wheel at Desilu and pushed for the second pilot. She must have liked the first one because it dared to have a smart woman in a position of power. I’m sure many other people have had that notion, and I think it’s funny that it took me so long to see the obvious.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN... AND (AUDIO)BOOK BIRTHDAY TO #CHAMELEONMOON!
Narrated by the incredible Kyle Rocco East (and me!) and containing two fully produced original songs, my first published book is now my first published #audiobook!
I can't even tell you how happy and excited (and tired) I am, but it's here! You can listen to all its entire-cast-of-queer-superheroes-surviving-fiery-dystopia-through-rebellious-hope-love-and-rock'nroll right now, with your ears!
To my incredible Kickstarter backers, and everyone here, thank you so, so much for following me on this incredible journey!
(Indie Creator Note: I am going to be QUITE shameless about promoting this for the next few days, and would ask very humbly that if you're reading this, Mega Please, Boost! No algorithm here, so we gotta be it for each other! <3)
Could someone please help me get a safe home?🏳️⚧️🤞🏼
Please friends, I need everyone's help to be able to get a new safe home. I have been outside for many days, I am in danger of being beaten again and I have not been able to eat well for days. The little I have received is to be able to sleep in a hotel. Please, if you have something extra don't hesitate to donate🙏🏼💔 #MutualAid#TransCrowdfund#trans@mutualaid
My answers from Firefish unfortunately do not arrive here on Lemmy. It would be great if it basically worked from Firefish, now. If it is instance-dependent, I would perhaps change the instance, because Firefish offers many advantages compared to Mastodon.
Update: Problem solved! It reads: Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten. So wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres recht große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald ganz eingedämmt ist, wird für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen.
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons I read your text snippet as "Es freut mich, daß Sie bis heute schon so große Erfolge erringen konnten und wünsche ich Ihnen auch für Ferneres noch große weitere Erfolge. Nachdem die jüdische Musik doch bald genug eingedämmt ist, wird auch für unsere deutschen Künstler wieder eine bessere Zeit kommen", even if the first sentence seems grammatically iffy (the word order is a bit uncommon, as if the writer perhaps rephrased the sentence during writing).
@carinealders@historikerinnen@histodons Mastodon's preferred translation service mistook the source language for Nederlands. Here is the German translation of the antisemitism, courtesy of DuckDuckGo:
"I am pleased that you have been able to achieve such great success to date. So I wish you great further success in the future. Now that Jewish music will soon be completely contained, a better time will come for our German artists."
Grad gelesen: angeblich hat Mastodon eine total große und aktive science-community. Das ist, äh, interessant. 🤔 Ich such die nämlich buchstäblich seit Monaten.
As a running example, we recollected (as best we could) the New York Times articles used to create the well-known Dynamics of Collective Action (DoCA) dataset. We provide the document-term matrix and the metadata for the DoCA corpus here: https://zenodo.org/records/8415049
