@microblogc@DamienMarieAtHope hence Conquistadors killed for greed and power. A Calvinist can kill for pleasure without guilt or remorse. They are the perfect capitalists, and explains much about modern Capitalism emerging out of Calvinism, too...
@gnutelephony@microblogc@DamienMarieAtHope That’s not how Calvinism worked in the Americas. Not disputing the genocide, but the specific doctrinal mechanisms. See Benjamin Schmidt, Innocence Abroad: The Dutch Imagination and the New World. Joyce Chaplin, Subject Matter: Technology, the Body and Science on the Anglo-American Frontier, and Mark Valeri, Heavenly Merchandize: How Religion Shaped Commerce in Puritan America. #histodons@histodons
Congratulations! Your book was the catalyst for #neurodivergent sociologist me, that made it all fall into place. I am forever grateful. (For my parter who is not an autistic obsessive whose special interest is how people make sense of their lives & how diagnoses constructed by #SituatedActors operate as explanatory stories within hierarchies of power, the book that 💡 him was ‘Growing Into Autism’ by Sandra Thom Jones.)
That article is a bit out of date and wasn’t really true anyway. The people who are creating Pretendo, who wrote the blog post this article is based on, did an update on the situation, specifically calling out the media for their sloppy articles:
With that said, some outlets did a less than stellar job at reporting our last post, not covering some topics fully or accurately.
TL;DR: Many of the issues have already been fixed, even going so far as there are now entirely new servers in place to act as a proxy for Amazons servers to work around some security related incompatibility issues.
I’m not really a poetry guy. I love metaphor and allusion and symbology and fingers pointing at the moon, but when they get dense enough to collapse under their own mass into a poem, my interest usually evaporates. “Just say what you mean!” a part of me shouts out in frustration.
Is #TallBoiThursday a photo thing on here? I hope so, because I met this 10 m. (33 ft.) tall and v. handsome saguaro yesterday and want to show him off.
"It aims to extend the study of the dissemination of plainchant from localized research focused mostly on Europe and the Middle Ages to global research tracing transmission to other continents through to the modern era. "
🙏 @sapiens Such interesting questions from this project!
"Do you own a chant fragment or do you know someone who does? What do you know about its history and travels?"
@ClaireFromClare@medievodons I don't own any fragment or know other individuals that own, besides archives or museums. But there are lot of repositories regarding this kind of music and some of them thoroughly register their origin and whereabouts. You may already know most of them:
2023 recap: @biorxivpreprint & @medrxivpreprint posted >45k new preprints. We launched new features and social media, partnered with new journals, & ran a user survey. We also celebrated bioRxiv's 10th anniversary 🎉
Thank you for being part of this open and equitable endeavor! #OpenScience#preprints
@biorxivpreprint@medrxivpreprint even if these are not the only preprint server out there, both titles have really changed the scientific publishing landscape & mentality, normalising the idea of sharing research findings before peer reviewed publication.
Peer review is important but often shapes the presentation of findings rather than totally redefining them. As such, delaying the release of that research makes little sense. #academicchatter@academicchatter
