Today's image was from Giovanni Sercambi’s chronicle of his hometown of Lucca. This image reflects an experience of the Second Plague Pandemic. It provided an entry into discussing limits of sources, as opposed to their biases. Sercambi's illustration tells us how people thought of plague, but not how plague spread.

I wrote more about using this and other images here: https://ebeckman.org/2021/02/24/using-historical-sources-about-the-plague/

I put together an AP-style DBQ for my class last week using some of the plague sources. Just added it to a page with presentation I did on teaching the Second Plague Pandemic.

I am interested in adding East Asian source or two. @teachworldhistory @histodons Suggestions?

Hi, folks! I just joined Archaeo.social because I'm an archaeologist, although I see little archaeological content in the posts. I hope that's not a permanent condition. Look forward to seeing more from the group.

Warmest regards,

@Nohoch_Ol Archaeo should be a majority. In fact, that's why I check in periodically.

Look at "Live feeds", "This server" (the default).
https://archaeo.social/public/local
^ Every post as it's created. Block/mute to reduce chatty accounts/bots you're not interested in.

"Explore" presents stuff from anywhere that's popular with folks on your instance.

@Nohoch_Ol You can follow hashtags: posts your instance is aware of, via following folks / url pasting.
Caveat: Can't put em in lists.

https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-follow-hashtags-on-mastodon-and-the-fediverse/

The Advanced Web Interface can pin a column as a persistent hashtag search. Plus mix in 3 more tags (and/or/not logic).

https://fedi.tips/how-to-activate-mastodons-tweetdeck-style-advanced-web-interface/

Or follow a.gup.pe group accounts: bots that boost any public posts mentioning em. Somewhat like following a tag. Except they CAN go in lists.

Hallo, ich bin und werde wohl vor allem zum Phantastischen, Nächtlichen und Dämonischen in Literatur und Kultur des 19. Jahrhunderts posten. Vielleicht finden sich hier ja ein paar Leute, die meine Begeisterung dafür teilen ... 😊

Zur Einstimmung schon mal ein Gemälde von Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, "Burg Scharfenberg bei Nacht", aus dem Jahr 1827.

There is a line of code in two dynamic_popups files that must be changed:

  • Line 52 of dynamic_popups_pro.css
  • Line 66 of dynamic_popups_pro_max.css

This:

        --panel-background: none !important;

should be this:

        /* Default color: */
        /*--panel-background: var(--arrowpanel-background) !important;*/
        /* Fenix color: */
        --panel-background: var(--toolbar-bgcolor) !important;

This is needed because setting the --panel-background to none negatively affected the extension/addon download and install popups.

I thought I'd posted here with my latest chapter of "Skirmishes and Schisms" on .

Chapter 7 is out, and as Klor'asq finally meets those who thought he needed freeing, Ferrfeiss wonders if all the heartache and effort had been for nothing.

@FibroJedi can you find a real life writers group ? Meet and read and talk about each other's stories?

@FibroJedi@gamepad.club avatar

@neilhimself That's not something I'd thought about, but I can look into it, thanks. I don't drive due to chronic pain and live in the middle of nowhere, but maybe virtual groups exist.

Thank you for the idea.

Ik dacht altijd dat ‘you’ in het Engels hetzelfde is als ‘jij’, maar nu lees ik (in een boek van Lydia Rood) dat dat vroeger juist de beleefdheidsvorm was naast ‘thou’, dat is verdwenen, behalve in het Schotse dialect.

@fifischwarz @lalage @schoudaan @boeken Ik ben verbaasd over de overeenkomst met het Nederlands . En ook weer niet. Vast van voor de invloed van de Franse taal.

Dat viel mij ook op ja. Het laat goed zien en horen dat Engels van oorsprong een Germaanse taal is.

"But Kay’s situation is also unusual: For one, she sued the Rover for defamation. And documents made public recently as part of the lawsuit point the finger at not just the student publication but others at the university. The documents suggest that Notre Dame students, faculty, and alumni worked behind the scenes to amplify Kay’s statements and draw public outrage."

"We are seeking funds to offset the additional costs of Prof Kay’s lawsuit against the Irish Rover, and for costs to ensure her safety and security as she continues to try to ensure that academic freedom and safety are prioritized not only for herself but for all Notre Dame faculty, staff and students."

Embarrassingly, I had made a typo in the true_mobile_mode.css file on Line 31.

This:

        --PanelUI-menu-button-position: 4px;

should be this:

        --PanelUI-menu-button-position: 5px;

This literally just raises the Main App Menu (≡) button by one pixel when using “Touch” density mode.

@LePertti visually the game is great, but the gameplay for the first part is a little rough around the edges. The visuals and story kept me going though.

Okay, I think I am done updating files for a while now.

I have fixed all known issues, and everything works well. The only issue is a cosmetic one that doesn’t really matter and is unlikely to be noticed (the Tab Manager Menu in landscape mode doesn’t expand to use the full screen, but it works well and is very usable).

So I think it’s safe for everyone to save the files they need now.

For info on all of the recent updates, check the October 2023 Halloween Update (post 55).

For anyone that saw my post yesterday (November 11th), please check it again. There are additional updates from today, and I edited that post to include them.
