@globalmuseum Pottery from ancient days always fascinates me; I think of the hands, so long ago, that fashioned it, then later, daily used it. It's a connection to our human family from long ago.

While organizing files I found this totally awesome tintype of my great- great- grandmother, Mary F. Figert! On the envelope it says she was 19yrs old in the photo. She was born in 1854 so the photo was made circa 1873. Mary passed away in 1926.Looking good, Grandma--and what a cool hat! 1/2 🧵 #Portrait #History #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Darktable

A year ago I started building first prototypes of a device that would be capable of calculating #moon phases based on the historical Metonic cycle. The result was „Meton“, a 3D-printed lunar phase calculator. So if you need an #opendata moon machine, go ahead. https://www.thomasweibel.ch/?post=rechner-aus-dem-drucker Or build it yourself, from oak and steel. #astronomy #astrophysics #mathematics #antiquity #history #3dprint #mechanics #moonphase #openglam #digitalhumanities #diy #analogcomputing

The Esztergom coal loader (Hungarian: Esztergomi szénrakodó) is a rusting relic located in the Danube River of Hungary.Nearly 100 years old, this abandoned industrial structure once played a key role in Hungary’s coal distribution network.Today it is a ramshackled hulk. A slowly disintegrating skeleton of concrete and rusted steel succumbing to time and the elements. https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/industrial/esztergom-coal-loader-esztergomi-szenrakodo-hungary/ #Hungary #Coal #Mining #History #Abandoned #Rust #Ruins #Urbex #AbandonedPlaces

Food for ThoughtChristian nationalism isn’t faith-driven — it’s power-driven.History shows that when belief becomes law, dissent becomes heresy and pluralism becomes threat. Systems claiming divine certainty silence questions first.#Brewminate #History #CivilLiberties

It was labeled “Spanish Flu” because allied forces in World War I embargoed any news about the spreading and deadly influenza, but Spain wasn’t involved in the war, so any focus or mentions about the disease came out of Spanish press and media.That’s why it’s called “Spanish Flu”.This is a post about #American creepy weirdos.#history
