I created a prismo account to share cool links about history and culture stuff:

So... I created a @pixelfed account : @KrisO. You can expect photos of museums and cities visited, #knitting and landscapes too.

Good article about the suppressed contributions of women in science. While I would optimistically like to think that most people know about Rosalind Franklin's contribution to the discovery of the structure of DNA now, the problem goes much deeper.
Someone on Twitter mentioned that in some regions of Germany, a common idiom for whenever there's mist in the forest is "The foxes are making coffee", and thought the image was evocative enough for an illustration.
Well, I took the bait! 🦊☕
Calling all #Fediverse admins of instances in the #EU. The #CopyrightDirective is coming, we need to show the MEPs how massively the EU Internets will be affected.
We are preparing a list of all EU-based #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale, and any other instances.
Please *contact me*. All I need is the domain name, which EU Member State it's located in, and the rough topic of the instance. Approximate user count welcome, but not necessary.
Please help. This is important.

En 1880, dans les Hautes-Alpes, un menuisier cache un récit autobiographique sous le plancher qu’il était en train de poser dans un château. Sachant qu’il ne sera pas lu avant cent ans, il se livre et n’épargne personne dans le village, offrant une peinture acérée des mœurs de son temps. #histoire #menuisier #conférence https://youtu.be/WLhZn90L1kw

This is a SOS.
I'm taking an online course but I don't know how to study. I mean it literally.
The material is a 100 pages pdf. Obviously I can't learn everything in it. I don't know how to find a way to study that works for me. Should I just read it again and again or take notes while reading, or doing mind mapping (but then how do I choose what is important to know)...
What I'm asking is what is your own method to study? Do you have any tips on how to find my own way ?

Tiny bits of blue pigment in a medieval female skeleton were a big discovery for scientists, suggesting that women — not just monks — worked on making lavishly illustrated texts.

The sad side of this piece of news is that the latin course is optional so no credit for it.
