    Curious, isn't it, that the only people who ever question my credentials or competence as a historian are those who, in the very next breath, assert some ridiculous pseudohistorical nonsense as fact. I mean that literally, it's the only time it ever comes up. #history #historodons

    I chose this instance because it looked pretty active, and there is strong moderation against Nazis. Those are really the main criteria for me.

    I totally didn't realize until yesterday that the .at in our instance domain refers to Argentina. And here I was wondering why there's so much Spanish on my tootstream! 😂

    This article about the last of the polio survivors who still use iron lungs is a powerful look at history, and a strong case for vaccination and herd immunity. https://gizmodo.com/the-last-of-the-iron-lungs-1819079169

    1. The Last of the Iron Lungs
      from Gizmodo
      Martha Lillard spends half of every day with her body encapsulated in a half-century old machine that forces her to breathe. Only her head sticks out of the end of the antique iron lung. On the other side, a motorized lever pulls the leather bellows, creating negative pressure that induces her lungs to suck in air.

    Some racist idiot tried to post a comment on my blog denying the Armenian genocide of 1915 and questioning my credentials as a historian because I accept the proven facts that it happened. Then he complains that I didn't approve his comment. Nope. No racist pseudohistory on my blog!

    @ink_slinger Yup, that's it. Hanging around on a hilltop in Athens wearing a toga and talking about civic virtue is apparently the best form of government, according to the Greeks at least!

    I am not a Marxist, but given a choice between hanging out with a Marxist or a Libertarian, you can go ahead and wrap me in a hammer and sickle flag!

    I love how our incidence has so many socialists, left-anarchists, Spanish speakers and LGBT folks on it. The worst nightmares rolled into one for the right wing trolls on the birdsite. 😂

    @ink_slinger Actually, Aristotle talked about this kind of thing..."democracy" was the corrupt and fallen version of "polity."

    We're watching De Palma's "Blow Out," and it's really a great movie. Haven't seen it in years. I used to live in Philadelphia in the 80s and it brings back memories.

    Of course, it would appear 75% of you speak Spanish, so you may not even know what I'm saying. 😂

    Not that that's bad. 😉

    I like how it's generally much more chill here. Twitter always feels so competitive.

    You were all so much nicer to me when I posted my anti-NaNoWriMo article here than they are on the birdsite.
