If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

She moderated her tone in the lead-up to July 28, but Machado is now engaging with the MAGA camp. How did she get here after 25 years?

In my classroom, there is always a delay. Between question and answer. That space—the stutter, the pause, the gesture—is where actual teaching happens. Not in the bullet points or the Google Doc comments, but in the moment someone says, “I don’t know if this makes sense, but—” and suddenly it does.

In Deutschland sehen sich Museen & Gedenkstätten zunehmend mit politischer Einflussnahme konfrontiert. Wie sieht das in Berlin/Brandenburg aus? In dem Beitrag gibt es u.a. Einschätzungen aus dem @wannseekonferenz.bsky.social. #MuseumMitHaltung #Erinnerungskultur #Geschichtsbewusstsein
Museen und Gedenkstätten im Kampf gegen zunehmende politische Einflussnahme
In den USA will Donald Trump die Nationalmuseen ideologisch ausrichten – mit finanziellen Drohungen. Auch in Deutschland wächst der politische Einfluss auf Museen, besonders dort, wo Erinnerungskultur und gesellschaftliche Themen im Fokus stehen. Eine Recherche von Viktoria Kleber vom rbb Kulturrechercheteam zeigt: Der Druck kommt zunehmend von rechts – und trifft auch Mitarbeitende persönlich.

Wisdom, moral imagination, an enlarged sympathy for those who live or have lived differently from yourself. This is what you get from studying the Humanities. So quite important, actually.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...
Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
