On this day in 1891, Ellen Martin went to the polls in Lombard, IL & demanded to vote. Martin noted that the town’s charter did not explicitly limit voting in town elections to men. The election judges reluctantly agreed with Martin, who reportedly became the 1st woman to vote in Illinois. #WeTheMen

This silver coin was likely struck in Syracuse in the 460s BC. Its depiction of a highly realistic octopus shows the incredible skill of the artist and the city’s close relationship with the sea. A mini-masterpiece. #AncientBlueSky 🏺

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

As Maria said: "I am far from thinking every woman should be an astronomer or a mathematician or an artist, but I do think that every woman should strive for perfection in everything she undertakes. If it be art, literature or science, let her work be incessant, continuous, life-long." #WomeninSTEM
