The commemoration of the massive (and tragic) Donghak peasant rebellion of 1894 in Jeongeup, South Korea. The columns refer to the 90 places involved and the names of the identified victims are added to each year. The ring reminds us never to forget. There is no memorial like this to 1789 in France.

A superb example of environmental history which integrates sensory experience, cultural identity, art, politics and economics in a beautifully written and gorgeous book.

A name used in my favourite Artois family… Memorial slab, with #MementoMori skull, in St Martin's, Carvin, to Robert Antoine & Barbe Catherine Duquesne, children of Jean François Duquesne & his wife Scholastique de Robespierre. @ser-1789.bsky.social @petermcphee.bsky.social @mlinton.bsky.social

An early 18C incised floor-slab in St Martin's Church, Carvin, France, with inscription for the siblings Robert Antoine & Barbe Catherine Duquesne. They are children of Jean François Duquesne and Scholastique de Robespierre. There is a skull memento mori carved at the bottom.

This is completely true. It's also true that all doctors in the USA first have a BS or a BA degree from a university and it's generally considered important that physicians be capable of empathy and dealing with uncertainty. These skills are taught in the Humanities (which NIH, NSF etc do not fund).

For #18thCenturyists, let us remember Ms Faithfull as one of the more authentic-looking figures in Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette': Maria Theresia. @invitinghistory.bsky.social @suburbanbeatnik.bsky.social @hottycouture.bsky.social @mlinton.bsky.social @petermcphee.bsky.social @annihawk.bsky.social

Marianne Faithfull as Maria Theresia in Sofia Coppola's film 'Marie Antoinette': a woman in 18C costume, with powdered hair and a richly decorated black dress, seated in a lavishly decorated room with gilded furniture and plasterwork.

In most developed countries people of all political leanings believe climate change is a global threat (86% of left-wingers and 75% of right-wingers in France!), with the exceptions of the US, Israel Canada and Australia where their right-wingers deny the threat posed by climate change.

Here in the UK there are curriculum issues. When I was at high school 1978-83, we did courses covering 2-3 centuries across diff countries. Now, there are 'modules' – gter depth, but more narrowly focussed & unconnected chronologically. No overview of what happened when, where, across Europe/world.

For me, André Zysberg will forever be synonymous with the history of French port city bagnes and quantitative history. RIP. 🗃

📢 Le "Quatremère de Quincy", de David Gilks vient de paraître ! Incontournable pour qui s'intéresse aux origines du Panthéon, mais plus largement à l'urbanisme parisien au temps de la Révolution française et à l'histoire des Lumières contre-révolutionnaires.

David Gilks' new book is a treasure-trove of illuminating detail and ideas. Warmly recommended.

I have over estimated the % of Americans who own a gun. And under estimated the number who imagine that as a left-handed atheist with a higher degree, I am anything other than rare.
