Since we’re discussing slavery, the life expectancy of somebody “sold down the river” to the Louisiana sugar plantations was about seven years. This is one of the many good publications about the unspeakable horrors our government wants to whitewash.
‘Lives of living death’: The reproductive lives of slave women in the cane world of Louisiana
This paper examines the seasonality of childbirth among slave women and addresses the relationship between seasonal workloads, nutrition, and pregnancy on large sugar plantations in nineteenth-cent...

Here's a few images from our trip to #Korčula, a beautiful island in #Croatia. That's where my grandpa was from. We have a house there.
A bay at dusk, calm sea, blue sky turning pink and purple. Trees, rocks surround the bay. Sunset over a bay, framed by pine trees. Various plants, including a palm tree, around a house. Blue sky in the background.

We are thrilled to announce that the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, with a keynote address by Professor Mark Stoyle, will be held on 30-31 October at the University of Exeter.

Please help us spread the world, and consider submitting a proposal!🗡️
Call for papers for the Conflict, War and Violence in the Early Modern World Conference, taking place at the University of Exeter on 30-31 October. We are exploring early modern conflict in all its forms. We particularly seek to unpack the interactions between the more traditional aspects of conflict, such as the political, tactical and strategic, with the more human side of it, including sociocultural approaches that explore experiences, representations and impacts of violence. As such, we particularly welcome proposals that look beyond purely military history and break chronological, geographical and disciplinary boundaries. We welcome proposals for individual papers of up to 20 minutes, or full panels of three to four papers, on any aspect of conflict, war and violence in the early modern period. Speakers might consider, but are not limited to, the following themes: Physical, tactical, operational and strategic aspects of warfare. Martial identities, values and motivations. Notions of gender, race, class and religion. Remembering, (re)imagining and representing violence and/or conflict. The experience of violence, its impact and the everyday at war. Popular allegiance in early modern conflict. Maritime violence and naval warfare. The bureaucracy of conflict, finance and the law. Abstracts of up to 300 words, along with a biographical note, should be sent to earlymodernwar@gmail.com by Friday 5th September.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Uğur Ümit Üngör laat zien hoe genocide geen kwestie is van monsters maar van omstandigheden. Met kalmte ontrafelt hij de logica van staatsterreur, en weigert mee te gaan in morele verontwaardiging of simplistische tegenstellingen tussen dader en slachtoffer.

Does Israel’s conduct in Gaza constitute genocide? LTO asked eleven international law experts. After 22 months of war, a clear tendency is emerging.

No agency insignia at all on their uniforms, so this is likely not DEA or ATF or FBI or Border Patrol. So probably it’s DHS, most likely ICE.

And yeah, the comment about “liberal” is really telling. These guys are wildly unprofessional.

While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused.

Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right?

Agent: Liberals already ruined it.

Meni je jasno da iz povijesnih razloga taj kolodvor u ZG ima smisla da ostane ali moderna velika stanica ne moze biti na toj lokaciji. Ne stane. Moralo bi se negdje izmjestiti kao ovaj busni u Splitu. Nema mjesta za ono sto je potrebno, zar ne?
