FACT OF THE DAY. 8 February 1950. East German State Security Service (SSD), which everyone called the Stasi, was officially founded by law. It spied on its own citizens on a massive scale. It was considerably more pro-active and extensive than even the Gestapo.

New book Monday...starting this new work by @renatakeller.bsky.social
Latin America's Cold War experience is very often overlooked or simply used as a backdrop to the US-Soviet conflict, without recognizing that local actors all have agency and influence. Looking forward to this!

A child’s footprint frozen in time - pressed into a #Roman tile as it dried before firing nearly 1,800 years ago.

A tiny, timeless reminder of everyday life in the ancient world.

A close-up photo of a Roman tile, featuring a clearly imprinted footprint of a small child's right foo. The tiles shows a rough, broken edge on the left and top, with the detailed five-toed impression visible on the worn surface against a neutral gray background.
