Adeleide Johannessen in character as Nora, from a cigarette card of c. 1880 – c. 1882. Adeleide Johannessen is captured mid-action, holding a tambourine in her raised hand, evoking an energetic or defiant moment from her performance as Nora. Her body language is dynamic, and her intense facial expression reflects the emotional depth and complexity of Nora's character, perhaps hinting at her journey of self-discovery and rebellion. Johannessen wears a full-length Victorian-era dress, with detailed pleating, fitted bodice, and layered skirts that cinch at the waist with a decorative belt.

'Christmas with the family? Be prepared for the heated debates.'

Yet another example of why we should put librarians in charge of everything. They understand real people and real life. They just go to work every day and try to make the world a better place.

#Bibliotek
#Libraries

A big book display in the middle of Dokk1 Bibliotek - the main library in Aarhus, Denmark. The theme is given on a hand-drawn chalkboard sign that says: 'Julefrokost med familien? Bliv klar til de mest betændte debatter.' My loose translation: 'Christmas with the family? Be prepared for even the most inflammatory debates.' At the end, they drew two little stick figures, standing apart but with a line with a heart on it connecting them. The books are displayed face out and include 'Gid Vi Gad.' 'Satanic Panic.' 'Hags: the demonization of middle-aged women.' Bernie Sanders' 'It's okay to be angry about capitalism.' Naomi Klein's 'No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need.' 'Everything You Need to Know About Being Trans.' Rige Børn - Rich Children: a portrait of the class society in Denmark.' 'Gender: Your Guide' and lots of other happily wide-awake woke titles. This photo shows one side of the display.
This photo shows the other side of the display that is centrally described in the other photo in this toot.

#OTD in 1892.

Brandon Thomas' farce Charley's Aunt begins a record-breaking London run at the Royalty Theatre (following a pre-London opening at Bury St Edmunds on February 29).

The play was an immediate success, opening to enthusiastic audiences & excellent notices from the press. It ran for a record-breaking 1,466 performances across four years, closing on 19 December 1896.

Charley's Aunt is available at LibriVox

Publicity photograph of four members of the original cast of Charley's Aunt T C Turner and Co, Barnsbury Park, London - Lost Theatres of London The publicity photograph of four members of the original cast of Charley’s Aunt, taken by T.C. Turner & Co. of Barnsbury Park, London, is an iconic visual record of the performers from one of the most celebrated comedies of the late 19th century. This production, which premiered in 1892, became a theatrical phenomenon, and the photograph captures its early legacy. The photograph features four actors from the original cast, posed together in a formal arrangement typical of late Victorian promotional images. One actor is likely dressed as "Charley’s Aunt" herself, donning the exaggerated costume of the elderly aunt—a long dress, bonnet, and perhaps a shawl—reflecting the farcical and cross-dressing comedic nature of the play. The costumes are period-appropriate, reflecting the late Victorian style of formal attire for gentlemen (suits, waistcoats, and cravats) and the elaborate, exaggerated garb of the aunt character, which plays a central comedic role in the story.

#OTD in 1904.

The first of Virginia Woolf's published writings, "Haworth, November 1904", an account of a visit to the Brontë family home, appears anonymously in a women's supplement to a clerical journal, The Guardian. (A book review written later has appeared in the same journal a week earlier.)

#books #literature

This is the draft of the essay, which appeared in The Guardian in December 1904. Woolf opens by briefly questioning the legitimacy of literary tourism, and decides that her visit to Haworth is acceptable because it added to her understanding of the Brontës’ books. After walking the West Yorkshire moors in the bleak November weather and spending time in the family’s home and church, Woolf concludes that “however harsh the struggle, Emily, and Charlotte above all, fought to victory.” via @NYPL https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/galleries/section-1-early-years/item/13112#:~:text=%E2%80%9CHaworth%3A%20November%2C%201904%E2%80%9C%20essay%20draft&text=Woolf's%20first%20published%20essay%20is,The%20Guardian%20in%20December%201904.

Thou hast let billionaires play god, and now they’re treating thy government like a game of Twister—one hand on greed, one foot on corruption, and a fucking faceplant right into dystopia.

#ArduinoLibraries #FOSS #Bot

ArduinoLibs bot is one year old 🎉

🐘 fosstodon.org/@arduinoLibs
🟦 bsky.app/profile/arduinolibs.b…

the fediverse account didn't grow much though 🤔

is there any bot owner out there that could help me understand that gap?

possible causes I can think of:

- bot filtering/throttling is stronger on fediverse than on bluesky
- account landed in a federated blacklist
- server landed in a federated blacklist
- fediverse community doesn't care about that kind of content

Installed #Kubuntu 24.10 over a UAlinux 20.04 yesterday for reasons. Install went ok, maybe 15 minutes. Then came the problems. The laptop's HDMI port wasn't recognized, so no external screen. The drivers for the graphics card weren't installed, not even Nouveau. Customization settings are not preserved, this is like a bug from 2011. The mouse doesn't work in games. It's a shambles. How is such trash meant to ever replace Windoze?

to add to my post, all the problems I mentioned went away when I changed from Wayland back to X11. The guilty party was Wayland, this thing is so not ready for mainstream use, and #kubuntu 24.10 makes this crap the default. #linux #gamingonlinux
