Claiming the Bicycle: Women, Rhetoric, and Technology in Nineteenth-Century America by Sarah Hallenbeck, 2015

Although the impact of the bicycle craze of the late nineteenth century on women’s lives has been well documented, rarely have writers considered the role of women’s rhetorical agency in the transformation of bicycle culture and the bicycle itself.

#19thCentury

In Claiming the Bicycle , Sarah Hallenbeck argues that through their collective rhetorical activities, women who were widely dispersed in space, genre, and intention negotiated what were considered socially acceptable uses of the bicycle, destabilizing cultural assumptions about femininity and gender differences. Hallenbeck describes the masculine culture of the “Ordinary” bicycle of the 1880s and the ways women helped bring about changes in this culture; asserts that women contributed to bicycle design, helping to produce the more gender-neutral “Safety” bicycle in response to discourse about their needs; and analyzes women writers’ uses of the new venue of popular magazines to shape a “bicycle girl” ethos that prompted new identities for women. The author considers not only how technical documents written by women bicyclists encouraged new riders to understand their activity as transforming gender definitions but also how women used bicycling as a rhetorical resource to influence medical discourse about their bodies. Making a significant contribution to studies of feminist rhetorical historiography, rhetorical agency, and technical communication, Claiming the Bicycle asserts the utility of a distributed model of rhetorical agency and accounts for the efforts of widely dispersed actors to harness technology in promoting social change.

The most unmistakable sign that someone is a Russian asset or a Putin stooge is when they claim Churchill was the main villain of World War II. If someone claims this, they are 100% working for Vladimir Putin.

To be fair he did some horrid things and some quite stupid (Gallipoli campaign in WW1) but absolutely the right man for the moment in WW2

Hello :mastodon:

Je tente : je cherche un travail de développeur.

Après une école d'ingé, j'ai fait 3 ans comme développeur backend.

Dans mes rêves les + fous, ce taff aurait trait aux sciences humaines, ou au journalisme. Dans cette optique, je m'intéresse au travail sur les données. Tout ce qui touche à l'écologie m'intéressera aussi bcp.

Si vous avez un peu besoin d'informatique, mais pas uniquement, ça peut carrément m'intéresser aussi !

Pas de problème si CDD.

Idéalement Paris ou Rennes, mais pas de soucis sinon pour le télétravail.

Quelques infos en + ici : clementbrizard.github.io/

So, what I'm hearing is we owe the existence of epic fantasy series to insomnia? I'm guessing I can't be the only fantasy writer that doesn't sleep well 🤔😂
And it beats existential dread, or replaying mistakes, by a smidge 😜

Tweet from C.G. Drews: Apparently some people go to bed and just...sleep??? They don't plot a 7-book epic fantasy series or softly broil in existential dread or replay every mistake they ever made??? And then they wake up [checks notes] REFRESHED? I just. It sounds a bit fake.

August–September 2024 Development Update

We have spent the time since the last update on infrastructure tasks and smaller features.

Most importantly, we have configured Codeberg Translate, the Codeberg’s (@Codeberg) instance of Weblate, for Topola. This provides an easy way to translate Topola without having to know how to use advanced software such as Git.

We invite you to translate Topola to your language too!

Full blog post on topola.dev/blog/2024/09/01/aug…

Just uploading another public domain film to my PeerTube instance, it really is an amazing bit of software!

It lets you make your own little YouTube and join it up with other people's little YouTubes so you can watch each other's uploads, but there are no adverts and no Google or any other corporations.

Seriously, if you're at all interested in making your own instance, highly recommend you give it a go. Non-techies can use @fedihost, moderate techies can install through @yunohost, hardcore techies can install it manually.
