In his 'Journal of the Plague Year' Daniel Defoe gives some interested insights into the superstitions of Londoners during the time of contagion. Bay, tobacco, garlic and vinegar were believed to act against it. One popular amulet had the word 'Abracadabra' written out six times, one under the other with letters missed at each end, forming an inverted triangle. Many felt the plague had been foretold by comets in 1664 and 1665, but Defoe wryly noted that no fortune teller had successfully predicted their own demise. #London #folklore #literature #weird #history

Fasica Bihane fled #TigrayGenocide only to be exploited in Nairobi as a content moderator and get laid off for attempting to form a data workers’ union.

➡️Read her report on the toll of experiencing the genocide & moderating that content for Meta: data-workers.org/fasica/

are under surveillance CCTV and supervisors would rotate creeping on your back or patrolling you every now and then, so we are forced to consume very harmful content back to back non-stop until break time," she revealed. "We have to action every ticket within 50 seconds. If we delay, our statistics go down which will affect our average handling time (AHT) thus, it would have an impact on our production quality stats." "The only entertainment on production floor is the SRT group chat, where CMs send GIFs and memes to entertain themselves,"

Picture of a comic showing a hispanic-read migrant worker through a window clean the garden and cut a tree. Inside of the house two elderly people observe him through the window. One person is saying “Lets wait for him to finish cleaning up the yard before putting the sign back...” while the man is holding a yard sign saying “Mass Deportation Now!” (in republican election styling). The comic was drawn by John Branch for the Houston Chronicle in 2024

I wish I could retire this.

Please feel free to post it on any other social media, stick printed copies on lamp-posts etc.

In cities, there's an inverse relationship between driveability and livability.

If you find it hard to drive in a neighborhood (because of bikes, kids, pedestrians), that should be your sign to get out of the car and explore.

(Better yet, arrive by bicycle or transit, on foot, or your mobility device of choice.)

She has been staring at me like this for over an hour.


Was out most of the morning and she has been staring at me since I woke up from a nap. I have no idea what she wants.

I feel pressured.

A court yard (Calle dell Angelo a San Martino), Venice, Italy between ca. 1890 and ca. 1900. Views of architecture and other sites in Italy Italy Venice

#CalledellAngelo #SanMartino #Venice #Italy #Italian #European #NewYork #UniversityHeights #photography #historicalPhotos

loc.gov/pictures/item/20017010…

The image is a photograph depicting an outdoor scene in what appears to be an old Italian city, possibly Venice. There are several individuals present, both standing and sitting. Some people are engaged with textile work, suggesting a traditional craft or trade activity. The buildings surrounding the courtyard have a historical architectural style, with visible signs of age and wear on their facades. The ground is paved with stone tiles typical of European city streets. There's also a watermark at the bottom left corner that reads "The Metropolitan Museum of Art" followed by "New York" and "University Heights," indicating the source and location of the photograph.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has added CATNIP OIL and OIL OF CITRONELLA to its list of *registered*, skin-applied chemicals that repel mosquitoes, joining DEET, IR 3535, PMD (oil of lemon eucalyptus), picaridin, and 2-undecanone. Officially, I don't think catnip is registered for use against ticks but there's plenty of web chatter that it works. #mosquitoes #repellent #ticks #epa #nature epa.gov/insect-repellents/skin…

Just a note of caution to hikers using catnip oil to deter mosquitoes and ticks: the primary active ingredient, nepetalactone, attracts cats, including mountain lions. So opt for a different repellent or hike with somebody who is a slow runner. #cats #catnip #nepata #MountainLion coloradohistoricnewspapers.org…

That's a headline of the day right there.

#mastodaoine #cork

The image shows a newspaper headline that reads: **"Flute teacher claims he was penalised for whistleblowing"** Below the headline, there is a byline with the name **Stephen Bourke**. The article begins by explaining that a music teacher at a state-funded music school alleges the school has been wasting public money. He claims that after raising concerns, he faced penalties as a result of his whistleblowing. The article continues with details related to the situation, mentioning communications to members of the Cork ETB (Education and Training Board) management, including a person named Mr. Leamy, and refers to issues like underutilized hours. The text is partially cut off at the end in the uploaded image.
