“It is widely held, and often repeated, that ancient Britons, and most especially the #Picts, painted or tattooed their bodies with Woad. We all know that, because depictions of the Iron Age or Roman period on television and film nearly always show the indigenous tribespeople painted in 'mystical' blue designs. It seems, however, that the evidence for Woad inspired body art is not as rock solid as one might have hoped.” #history

Thomas Cranmer was the first Protestant archbishop of Canterbury. He helped Henry VIII overthrow papal supremacy in England, annulled Henry’s marriage to Catherine, supported his marriage to Anne Boleyn and then helped him divorce her. Later he guided Edward VI in the Protestant direction and wrote the Forty-two Articles from which the Thirty-nine Articles of Anglican belief were derived. He was executed for heresy by Queen Mary I—Bloody Mary—on 21 March 1556.

In the US, 85+% of the explanation for that is racism. Anything that helps the lower class could help a black person, so the "working class conservative" wants it eliminated, as it could upset the racial caste system that keeps them, in their minds, above black people.
If you need evidence, just look to the history of US domestic policy the last ~80 years. (E.g. what happened with Johnson's Great Society, https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/26595572-american-maelstrom)

In the 18th and 19th century medical students had to resort to grave robbing if they wanted corpses to dissect.
Fortunately, those days are gone but it was due to the thousands of Americans in the 20th century who donated their bodies to science.

@TonyStark Gov. Abbott and his GOP goons in Austin have taken over the Houston Independent School District (HISD). It won't be long before books are banned from school libraries.
As it stands. Abbott has gone on record instructing teachers to refrain from referring to the KKK as "an immoral organization" as if there are no other adjectives to describe this terrorist organization. He also wants "alternative" approaches to the #Holocaust, i.e., Holocaust denial.
Kristina, Queen of Sweden, was born in 1626. She is remembered as the most educated woman of the 17th century & ruled on her own terms.
Preferring the company of men, Kristina had no interest in traditionally feminine roles. She sometimes wore masculine clothing & focused on science, math & philosophy. She refused to marry (scandalous!) & became a patron of the arts.
Kristina decided to abdicate the throne in 1654. https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/abs/cambridge-descartes-lexicon/christina-queen-of-sweden-16261689/2E0538B2CC98623127368DE0ACE5DE02# #history #HistoryRemix

@julescelt01 @bkm Do you who the Freedom Riders were? They didn't use the word the way people used "Freedom fries" because they were mad at the French for not supporting the U.S. in its war against Iraq.

That they braved physical assaults just so people could travel the Interstate without being subject to segregation clearly would justify their use of the word, freedom.

"On a cloudy afternoon in England in 1639, 20-year-old Jeremiah Horrocks became the first person to accurately predict the transit of Venus and measure the distance from the Earth to the sun.

A new play, Horrox, will attempt to reassert Horrocks’s rightful place in history as a British genius who, according to the playwright David Sear, “changed the way we see the universe”."

Happy Saint Patrick's Day! 🍀
As one of the patron saints of Ireland, St. Patrick is said to have prayed away all snakes from Ireland. But did you know that the real St. Patrick wasn't Irish and never saw a snake in his lifetime?
Patrick’s own writings and early accounts of the saint’s career reveal many interesting details about his life in the fifth century.
Get to know the person behind the legend ⬇️
https://theconversation.com/10-things-to-know-about-the-real-st-patrick-92253
St. Patrick is Ireland’s main patron saint but did you know he’s 1 of 3?
A medieval historian makes the case for making Ireland’s only woman patron saint, St. Brigid, Ireland's main saint, who unlike Patrick was born in Ireland.
