Milosz writes about Poland during and after WW2.

Going from sovereign country to Nazi invasion to Russian Communism takeover, and the mindf**k it had on citizens.

Every American should read it. All sounds familiar.

Using my highlighter a lot.

**Company-State at Home: The East India Company and the Fiscal System in Eighteenth-Century Britain**

“_This article shows that fiscal capacity was not created only by government bureaucracies: the ‘company-state at home’ model presented here complements the narrative of the ‘fiscal-military state’ by showing that much fiscal revenue from trade was realized through the action of the English East India Company (EIC). Lacking the capacity to enact exhaustive laws, carry out complex calculations, or effectively manage a large bureaucracy, the English state relied on the administrative capacity of the EIC to collect customs on the East Indies trade._”

_“Today, its multisource dataset, currently housed at Rice University, features information on more than 30,000 slaving vessels that traversed the Atlantic between the 16th and 19th centuries. Also documented are details on nearly 221,000 individuals involved with the trans-Atlantic slave trade, including ship captains and the humans they trafficked.”_

**Extreme drought contributed to barbarian invasion of late Roman Britain, tree-ring study reveals**

“_Researchers argue that Picts, Scotti and Saxons took advantage of famine and societal breakdown caused by an extreme period of drought to inflict crushing blows on weakened Roman defences in 367 CE. While Rome eventually restored order, some historians argue that the province never fully recovered._”

**‘The British are coming’ and the outbreak of hostilities during the American Revolutionary War**

“_During the summer of 1776, they defined their objective as total separation and declared independence. Yet declaring independence was very different to actually achieving it. King George III’s government, under Prime Minister Frederick, Lord North regarded their actions as no more than insurrection and remained determined to crush them._”

#TamaraChaplin, historienne : « En s’attaquant aux universités, #DonaldTrump tourne le dos à l’histoire de la démocratie américaine »
La #libertéacadémique aux #EtatsUnis s’est construite depuis le XIXᵉ siècle au service de l’intérêt général de la nation, explique l’universitaire dans un entretien au « Monde ». La professeure d’histoire européenne contemporaine à l’université de l’Illinois, spécialiste du genre, dit l’inquiétude qui a gagné le campus.

I am excited the the Tomb of the Eagles will (hopefully) reopen on Lammas, August 1st. This place is central to the story of Orkney as I know it.

Read the alt texts of the photos above about the #yarn's history. Here you can learn more about the history of this "more glossy than silk" patent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

This #emboidery #floss was a hype since 1905/1910 ... and we can imagine that some of the governesses who had the misfortune to be on board, used it for #embroideries in the luxury rooms of the #Titanic.

#OTD the #Titanic sank in 1912. When I was a very small child, I knew an old woman who narrowly escaped this disaster. As the governess of a US millionaire's children, she was supposed to be travelling on the Titanic. They arrived too late in England and couldn't get tickets.

Shortly before her death, she gave me some old #yarn. I haven't dared to use it to this day because it's like travelling back in #deepTime. 113 years can feel so near.
