On #ThisDayinHistory 1945, a series of Allied firebombing raids begins against the German city of Dresden, reducing the “Florence of the Elbe” to rubble and flames, and killing as many as 135,000 people. It was the single most destructive bombing of the war—including Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and all the more horrendous because little, if anything, was accomplished strategically, since the Germans were already on the verge of surrender. More than 3,400 tons of explosives were dropped on the city by 800 American and British aircraft. The firestorm created by the two days of bombing set the city burning for many more days, littering the streets with charred corpses, including many children. Eight square miles of the city was ruined, and the total body count was between 35,000 and 135,000 (an approximation is all that was possible given that the city was filled with many refugees from farther east). The hospitals that were left standing could not handle the numbers of injured and burned, and mass burials became necessary. Among the American POWs who were in Dresden during the raid was novelist Kurt Vonnegut, who conveyed his experience in his classic antiwar novel Slaughterhouse Five. #Dresden #WWII #History

Being a #monk is hard work! If just a few minutes of hand copying texts can cause hand cramps, imagine doing it for hours every day! That’s what #monks did in the #scriptoria, or writing rooms, inside #medieval #monasteries. But it served an important purpose. At a time when literacy was in serious decline and books were hard to come by, monks played an important role in preserving not only religious but also #secular knowledge, like that of Classical #Greece and #Rome! Thank Medieval Monks!
Let studying be your #SecretFire against the shadow.
Patience in response to ignorance, even unjustifiable ignorance, is truly powerful. Even if you feel a person is blameworthy for their ignorance, even if you feel their injustice and arrogance makes them undeserving of your time, patient teaching is still the only way for them to learn and grow and change. . . Here, Dr King breaks it down simply for an audience of people who have been blind to the obvious and blatant realities of deep racial disparity that was built into the fabric of our society. He puts it so simply, because it really is that simple, but he gets straight to the point. He makes it clear. . . Patience is not passivity. Patience is not surrender. Patience is true strength. . . #Bootstraps #RacialInequality #MLK #PatientPedagogy
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” -MLK . . . Don’t just think of MLK as a famous American hero loved by the nation. It’s only now that he has a national holiday (and some people still don’t like him). It’s important to remember how disliked he was by so many Americans, and how unpopular his views were in his time. And this was not very long ago. Not at all. Those who are vilified and demonized today for standing up for what is right may be the heroes of tomorrow. Depends how it all goes down. Just don’t forget to broaden your perspective. Sit back to look at the whole timeline. The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. #MLKDay #DrKing #KeepDreaming #KeepFighting
#NHS Thank you guys so much for the birthday wishes! I especially appreciated the not one but TWO references to #PewPewPew (seems it still resonates years later) and the observation that I am both hyper and caring, which I consider a most honorable description. Cheers! 🏹 🏹 🏹
