My linocut portrait of Emmy Noether in front of a blackboard with diagrams and equations. Noether is printed in blue. She has her hair up and wears a pin-striped buttoned shirt with puffy sleeves, bow tie, tweed skirt with belt and is shown from waist up, turned slightly away from the viewer. The blackboard is green and shows a simple form of Noether’s equations at the top. On the left are three diagrams to represent translational symmetry (a frame of reference or 3 orthogonal axes and a straight diagonal arrow to a second frame of reference); rotational symmetry (a frame of reference and curved arrow to a second rotated frame of reference); and time symmetry (two simple clocks with an arrow between them and their hands at different places). On the right are the three associated conserved quantities: momentum (a p with arrow above it); angular momentum (an L with arrow above it); and energy (E).

Happy birthday to one of greatest mathematicians of all time Emmy Noether (1882-1935), here with her eponymous theorem, the backbone of modern physics. 🧪🐡👩‍🔬🧮 #histsci Noether's theorem links any symmetry of a system with a conservation law. In my portrait, I chose to depict a young Emmy in front 🧵1/n

Curious if Kandiaronk is on your radar? (having heard of him from the David Graeber book)

Hegel, or Ethics of Ambiguity (assuming contextualization as part of it)

@askhistorians.bsky.social have you considered having a [Answered] post flair or is there a way to filter on questions that have been answered? I assume the weekly highlights are not comprehensive?

It's not faux-savvy analysis. "Democrats" qua politicians have a duty to win elections in 2026 and 2028. Of all the things they could resist it should have concrete harms for Americans and be something they can win (at least the news cycle on).

I know. I hope its a whole subsection in bookstores. We need it

My new favorite sci-fi book is Half-Built Garden in the solar/hope punk sub-genre

I'm liking #ThePitt but what kind of sadistic show leaves the cliffhanger as "Will the doctor ever get to pee"

Just read _A Half-Built Garden_ by Ruthana Emrys and 1. Read it now and 2. If "Hope punk" isn't a large subsection of sci-fi in most bookstores in a few years then we're all doing something wrong

I support your jokes. Just FYI, bronze age ended in 1177 BC or so, pre-bronze would be around 4000 BC

Where do I see your contraption? I think I need to (re)learn bsky -- things have evolved quickly!

Yes, that's what local view is in mastodon

No, that's exactly what I want!

Nice -- it's like a mastodon instance local view.

I haven't looked at the capabilities too much but I'd love a tagger that labels accounts as low/high posting rates and some way to look at all the low-frequency posters (maybe minus reposts)

I really loved Edward Norton's performance in A Complete Unknown. He's just _so_ understated and folksy, but there's something so raw in his desire to use folk music to change the world.

Ed Norton did a great job of making Pete Seeger a real person instead of the ethereal character I feel Seeger acted as even in closer quarters and that grounded the movie -- Norton with Fanning are sort of the audience proxies together

But he spent more time and more songs on civil rights and it's not like he hated Blowin in the Wind two minutes after he wrote it, but the time compression doesn't have time to give that period enough air

I'd co-sign this. An excellent 'impressionist' movie.
I think the one thing I'd add is that, though they didn't have time to do it justice, they kind of skip over some of Dylan's authentic engagement w peace/civil rights Folk scene. In the movie he's just performing the songs

Milk chocolate or dark? The answer could affect your risk of diabetes. A large new study compared the health outcomes linked to consuming dark chocolate vs. milk chocolate.

Amazing #askhistorians answer about non-violent movements. Obviously history has a lot of factors but this answered more deeply than I expected was possible

I loved these books and also his Fireball series
