#OnThisDay, 1 Oct 1553, Mary Tudor is crowned Queen of England: the first queen of England to get as far as a coronation and to rule in her own name.
During her reign, 280 religious dissenters were burned at the stake by her order, earning her the nickname ‘bloody Mary’ by her Protestant opponents.
We’ve written about her predecessor and why Mary may have signed her death warrant: https://carvehername.org.uk/lady-jane-grey-history-a-tudor-succession/

@CarveHerName Here’s some background on the #FieldsMedal , named after mathematics professor John Charles Fields who is buried on the campus of #McMasterU in Hamilton, #Canada. http://www.sitnews.us/MacDougall/082806_macdougall.html
Was there a particular woman in #science who spurred the animosity between chemist Alfred #Nobel and Fields’ Swedish friend and fellow mathematics professor Gösta Mittag-Leffler that indirectly led to the Fields Medal itself? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gösta_Mittag-Leffler

@CarveHerName A source for the words by #SojournerTruth
(spoken at the First Annual Meeting of the American Equal Rights
Association - May 9, 1867):> I feel that if I have to answer for the deeds done in my body just as
> much as a man, I have a right to have just as much as a man. There is
> a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word
> about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not
> colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the
> women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. -

There doesn't seem to be any work going on on the categorisation of hashtags just simplistic things like most popular lists.
I would like to see that kind of work happening.
When using hashtags you should boost the posting to get it cross-posted to other instances.The more consistent you are with your hashtags the more likely that they'll be used by others.

This is quite an interesting article about #HattieMcDaniel.
i remember a school outing to a cinema in the city (Naarm) to see #GoneWithTheWind. as a catholic schoolgirl in the 60s i was clueless about a lot of things, had no great idea what the story was about and most of what i remember is that i was bored witless.
in later years, i did come to wonder about McDaniel’s participation in and poor treatment in such a crap industry.a parallel oscar story must surely be that of Octavia Spencer, best supporting actress winner for the 2011 film, #TheHelp. it’s a problematic film on lots of levels (white saviourism, for starters).
I think i read somewhere that magazines re-write themselves every four years, cos there is a fixed number of topics/angles to explore. Don’t know what the cycle length is for film, but even white-ish movies like the help provide a service; they present each succeeding generation of mainly white audiences with a dose of truth they are unlikely to encounter elsewhere, and the help introduced people to the Jim Crow era all over again (as well as the economic class known as white trash, and the subservience of women generally).
the help is mediocre and cringeworthy at times, but there were some knockout performances. Viola Davis was robbed - she deserved a best actress oscar for this, and Jessica Chastain should have got best supporting actress. the film has lots of cringeworthy moments, but giving the oscar to octavia spencer for playing a likeable maid who helped the poor white lady was the worst, just on principle. (None of this is to criticise Octavia Spencer or her performance, it’s just the oscar politics I’m on about here.)anyway, there are worse things in the world…
