Picasso almost ended Dora Maar's career, convincing her, when they were a couple, to quit photography because he was intimidated by her talent.
There is a long list of artists suppressed by the petty hacks of European modernist movements, and a longer list of female innovators erased from public memory. Leonora Carrington and Dorothea Tanning met similar resistance; Andre Breton and Dalí both also being misogynistic megalomaniacs who vanguarded surrealism from women; Henry Miller writing to Anaïs Nin that her stories were garbage and should be disregarded, only for her to discover whole sections copied word for word in his novels years later, all while she financed his existence.
Francoise Gilot finally gets an exhibition after this hack successfully ruined her chances of success as an artist while she lived, and her name is still omitted.
Rebecca Solnit suggests that the fact that the question "what is your mother's maiden name?" is often used for security measures is a meaningful indicator of the extent of women's erasure. What's in a name? A lot. If one's claim of one's own name meant nothing then colonisers wouldn't need to strip them from the colonised, and men wouldn't need to erase them in marriage, from history books and from reportage.
working with Zim Desktop Wiki again, which I was using for years but had to stop because my wiki became too big to be comfortable to use on my old machine.
Right now my more modern machine does seem to work better, but I am looking at my last journal entries from 6 years ago and wonder what I was thinking back then.
what it does have though is a few useful pages from the net I copied in back then and which have gotten lost since then
@beardedtechguy and myself are looking for someone to help us grow #AllThingsTech in every way possible. This includes our blog, our instance, our wiki, our Discord and our community in general.
We're looking for someone that is super active here on Mastodon and will continue to do so going forward.
We're looking for someone that is willing to talk about the instance, advertise the instance and recruit for the instance if possible. (cont...)
We want someone with ideas, thoughts, suggestions and everything similar! We want you to be a part of something awesome and to help make it amazing!
If you feel you are this person and have the time to do things like this, we'd certainly love to have a chat with you. Reach out to myself or @beardedtechguy and let's have a chat!
Après 92 000 km, en dehors de l'entretien habituel (révision et pièces d'usure), pas de soucis en dehors d'un petit problème de bascule en GPL quand le moteur est au ralenti.
Hello :fediverse: … I am testing out a beta comment system integrated into my wiki. Add a comment to my latest music release Trois Esquisses by adding a comment to this post
Okay, I have settled on #MediaWiki for hosting my campaign setting.
I am curious, though - is there any good MediaWiki extension for displaying zoomable images?
I'm not looking for a full-fledged GIS system or anything like that - I just want to use a single, oversized map image which is too large to fit on a single screen, but where people could zoom in and out and pan with simple mouse movements.
(If it is compatible with Image Maps, it would be a definite plus.) #wiki#wikipedia
what are some of our favorite tools for screen recording training presentations for #cms like #drupal and #wordpress ?
I'm finding recorded #zoom screen sharing sessions to be ineffective, and I want to start cranking out short lessons and how-tos on a regular basis for adding to the #wiki
Essential features will be mouse click indicators, various visual aids, and anything that might make the recording and editing process easier.
Can anyone recommend a Free Code platform for collaborative authoring?
I'd like to be able to write a book in a sort of wiki - with a wiki page for each book page - which trusted contributors can edit. Plus an ability for anyone to comment on each page, using an account on the platform.
Bonus points if the WIP is federated over ActivityPub, and people can use their fediverse accounts to comment. Allowing a broad range of contributions while using fediverse moderation tools to reduce noise.
The #AngloSaxon capitalist model ruined earth for humanity and many other species. #BigOil has been its undertaker, b/c #BigOilKnew.
If capitalism hadn't made the #GreenRevolution possible, human society would already have reached the #overshoot (1) point at the end of the last century:
In 1968, the #biologists Paul and Anne #Ehrlich wrote the book The #PopulationBomb"...
B/C I'd argue that it was chiefly developed in the UK and the US, e.g. #Wiki:
"Capitalism in its modern form emerged from agrarianism in England, as well as mercantilist practices by European countries between the 16th and 18th centuries. The Industrial Revolution of the 18th century [which started in the UK] established capitalism as a dominant mode of production, characterized by factory work and a complex division of labor...became more regulated...
