This frieze from Fulton County, Georgia shows "Medicine's battle with Death." Note the rod with two snakes. Many mistake it for the Rod of Asclepius (the traditional symbol of healing). However, this is the Caduceus, symbol of commerce. A common error in the USA.

“Often forgotten are the Japanese Americans who lived in Hawaii and were also forced from their homes and imprisoned in Hawaii and on the U.S. mainland.
Their forced relocation and incarceration has been largely omitted from the dominant narrative of Japanese American internment in the U.S. during World War II.”

Tomorrow is #InternationalWomensDay and I want something about an #AngloSaxon saint (some of you will know how much I love them).

I have lots of obscure saints to pick from but then I think, maybe I should go for someone more well known? However, my true love are unattested and local saints, they're always so interesting and magical,

I have so many that I love, I just can't decide.

So here is a little poll, to see what you guys think. Please pass it around

L’imagination débordante des #Français à l’égard du #Québec n’est pas nouvelle. Voici un "Tramway à patins," paru dans le journal parisien le Nouveau-Monde (1883). Si l’on a cru à #Paris, on n’en a jamais vu la trace à #Montréal. #histodons #histoire @histodons

Gravure dont le titre est Tramway à patins. Tiré par un cheval, le tramway a 8 fenêtres (tel un ancien autobus de la ville), une cheminée, 4 patins et un conducteur. Il y a également un homme qui l'approche et un autre accroché en arrière. Tout le monde est vêtu de grands manteaux et de bonnets.

So, I am asking the #Medieval #Histodons community, because I am still not giving up on my storytelling wish-upon-a-star:

Does anyone know anything about Girart D'Amiens' "Escanor" maybe maybe getting an English (or Spanish, or Hungarian) translation?...
🥺 🙏
