Fascists Have No Drip, a video about fashion under Fascism (Italy brand) - by a drag artist in a stunning look, which dragged me in... But I stayed for the sources! 19 minutes.

Quotes: "The Italian Fascist Party didn't have to invent misogyny. The anti-feminist backlash in Italy was well underway before the fascists came to power."

"But as the previous quote suggests, Italian Fascism was a cult of male sexuality, one that wanted to ignore women as much as it wanted to subjugate them. When the Fascist Party did give attention to women, it was often to parade them as objects of propaganda."

Good Morning #Canada
On this day in 1776, British forces began the evacuation of Boston to Nova Scotia during the Revolutionary War. At the time, the British empire was at risk of losing all of their North American colonies, and Canada might have joined with the revolting 13 original states. Why didn't that happen? Lots of reasons, but a high percentage of French settlers was key to keeping us loyal to Britain. Merci mon ami.

#OnThisDay, 17 Mar 1964, Joan Merriam Smith set off from Oakland airport in California in an attempt to fly solo around the world. She followed Amelia Earhart’s easterly route from 1937 as far as New Guinea where Earhart had vanished.

Merriam Smith arrived back in Oakland on 12 May 1964, the first pilot to successfully make a solo circumnavigation by the equatorial route.

It comes from a loose coalition of #archivists & #librarians, who are standing athwart #history & yelling “Save!” They belong to organizations such as the #InternetArchive, which co-created a project called the End of Term Web Archive to back up the federal web in 2008; the Environmental Data & Governance Initiative, or #edgi; & #libraries at major #universities such as #MIT & the University of #Michigan.
