An indigo-based pigment... from an overlooked recipe in a 13th century Arabic text. Fascinating experiments & scholarship from Joumana - & highlighting the digitised manuscript treasures in our libraries!

I'm intrigued by the photo here, highly coloured decoration in the Cistercian monastery of Wienhausen - & the note that in Germany "many medieval artworks have endured not despite, but thanks to the Lutheran Reformation." Upcoming talk:

@ninawillburger I was interested to read that the Romans struggled with the engineering challenges of flood prevention in Rome, and about "an archaeologist whose research explores Roman social and economic interactions with waterways on the Italian Peninsula", James Page: https://bsr.ac.uk/city-of-rome-taming-the-tiber-roman-water-management-in-the-tiber-valley-and-its-impact-on-riparian-communities/

A single story spanning 1000 years of the English language, jumping back 100 years in each section - & then a discussion of the huge changes in the medieval period.

@adfichter@infosec.exchange I absolutely respect a preference to post in any language, & like the multilingual Fediverse... but also appreciate the ability to filter &/or see translations. Thank you!

@umweltrat Thanks for posting a the English summary; I hope it may assist discussion of #NatureRestoration policy in #Singapore #Malaysia & elsewhere... Could you please use the language tag on your posts for readers who may wish to filter? When writing a post, there's a toggle for language (at the bottom, if using the web interface): DE, EN, etc.

@kellogh@hachyderm.io I just rediscovered RSS & apart from feeds which are by design or for me read-only, I'm finding it invaluable to (a) keep track of my must-read people (& click through if I wish to read or join a Fediverse conversation), (b) to index my own posts on Mastodon so that I can relocate them without endless scrolling! (My instance does not yet have search options - & the RSS reader is fast.) @twilliability@genart.social #RSS #Elasticsearch #OpenWeb

@hollowleviathan@mastodon.xyz Thanks for posting that, a remarkable summary by @mmasnick@mastodon.social on this bizarrely incompetent episode from the normally-sensible #FT. Hoping the #BBC can find better paths! https://www.techdirt.com/2023/02/01/financial-times-sets-up-mastodon-server-realizes-laws-exist-which-it-was-already-subject-to-pulls-down-mastodon-server/
