This could be humorous… but it’s actually tragic.

Sydney Solis interviews Japan specialist Steve McCarty during her most recent sojourn in #Japan. He summarizes a #legend of a #woman #diver and explains its ancient #history, wholly based on original source research in #Japanese. Then both authors interpret its rich #symbolism in terms of depth #psychology. Among their conclusions is that #archetypes in the story, such as the #divine #feminine, activated by the natural #symbolism of #diving into the depths, could help #heal our modern alienation of the #mind from the #body and #nature.

There’s nothing groundbreaking about protesters’ tactics of taking over university buildings or erecting encampments on college lawns.

These students – knowingly or unknowingly – are part of a long history of radical student organizing. There are echoes of both the protests against the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s and more recently, of South African apartheid in the 1980s.

Calls for divestment from apartheid South Africa gave today’s pro-Palestinian student activists a blueprint to follow

In the 1980s, university administrators called the police on anti-apartheid protesters, threatened to revoke their scholarships and ordered staff to demolish encampments.

How do you get cargo and supplies to a shoreline where there are no ports or piers?

That’s the problem the relief effort faced in Gaza, and one that military forces and humanitarian groups have faced countless times in #history.
During World War 2, a navy engineer figured out a solution, using this model of cigar boxes as the prototype to show how a steel pontoon causeway could be made.

Wow,
As a fan of both Isotype and Marie Neurath’s work and Herbert Bayer’s World geo-graphic atlas it is a bit weird and disappointing to read how the latter plagiarized the former! Article from 2017 by Eric Kindel.

George Monbiot says: "Trashing the planet and hiding the money isn’t a perversion of capitalism – it *is* capitalism."

How a British military march became the distinctive sound of American graduations

For Brits, ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ evokes nostalgia for a vanished, golden age. But Americans experience it as a stirring sendoff into a hopeful future.

"Every so often, a cause ignites a sustained fury on college campuses across the nation. In 2020, it was Black Lives Matter. In 2011, it was Occupy Wall Street. In the 1980s, it was apartheid in South Africa.

Today, it’s the Israeli military campaign in Gaza."

Here are five books that shine light on a rich history of campus protests in the US that goes back to the 1960s – compiled by veteran journalist Steve Friess.

Pioneering geologist & oceanographer Marie Tharp changed our understanding of the ocean.

When Tharp sought a geology job at Columbia in 1948, women couldn’t go on research ships. So she was hired to assist male grad students.

Back then, many scientists still assumed the bottom of the ocean was featureless. Tharp figured out how to use data to create sketches of the ocean floor. Her hand-drawn maps helped develop plate tectonic theory. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/marie-tharp #science #history
