Gaslight of the century that we made programming totally inaccessible to huge portions of the population and now we're told that the reason is programming can only emerge from the innate genius of the brilliant few

The best part about being someone who studies women's history in the 1700s is when people tell me that 14 year olds being off limits is a "recent phenomenon", I get to plop down an entire dissertation of reasons why that's wrong AND feel like the 10 years of training to get the phd was 💯 worth it.

This is why I bang on, whenever I can, about the value of having a browseable archive catalogue, and, you know, browsing through it: rather than thinking you can just zap into a specific target.
For the past 10yrs or so I've tried to explain to students how keyword searching trains us to see looking at the world as seeking a known target. By contrast, being in a library, archive, gallery asks us to make a network of connections, questions, possibilities. Which one makes thinking more free?
Seems to me an increasing amount of bad history is based on the idea that you can just keyword search terms (esp. 21st c. terms) to locate origins & relative usage. It's totally unimaginable to these keyword searchers why folks in the past would use diff terms or not mention common practice at all.

I couldn't get on Bluesky on a better day. Absolutely smashing first day in Southampton. #GlobalAusten250
Because human beings can’t bear too much reality (or conferencing) I checked out of the middle panel and found a cafe that did a passable flat white and a cookie the size of my head! Then had a chat with @chiaracodeca.bsky.social about translating P&P and Mansfield Park into Italian
