Leonardo Da Vinci May Have Drawn The First Landscape In European Art

Researchers are constantly iterating and expanding on ideas that came before, which is why replication and reproducibility are so important.

I started binge watching cooking movies on Netflix and I think Francis as a scary, French trained chef trying to create a better kitchen environment from the one he was trained in but sometimes failing is a good daydream journey. Also I think angry chef Francis is scary enough to be intriguing. And that’s all my thoughts on that for now. 

Underground Resistance Groups during World War 2 Were Often Antisemitic

During World War II, partisan groups arose in the forests of eastern Europe. Often small bands, they were desperate people who hoped that by retreating to the forests and keeping their numbers small, they could survive Nazi occupation and potentially use guerrilla warfare to help weaken the Nazis in their area. Most were not Jewish. Most were locals who wanted to resist the occupation of their homelands.

Some number of the groups were Jewish, however. There were many reasons separate Jewish partisan groups arose, but one notable reason was anti-semitism. Jews in non-Jewish partisan groups often hid their religion for fear of their countrymen turning on them.

Norman Salsitz, for example, used seven non-Jewish identities while fighting the Nazis in two partisan groups. At the second and larger one, the AK Polish Underground, a command was given to seek out and kill Jews being hidden on a farm. The AK Polish Underground took time from fighting Nazis to kill Jews hiding from the Nazis. Let that sink in.

Norman Salsitz volunteered for the mission. He killed the Poles who had been sent with him, and rescued the Jews in hiding. He then returned to his first partisan group. It was smaller and less effective, but they did not ask him to murder innocents, for the crime of being Jewish.

Fun fact: At my university (Sapienza, Roma, Italy) we are more women then men studying math.

Come on, BYU. You can do better.

I desperately need the drawing practice, so I’m going to finish this  ೕ(•̀ㅂ•́ )

All right, since nobody is reading this except me, I decided to use this Tumblr in the most random way ever:

I’ll go through the whole alphabet, choosing a food for every letter and writing facts, factoids and so on about it.

And I’ll do it simply ‘cause I can.

I’m ridiculously proud about this project, even if I’ll probably be the only person knowing about it.

P.S.: the food names will be in Italian, since I’m Italian XD (I’m writing in English to practise it)

Questa non me l’aspettavo...

Medieval Japan Was A Great Place To Be Gay

By the 1300s, Japanese samurai had started taking their proteges as lovers. Usually, this was an older man with a younger boy. It was so common that one samurai said, “A young man without a pledged, elder he-lover is likened to a young girl without a fiance.”

Same-age male love was normal, too. A pair of aging male lovers, they said, were like “two old cherry trees still in bloom.”
