"We designed the Vibrating Ingestible BioElectronic Stimulator (VIBES) pill, an ingestible device that performs luminal vibratory stimulation to activate mechanoreceptors and stroke mucosal receptors, which induces serotonin release and yields a hormonal metabolic response commensurate with a fed state."

"The Invisible Empire was a product of an affective urge to recreate a mythical past based on religious and racial homogeneity, and Klansmen therefore sought to embody a self-proclaimed ideal for what they claimed signified true Americanism. This ideal included notions of patriotism, nativism, white supremacism, and Protestant theology."

Gustaf Forsell (2020) Blood, Cross and Flag: The Influence of Race on Ku Klux Klan Theology in the 1920s, Politics, Religion & Ideology, 21:3, 269-287, DOI: doi.org/10.1080/21567689.2020.

"For some time the Parliamentary leaders were able to resist demands that Christmas should be abolished in England, but it happened that in 1644 Christmas Day fell upon a Wednesday, and the last Wednesday in each month was by law to be kept as a day of solemn fast and penance. The question was whether December 25th should be an exception to the general rule. In deference to the Scots, Parliament decided with evident unwillingness that it should not." historytoday.com/archive/featu

"Bradford’s comments reflected Puritans’ lingering anxiety about the ways that Christmas had been celebrated in England. For generations, the holiday had been an occasion for riotous, sometimes violent behavior. The moralist pamphleteer Phillip Stubbes believed that Christmastime celebrations gave celebrants license “to do what they lust, and to folow what vanitie they will.” He complained about rampant “fooleries” like playing dice and cards and wearing masks." theconversation.com/why-the-pu

"This article argues that the liturgical tradition of celebrating Christmas on 25 December travelled from the Latin West to the Greek East at the behest of Theodosius I upon his arrival in Constantinople in AD 380. From there it made its way to Cappadocia, Pontus and Syrian Antioch by means of travelling clerics who belonged to a pro-Nicene network."

French philologist and orientalist Jean-François Champollion was born #OTD in 1790.

He is known primarily as the decipherer of Egyptian hieroglyphs and a founding figure in the field of Egyptology. In 1822, he was the first to decipher the hieroglyphs inscribed on the Rosetta Stone discovered in Egypt in 1798, paving the way for the understanding of a thousand-year-old civilization. via @wikipedia

"These ancient DNA results reveal a relatively genetically homogeneous population in Peqi’in. We show that the movements of people within the region of the southern Levant were remarkably dynamic, with some populations, such as the one buried at Peqi’in, being formed in part by exogenous influences."

You can download the History of Cartography from the University of Chicago Press, vols. 1-4 and 6 (a total of 8 books).
The project is nearing completion after 40 years (volume 5 is still in preparation).
You do have to download the pdfs by chapter (about 200 total) but do you have anything better to do today?

"This article explores such nuances in conceptions of fatness and thinness by examining the various ways in which bodyweight and size held meaning in the specific context of the Lutheran Reformation. Through a consideration of the bodily resurrection, apocalyptic belief and the form of heavenly bodies, it demonstrates how discussions of weight and fatness were embedded in fundamental debates about sin and salvation."

Holly Fletcher, ‘Belly-Worshippers and Greed-Paunches’: Fatness and the Belly in the Lutheran Reformation, German History, Volume 39, Issue 2, June 2021, Pages 173–200, doi.org/10.1093/gerhis/ghab001 @histodon @histodons
