Om några timmar vet vi om Trump räddade sig undan fängelse, genom att bli USAs 47:e president. Just nu är chansen 50-50. Men hur det än går, fattar du hur fundamentalt Trump & Co har flyttat gränserna? Nej, det fattar du inte. Här en en sorglig tråd som påminnelse. 🧵 >>

This photo was taken in 1958, in a small town in the Canary Islands. The original caption read: "Goat suckling a child in 1958, El Mojon, Teguise, Lanzarote." Throughout history, goats have been used as wet nurses when the mother could not produce milk or hiring a human wet nurse was too expensive. In the 16th century, many mothers rejected wet nurses for fear of infecting their newborn with syphilis. Pierre Brouzet, who was a physician to King Louis the XV, remarked that "some peasants who have no other nurses but ewes, and these peasants were as strong and vigorous as others. In the 1976 book, "American Folk Medicine: A Symposium," author Wayland D. Hand discusses the phenomenon in more detail: "Because milk does not keep well once it is separated from the animal and because the act of suckling was believed to aid digestion in infancy, medical writers beginning in the eighteenth century began to advocate nursing children directly at the udders of goats. Goats were easier to obtain and cheaper than human wet nurses; they were safer from disease and were better in many other respects. Although cows' milk was almost exclusively used in early American infant feeding, William Potts Dewees, who wrote the first American pediatric treatise in 1825, called attention to animal milks and pointed out that the English praised asses' milk; nevertheless, he preferred milk of goats. He then compared the chemical constituents of milk from cows, women, goats, asses, sheep, and mares. In 1816, Conrad A. Zwierlein, after listening to women at a fashionable European resort deploring their difficulties with wet nurses, wrote a book called, 'The Goat as the Best and Most Agreeable Wet Nurse,' which he dedicated to vain and coquettish women, as well as to sick, tender, and weak ones. Goat feeding then became very popular for a while until it was attacked on various grounds and fell into disfavor. In 1879, it was revived in the children's hospitals of Paris, especially for syphilitic infants."

Jag får mail från min 80-årige far, han har i släktforskningen nått ända till Ture Kettilsson (Bielke) som var riddare och riksråd. Född cirka 1237, död cirka 1273. Coolt!

Vad händer frågar Twitter och det undrar jag med. Vad händer med ljudmixen på #Melodifestivalen2023 ? Hör typ bara sång (och flås och handklapp) men inget komp!?!
