#IMC2025 was off to a fantastic start today! We are always excited to see our authors and contributors. Here we pictured Gendered Punishments in Medieval Nordic Law, ca. 1100–1300 by Helle Vogt, Mia Korpiola, Else Mundal & Miriam Jensen Tveit. https://t.co/QLI0PKX0Vz

TV/movies tell us they looked like dollar-store biker gangs, wearing black leather, covered in dirt and allergic to colours... but in reality... they looked like 1970s pop singers.
Seriously, thread time.🧵

Tesla is not the first international corporation trying to suppress unionization in the Nordics.
In 2015 RyanAir tried to open routes out of Copenhagen, and their CEO mocked the unions demanding an agreement. In the end RyanAir succumbed to strikes and solidarity actions, and negotiated a CBA.
Elon Musk will learn the same lesson❤️✊🏼
