On this day in 1822, revolutionary Denmark Vesey planned a slave revolt to take place in South Carolina, intending for thousands of slaves to kill their masters and sail to Haiti; instead, he was betrayed by slaves and executed.

Denmark Vesey (c. 1767 - 1822) was a literate, skilled carpenter and community leader among in Charleston, South Carolina. Likely born into slavery in St. Thomas, Vesey was enslaved by Captain Joseph Vesey in Bermuda.

At the age of 32, he won a lottery and bought his freedom, but was unable to buy the freedom of his wife and children. In 1818 he co-founded an African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregation in the city, which enjoyed the support of local white clergy. The church attracted 1,848 members, making it the second-largest AME congregation in the nation.

Vesey reportedly began planning the insurrection to take place on Bastille Day, July 14th, 1822, a date notable for its association with the French Revolution, whose victors had abolished slavery in Saint-Domingue.

News of the plan was said to be spread among thousands of black people throughout Charleston and for tens of miles through plantations along the Carolina coast. Two slaves opposed to Vesey's scheme, George Wilson and Joe LaRoche, gave the first specific testimony about a coming uprising to Charleston officials, saying an uprising was planned for July 14th.

In June, Vesey was formally accused of being the leader in "the rising". He was convicted and quickly executed on July 2nd.

In the aftermath of Vesey's and others' convictions, authorities blamed "black religion" for contributing to the uprising, noting Vesey's role in the AME church.

The reverend of the church was driven out of the state. Charleston officials ordered the large congregation to be dispersed and the church building to be razed. No black church officially met in Charleston until after the Civil War.

It's so fucked when you meet an "Of [Some place]" in real life. Like you fuckers were supposed to have died out, even the royal family doesn't pull that shit any more.

Its not enough that elsevier sits like a fucking dragon hoarding information and preventing any legitimate use of it, while allowing and engaging in commercial scraping of the same data for generative AI use. All their tools don't fucking work.

if you text message someone and then block their number immediately afterwards, can you unblock them in a couple days and see any messages they sent you in the interim?

I'm kinda being pressed into contacting an abusive parent and I'd like the ability to control the resulting anxiety

[–] stink@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 week ago

It does not. Could you try an email instead?

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

I know that doesn't work with my phone and texting (A samsung phone and the default texting service) . It's might depend on the messaging service or specific phone.

::: spoiler Anime Talk

The latest discourse was about anime about this one anime “filtering out the normies” and it’s just about a high school girl who meets a voluptuous graduate student who teaches her about rocks.

But it’s funny following the discussions like “yeah dude, that’s a 24 year old, you’re supposed to be having thoughts about adult women. Great own.”

And it’s not even really fan service, she’s wearing a tucked in shirt and high waisted jeans and acting like a mature person pursuing her higher education. It’s like watching the most depraved people twist themselves into liking a sensible character because she’s stacked—as the kids say. Brave stance, I am being very owner right now.

supes spoiler

Loved how not-israelis fucked themselves over by agreeing with lex plan distract superman. Like congrats instead of just getting relatively unschated because superman is so powerful he doesnt need to hurt anyone to stop wars, you instead get a bunch of superheroes who are far more willing to kill and hurt human soldiers.

I hadn't considered it but you're 100% right about that.

Speaking of this movie,

spoilerIt's definitely 100% about I/P right? I'm seeing people say the script is older than that and obviously the villains are sort of Russia coded, but close US ally using billions in US weapons to invade a country full of civilians surrounded by fence? Come on. I'm seeing that Gunn is saying it's not intended as an allegory for Israel but it's hard not to read it that way. Is that just an excuse to keep political complaints away?

[–] Goblinmancer@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

spoilerJimmy also said lex luthor wants to build a "techno utopia" that resembles trump rambling about how he wants to make Gaza trumpland.

Either way regardless of Gunn intentions (i cant read minds), seeing r/israel getting mad at it is great

i asked this a while ago but can anyone recommend me a keyboard with a large left control key

i am currently using the logitech washable but mine is really old: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Washable-Wired-Keyboard-K310/dp/B008D1JRIO

i don't care about rgb or mechanical

If you aren't going mechanical and do not care about lighting, there is very little to diffrentiate keyboards. I would go thrifting in your position, if possible.

Got to play beach volleyball for the first time in years today. What an incredible sport. Wish I could play every day.

Being a socdem makes you a tankie [Mitterrand was a French President for context]

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Its true that mitterand, being a pre 1990s social democrat with historic ties to two separate explicitly anti communist organisations would be called a tankie by today's standards.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

These people have literally zero conception of historical processes. This is the president who is most famous for presiding over the period where the French Communists were completely dismantled and their membership transmuted into the Capital-friendly European Socialists we know today, but they are only capable of conceiving of the things he did in a contextless bubble.

I know life sucks and the world is miserable and all... but is anyone else obsessed with Aja this season of Drag Race All Stars? I have been thinking about her lip sync from the first episode for weeks. I'm living for her, Bosco, and Irene (and to a lesser extent Ginger and Lydia).
