Physician May Chinn was born 130 years ago today. In 1926 she was the 1st Black woman to graduate from Bellevue, but then spent 14 years looking for a hospital that would allow her full practicing privileges on account of her race, practicing privately until she found a cancer research position. ⚕️

So, happy 120th anniversary of Samuel Beckett’s birth to all who celebrate

Seems a good day to remember that, in his book An Intelligent Person's Guide To Modern Culture, Hungary's favourite right-wing thinker Roger Scruton implied that the Pet Shop Boys made a 'minimal contribution' to their own records. They successfully sued him for libel. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/enterta...

Happy Nashville Skyline Day

He sure is. I especially like his "catenary arc" explorations. And the powerful things with elegiac symbols from (or for) Hart Crane. There's quite a bit of J. Johns in the background of the Ravenna Diagram bks. I mailed him a copy of the 1st volume once (never heard back, not unexpectedly).

Can anyone advise - what are the earliest translations from Irish to English or English to Irish which can be used to help define early meanings of Irish words in English (medieval/ early modern) ? #gaeilge #spéirghorm #bearla #medievalsky
