Women ignored by Nobel committees: The very topic today in Women's & Gender Studies class. Lise Meitner was one of the examples I used. Gift NYT link to their feature on Meitner.

Lise Meitner, the ‘Atomic Pioneer’ Who Never Won a Nobel Prize - The New York Times
Lise Meitner developed the theory of nuclear fission, the process that enabled the atomic bomb. But her identity — Jewish and a woman — barred her from sharing credit for the discovery, newly translated letters show.

Black Music Project @blackmusicprojectIn 1926, in Ariton, AL, Baptist minister Thomas Thornton and his wife Edna had a daughter named Willie Mae. Willie Mae was well-schooled in #gospel music by her choir-singing mother. But sadly, her mom passed away when Willie Mae was just 12 years old.
#ThreadChallenge {#id:426397#} #blues10:06 AM - May 17, 2023![A BMP infographic features an illustration of a young Black girl walking alone along railroad tracks. She is playing a harmonica and carrying a knapsack. One tear falls down her cheek. The text: In 1926, in the small Delta town of Ariton, Alabama, Reverend Thomas Thornton and his wife Edna welcomed their daughter Willie Mae into the world. Willie Mae was well-schooled in gospel music tradition by her Baptist minister father and choir-singing mother. But sadly, her mom passed away when little Willie Mae was just 12 years old.
Filled with the blues, she left her miserable home situation, hoping to become a singer and performer like her idol, Bessie Smith. Eventually, Willie Mae found work with various gospel, blues, and R&B acts as a singer, harmonica player, and drummer.]()

My response to some "conversations" in bird-land today
1. The right is banning books, not the left. Disliking a book is not banning it. Stop saying it is.
2. We're a democratic republic; our Constitution creates a democratic gov't. Saying "WE'RE A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC" doesn't negate that fact.
