The schizophrenia of the UK higher education system: turned into a market geared towards exploiting (literally) international students by a government that now does not want international students, viewed as migrants.

📍 215 Main
📸 Frank Schlueter
Built in 1910, the South Texas National Bank was originally located at 215 Main Street.
Even though it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the building was demolished in 1983 for parking.

Hey @histodons, I have a puzzle for you. I'm looking at a payroll register from a cotton mill in 1867 and can't figure out what the columns signify. They're unlabeled. The center column makes sense as amount of money earned, and you'd expect the two to the left to be # of hours worked and rate of pay. But there's no way to combine cols. 1 and 2 in such a way that you get the values in col. 3. Also, the writer uses both superscripts (e.g., 26²) and dashes. I'm stumped.
Fake Venisom (c. 1450)(
98 If you would make venison out of beef, take roastable (pratig) (meat) and chop it raw, add eggs, and shape long balls the size of a piece of meat. Let them boil in water in a pan and then prepare a good pepper sauce (pfefferlein) to go over them, or a ziseindel sauce, or a good prülein.

Bobby Leach was the second person to survive going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, which he did in 1911.
Then in 1926 in New Zealand, while on a publicity tour, he slipped on an orange peel, hurting his leg. It became infected & was amputated. He died two months later.

A well known poignant poem from Countee:
“Incident”
Once riding in old Baltimore,
Heart-filled, head-filled with glee,
I saw a Baltimorean
Keep looking straight at me.
Now I was eight and very small,
And he was no whit bigger,
And so I smiled, but he poked out
His tongue, and called me, “Nigger.”
I saw the whole of Baltimore
From May until December;
Of all the things that happened there
That’s all that I remember.

Countee Cullen would be 120 years old in a few days. Not as well known as poets like Langston Hughes, Cullen was an intimate and prominent participant in the Harlem Renaissance. His verses explored themes of identity, race, and cultural heritage, and challenged the prevailing societal norms of the time. He had an elegant craftsmanship that went a long way toward elevating the status of Black American poetry in mainstream literary genres.

The 16th and 17th centuries constituted a period of drastic change in the way humanity conceptualized and sought to understand the world. Scholars made massive leaps in fields such as mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, and, perhaps most notably, physics.

#OnThisDay in #history - in 1199, John "Lackland" became king of #England after the death of his elder brother, Richard I.
Richard had named John as his heir, skipping over his nephew Arthur (as the boy was only 12 and John was an adult), but Arthur rallied forces to fight against John to take his inheritance.
After being taken captive, Arthur disappeared, like several other English princes, never to be seen again. John ruled until his death in 1216.

#Spain is known for its Islamic heritage. A legacy left after the Islamic Empire ruled & conquered the Iberian peninsula in 711.
By 732, Al-Andalus was established, leaving behind #Europe’s finest Islamic #art collection.
#Architecture and art are inextricably linked in Islamic #culture. Islamic art showed the status of the caliph, and huge sums were spent on its production. This is evident in Andalusia.
Tina found her voice in music, and she used it to speak to the pain and joy of the Black experience in America. She broke down barriers for black artists in rock music, and she became a successful performer and an inspiration.

145 years ago today, the legendary dancer and entertainer, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson was born as Luther Robinson on May 25, 1878, in Richmond, Virginia. Orphaned at a young age, he was raised by his grandmother, Bedilia, who had been enslaved. As a child, he switched first names with his brother because he didn’t like the name, Luther. Later, Robinson earned the nickname "Bojangles" due to his spirited nature.

Anna Elizabeth Dickinson’s speeches showcased intellectual rigor, as she employed logical reasoning and evidence to support her calls for equality and justice. Indeed, in her prime, she was considered the equal of the great Frederick Douglass. And she, like he, actively influenced and shaped the discourse surrounding the abolition of slavery. She died at the age of 89 on October 22, 1932 in Goshen, New York.

In an age of the greatest orators, Anna Dickinson was one of the greatest. What made her stand out first and foremost was that, by using metaphors, sharing firsthand accounts, vivid descriptions, and personal anecdotes, that illustrated the horrors of bondage on individuals and families, she HUMANIZED the enslaved.

Born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania on October 28, 1842, the abolitionist orator Anna Elizabeth Dickinson was rhetorically brilliant. She gave powerful speeches that vividly described the horrors of slavery, giving a voice to the suffering endured by the enslaved. She was without fear when she challenged politicians by urging them to take IMMEDIATE action against slavery at a time when women were relegated to “female matters” in the home.
