The gist of the #Serbia issue in a thread.

It is not only absurd but also sad to witness how some protesters in #Serbia resort to “šiptari,” the ethnic slur for #Albanians, as an insult against Serbian gendarmerie or Vučić’s hooligans.

It’s out! My translation just dropped in Art in Translation. It's a booklet, published in 1912 & attributed to Ahmed İhsan Bey, a print entrepreneur, author, and translator, on his publishing house & legendary illustrated journal Servet-i Fünun ("Wealth of Sciences") under the Ottoman Empire. 1/3
Snapshot of the first page of my published translation in Art in Translation, featuring the title and the abstract written by Ahmet Ersoy. First page of the translated 1912 booklet, featuring a portrait of Ahmed İhsan Bey alongside the opening lines of the text.

Update: DLC tells us it and its tree contractor Penn Line will each donate $5K to the Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz Memorial Fund, and take additional steps to make it right after they chopped down Miri Rabinowitz's tree without permission.
