A sticker on a green water bottle which features Remus and Romulus suckling from their adoptive wolf mother which says “adopt don’t shop”

The best thing about having a cricut is my ability to now make the dumbest stickers I can think of for my water bottle

A Lino cut print of Lupa nursing Romulus and Remus with the caption “adopt don’t shop”

I decided to learn how to do Lino block printing and this is my first effort. She’s a little rustic but I’m pretty proud of her.

Cover of a zine titled “senatus populusque remanus: the other twin wins” which presents an alternate world where Remus triumphed over his brother Romulus. The wolf is suckling the young twins.

I made a zine about what I thought the world might be like if it was Reme instead of Rome. You can read it here: gememberthat.itch.io/spqr
(This is just for a bit please don’t take my masters away)

I knew I was correct

Wishing a happy birthday to my favourite Pisces (other than myself) Ovid.

Shout out to @davidrafferty.bsky.social for promoting me so I don’t have to ❤️

(I am quite proud of these though)

I am determined to make these into stickers that only me and four other nerds will enjoy

If there’s one thing I can do it’s make a bunch of niche South Australian references and I think that’s very funny of me.

Is there a series of SA Amphorae niche bits? Maybe…

A”tour” poster advertising Ovid’s exile to Tomis as the “Carmen et Errors Tour” digital artwork by Gemma Neall

I gave my paper on Ovid’s exile works at #ASCS46 yesterday. This is a dumb piece of artwork I made for it that I am highkey v proud of

And another one! @circa-candace.bsky.social gave an incredible paper on the Kerameikos exhibit at the Chau Chak Wing Museum - absolutely going to check that out when I’m in Sydney next week!

I took this picture of Wilfred tonight and I think I need to paint it..

Keep an eye out for some very exciting events in 2025!

My poor old laptop seems to be properly struggling now. The ol' boy has seen me through an undergrad, honours and mphil. He needs to rest.

Ohh interesting! I’ve always thought that Taylor Swift should do an Ovid album myself - she has the right energy for it

Me back in the Met reading group bringing EVERYTHING back to the exile poetry

Talking about Ovid and elegy are some of my favourite things to do and if you also love to do that and are living it up down under @shona22.bsky.social and I wanna hear from you!

Those last few lines really take my breath away in both Ovid and McCarter’s translation. Just beautiful

I’m so excited for this!! Hoping that it will be in hybrid format so I can come along!

I’ve sent you an email!

Do you think he’d be interested in having a chat with me? I’d to learn more about the format that might take

So excited for @chelschwartz.bsky.social ! She gave a great talk and it was awesome to watch her do so well

Out of interest, has anyone on here done or knows anyone who has done a combined classics and creative practice PhD? I’ve got thoughts…
