Picture of a panel in a conference center. There is a dias with a black curtain at the front, and a gray podium. Behind the dias sits Carmen Maria Machado, a fair-skinned femme wearing glasses with dark hair, Umair Kazi, a brown masc with dark hair, Alex Hanna, a brown butch trans woman with short brown hair, and Vauhini Vara, a brown woman with long black hair wearing a red blouse.

There were 250 people in the audience, at the biggest available room for our #awp26 panel, Resisting AI in Writing and Teaching.

It was invigorating; hearing about how writing instructors are pushing back against their institutions was inspiring. Thanks to my co-panelists Carmen and Umair.

I meant to say that I tried talking a little tiny bit about the prosody but I think it made things worse

Not sure my students like Horace 1.5 as much as I hoped they would :/

Repatriation and cultural sensitivity/ respect I can sympathise with, but Disneyfication… not so much.

Music, rhymes and songs are so helpful!

I’ve not seen Pottery Throwdown, which is silly really because the Siobhán + pottery combo is ideal for me

I might steal that!

Enjoyed the Irish culture, Siobhán’s evil vamp Pierrot costumes and Paudie’s commitment to saying as much as possible.

Oyin in Traitors Ireland is amazing, a regal clairvoyant in a fantastic pincer movement with Vanessa.

I’m thinking a sheep for the imperfect

Do we think my students will remember the formation of the Latin pluperfect indicative if it is accompanied by a picture of Taylor Swift Eras tour?

This does sound interesting! My food-related listening is normally either Off Menu or critiques of Wellness, but I will look it up!

I mean I thought it probably was but I guess it could have been fresco. What happened to the statue?

Haha! What were you searching to find this 2 year-old post?

This is only true if the first set IMO. Once that’s out of the way they magically transform into something fun and cool.

STUDYING CLASSICS AT UNIVERSITY - OF GODS AND WOMEN IN THE ANCIENT WORLD A University Taster Day of mini lectures and interactive experiences for school students.

We have the next RHUL Studying Classics at University on 2nd July (not June, sorry!) and it's titled 'Of Gods and Women in the Ancient World'! Do pass on to any sixth formers of your acquaintance who might be interested.

Don’t we all at times?

Had a lovely time speaking to classics and English students at St Grammar School today about imagined invasions, Greek, Roman and Egyptian antiquity and Victorian and Edwardian performance. Had the pleasure of answering some brilliant questions!

This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby The creator of Nearby Glasses made the app after reading 404 Media's coverage of how people are using Meta's Ray-Bans smartglasses to film people without their knowledge or consent. “I consider it to ...

This is cool as hell: An app designed to ping people about nearby smartglasses.

Also cool: The creator was inspired by @404media.co coverage, a great illustration of why their journalism is so essential. This kind of work is funded by paid subscribers so become one of those if you can.

Thank you! That looks intriguing

YES to linguistics

That sounds fun!

Any recommendations for podcasts that leave you feeling upbeat? They can be about anything. Can’t seem to shake off the late-Winter blues.

Fascist #slopaganda isn't about seducing anyone. They're aware that their nostalgic images are ugly & fake, and that their promise to return to an imaginary past is a fraud. They're proud of the shallowness of their nostalgia, because their real promise is to legitimize cruelty against others

- my article on Kipling’s Dayspring Mishandled, his entertaining and peculiar account of a Chaucerian forgery, is out now with the Review of English Studies! I absolutely *loved* working on this.

Love that the latest series of What We Do in the Shadows has a nod to The Warriors. This means that it now is not only a reception of the Prometheus myth (Laszlo’s monster) but Xenophon’s Anabasis.
