The pod episode is a great way for me to introduce the topic - I’ll be sharing it with my Year 12s (their coursework is causes of the civil war) and then they can deep dive into reading. Ordering Jon’s books for the school library first thing in September!

Bluesky is great, but what I really miss is what #TeacherTwitter used to be! Is it still out there? #HistoryTeacher #PoliticsTeacher #Teaching #UKteaching #KS3 #KS4 #KS5 #GCSE #AQA #Alevel #learning #pedagogy #resources #curriculum #teach

Thank you to the brilliant @emmasouthon.bsky.social for recommending @gregjenner.bsky.social You’re Dead to Me and @jonathanhealey.bsky.social new book. That’s my summer reading sorted on causes of the civil war for my Alevel history students.

Beautiful Musica Deo Sacra Matins service at Tewkesbury Abbey yesterday, with a sunbeam streaming through.
I also thought, Margaret of Anjou was here! In 1471 a defeated Somerset & some Lancastrians sought Sanctuary here, but it was broken by the Yorkists. The abbey was purified & reconsecrated

Palestinian statehood is not a bargaining chip.

Free stuff!

My last day at the educake office, so I obvs was a total tourist. Ta’ra a bit Oxford (and can you be a classicist and not go to the Loebs in Blackwells??)

He managed to say farewell and raised millions for charities that will help the people of Birmingham. Ozzy, ta’ra a bit bab #ozzy

Also, to my fellow #classicists in the normal 9-5 world, it’s never too late to come back to our research. I’ve been working on versions of my #CA2025 paper since 2017 (the world keeps giving me more populist material…) but here’s proof that we’re still academics even if we’re outside of academia

History Festival 2025 | Saturday 19 July - Southwark Cathedral Join us for the second day of our first History Festival featuring talks, tours and demonstrations

Love history? Near London? This Friday & Saturday there are two days of talks by great historians at @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social — my children & families event is on Saturday at 10.30am. I’m talking about the chaotic mess of Roman Britain

The secret court that silenced the News Agents...until now Video | Global Player For nearly two years the government has taken The News Agents and other journalists to a secret court to prevent us from reporting a story of huge public interest.

“A catastrophic data breach.”

For two years, the government took The News Agents to court over a leaked MOD document - under a super injunction.

Now it’s lifted.

@lewisgoodall.com reports on the hidden court that tried to silence us.

Thank you to everyone who came to my #CA2025 talk on the reception of Demosthenes’ use of identity, the past and parrhesia in modern populist discourse! It was brilliant to receive such positive feedback and engaging questions! Huge thanks to the brilliant @lottieparkyn.bsky.social for capturing it

It was a brilliant paper, especially as I’m part Polish too! It was my favourite panel of the conference - esp the importance of not only recognising how Augustus was being used in 20th C, but made me realise we should be alert to how the past is being reclaimed again today by politicians.

May you find someone who gazes at you like I do a statue of Demosthenes or a map of the Ancient Greek World (thank you @lottieparkyn.bsky.social for capturing!)

Good morning from ‘A Declaration of Classics: Classical Reception under Fascism’ panel at #CA2025

Ready for #CA2025 this weekend! See you on Saturday St Andrews! #AncientAthens #Demosthenes #Identity #Rhetoric #Politics

I’ll be there Saturday!

So excited that #Cylla is opening in #Brum this month! The food looks divine and a cocktail list that includes: Hermes Highball, Ambrosia’s Kiss, Circe’s Spell, Elysian Fields, Polyphemus Punch - I’m am one happy Classicist (who loves her #Greek food). #ModernGreekDining

Excited to be presenting on the Reception III panel at #CA2025 conference this weekend in St Andrews on #Demosthenes. If you’re there, please come and say hi! See you at the ceilidh ca2025.wp.st-andrews.ac.uk/programme/se... #ClassicalAssociation

Well the list is an embarrassment to our discipline today. @luxmea.bsky.social your courage and resilience in the face of close-minded criticism is respected by many of us

Here’s Flo in a heatwave with her little ice cube
