Reading one of the many, many books I’ve purchased over the years vs ignoring them entirely and instead borrowing more books to read from the library.

Library books are free so it’s allowed.

Art by flaroh illustration. This scene is of the goddess Artemis approaching the viewer in moonlight, which has backlit her. Behind her is the Cerynitian Hind, Artemis’ pet stag from myth. Artemis has dark skin, black hair, and wears a green tunic. In her hair is a moon diadem and leafy crown

A dark-haired woman, draped in a purple mantle over a green dress, wearing a gold hairnet and hooped gold earrings holds a writing stylus to her lips with her right hand. In her left she holds a four-leafed writing tablet tied with a black thong. She gazes into the middle-distance, deep in thought.

#FrescoFriday - Among the best known images from Pompeii: the so-called 'Sappho' panel. A woman holding a wax tablet raises her stylus to her lips in contemplation. Discovered 17 May 1760 in Insula Occidentalis. #Pompeii #AncientBluesky 🏺

Had a really interesting day at BFI Southbank for an Arts Marketing conference: how to humanise digital marketing in an increasing AI-driven world.

Today I learned that my library colleague is a medievalist, so when we should’ve been discussing web analytics we instead swapped book recommendations and talked about our dissertations, which was very cool.

The BlueSky List of Lists Or, more accurately, the List of Starter Packs (but that just doesn't sound as good, does it?). After discovering that 150 slots is clearly not enough for a full 'Ancient Mediterranean Studies'...

The List of Lists has been updated again - as always, let me know of any others to add! #ClassicsBluesky 🏺#AncientBluesky

Just wanted to share this puttanesca I made for the first time last night (sans capers). Very pleased with myself.

I didn’t think I’d be spending my evening last night researching whales in folklore and myth as part of my *checks notes* marketing job, but here we are (and I now know a lot more about whales) 🐳
