I'm collecting weird ghost stories listeners have heard for a podcast episode! It must be a story someone told YOU about somewhere that you were (NOT personal experiences). Think ghosts at your school, monsters in the woods, or apparently haunted shops. Drop yours here: forms.gle/WzXyGZLoe8iL...

Very interested in the new commentary on Ovid's Heroides! Will sadly be missing the talk as I am flying on the 15th, but sharing for those who may be interested in it!

I needed this today 🙌🏾

I am!! It took me a while to find you!

It’s official. My last day of employment is August 2 (Saturday). I am still looking for anything, but my skills are in #archaeology (🏺), #gaming and #games, #publishing (#academia), adventure tourism and science expeditions (safety and logistics), and I’d be a fucking great professor.

With my Viva coming up in a few months, I'll be turning back to the thesis soon. If anyone has advice on Vivas, post-PhD work, and how to cope after a PhD, I'd be very grateful! 😅

I submitted my PhD thesis for examination last month at @edinclassics.bsky.social and I'm still recovering! What an amazing, fulfilling and challenging experience which was incredibly emotional at times. I'm grateful to everyone who helped me through it - supervisors, mentors, friends, family...

EP 266: The Devil’s Marriage (Fortier) Listen Here Watch Here THE DEVIL’S MARRIAGE Once there was a pretty young girl, but she was very proud, and every time the young men came to court her, she found a pretext to send them away. One was too small, another was too tall, another had red hair; in short, she refused all her suitors. One day her mother said to her: “ My daughter, you see that tall, tall tree in the middle of the river?

I'm going on a podcast this weekend to discuss being a classicist with ADHD, and how it informs my study of the emperor Julian. So now I'm revisiting a piece I had written on the subject for the website Asterion a few years ago.

True. I never had the motivation to watch beyond the trilogy but your presentation has intrigued me 😂

I actually haven't watched anything beyond the original trilogy.

Sounds like the best kind of research! And thank you! Malta has been lovely - wish you were here with us. I'll be leaving back tomorrow and sadly missing the group outing to the museum. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on historical/mythical films - you had some fantastic points.

I really enjoyed your paper! Really good research.

It was great to present at the AMPRAW conference hosted by the Malta Classics Association! I had a wonderful time in the beautiful city of Malta and deeply enjoyed everyone's presentations. With this and the AIMS conference over, I better get back to typing up my thesis! 👀 (thanks to MCA for the 📷)

People are talking about echo chambers again, so here's my model. 🧵

There are three groups of people.
1. People we agree with (Enjoy them.)
2. People we can have interesting disagreements with (Learn from them.)
3. Bad people with bad views (Mute or block them with gay abandon.)

Ahhh, well, I still look forward to it! Thank you! I can't wait to hear yours!

Just realised that we're both doing this! Looking forward to meeting you in person (I hope!)😁

I love how it infiltrates every corner. It's like the Vashta Nerada! Minus the flesh eating part.

This is sooo good! But also...is it really 15 years???? Holy apple of Eden

I can watch it over and over again!
