Has anyone written anything on the way AI accounts on instagram are shaping engagement with the ancient world.

I’ve had multiple run-ins now where I’ve seen people sharing AI artefacts as if they are real and it’s kind of scary?? Like one even I had to check quite a few times.

Once again it’s amazing that the government intervenes about 1,300 jobs at risk at Lotus cars who sold a piffling 12k cars to rich people last year but is happy to let the Higher Education sector with 400,000 employees die on its arse. Labour intervene when MANLY jobs are at risk you see

Hello everyone who studies the ancient world, here is Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Occupied Palestine, calling archaeology the “ideological scaffolding” of apartheid.

Some of us have been trying to say this for years in the face of a discipline that believes itself “apolitical”.

I’m hoping this is my first publication about my darling Hermaphroditus, rather than my only, but regardless it’s been a joy and I’m so so grateful for all the work of Miri and George behind @workingclassicists.bsky.social !

In my first post on this app, I want to share just how happy I am to be a part of this book.

I was only able to access my first steps in Classics through a charitable organisation, later taking it up at Undergrad. So to be able to lend my words to such a fantastic project is a real dream.

Let me tell you a story about George and Miri, who wanted to make the dreams of over 100 classicists and ancient historians come true. They devised a book in which 117 people contributed a section. For the vast majority, this is the first time seeing their name in print, an ambition for so many.
