Kiddo off sick today, so have been doing some low-brain tasks - including sorting old notes. I had completely forgotten my efforts to learn Medieval Hebrew @yorkmedieval.bsky.social !

My article on sensory deprivation and the so-called Ploutonian at Eleusis has been published!

This is a deeply personal and vulnerable article - establishing a route into Sensory Archaeology as an Autistic researcher. I’m very proud of it.

#ClassicsBluesky
The Cave of Laughlessness, sensory deprivation, and cognitive depletion at Eleusis*
ABSTRACT. This article explores the intersection of sensory perception, emotional experience, and ritual practice within the ancient Eleusinian Mysteries,

Does anybody have one of those under-desk walking treadmill things? Trying to figure out a way to move more, and just "going for a walk" isn't always possible

Another day, another flare up of terrible skin in kiddo. Likely the only thing he wants to eat at school may be the cause. Just so tired of these allergies 😔

This should be big news.

FT: “Musk has privately discussed with allies how Keir Starmer could be removed as U.K. prime minister before the next general election."

As Politico writes: "Someone should introduce this dude to the guy who accused Labour of “illegally” meddling in a foreign election"

Took kiddo with me to buy new slippers today and learned that if he was picking my clothes and shoes I would be consistently covered in sequins 😅

There're some work things to do. There's some washing up to do. But after three days of worrying about feverish kiddo 24/7, I'm making a hot water bottle and passing out in bed with a book on my face #selfcare
