I WAS going through and flagging all the items being sold with the "Alligator Alcatraz" stuff on it, then I got angry that Etsy wasn't doing this themselves.

I was on their chat with customer service to complain. Here are the screenshots of what was said. UNBELIEVABLE.

A killer reading list of great books (and personal favorites!) in Roman History to celebrate #InternationalWomen'sDay 2025.

Limited to English (to keep it manageable!) and listed in order of publication.

And today, North Koreans are pouring over the border for the first time.

Americans will never be forgiven for this.

A third user reacted, “Of course, because if there’s one thing Damon’s known for, it’s playing a guy who can’t find his way home whether it's space, earth, or ancient Greece.”

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

I need this shirt because Pliny the Elder would absolutely approve, and I can wear it when I give talks about his Book 8.

In January, I attended the Digital Research Initiative's 5 day workshop at the CUNY Graduate Center.

I wrote a blog post to reflect on what I learned as a Classicist in a digital world. 🤓
