Sorry to see schools placed in this situation but very glad Newsom is doing this. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Maybe it's dorky, but I'll introduce myself. I'm a nondisabled university professor who specializes in disability in ancient Greece. I approach this all through the lens of disability studies and critical disability theory, and advocate for disabled students in Classics and Archaeology.

f you want something a bit more niche there's a famous burial monument at Igel, now on the borders of three EU countries. Its reliefs are a key source for the textile industry that flourished there in Roman times. www.eifel.info/en/pois/igel...

So much to see! Love the Landesmuseum although I haven't been for years. Constantine's basilica (if a bit rebuilt), the amphitheatre, bridge, two sets of amazing baths...and of course the Porta Nigra as on your pic!

It's very telling what happens to the comment whenever I write on this subject. Every other week, the comments in my substack are witty, funny and kind. On this topic, they're bitter, vicious, demented.
