Why not take a minute to tell us about someone who makes Classics a nicer place.

Maybe there's someone who said just the right thing to you at just the right time.

That person deserves a bit of recognition, neh?

My first book is out now! "Asexuality in Young Adult Fiction" with Cambridge University Press. 🤍💜🖤

This has only been my dream since I was about 7 years old. Back then, I'd have never believed my debut would be academic non-fiction. 📚

This is so disappointing and frustrating (but does give me an extra kick up the backside to finish my monograph proposal 🥲)

I advise instead (or as well!) reading the excellent piece by @yaelrice.bsky.social and @sonjadrimmer.bsky.social for Hyperallergic hyperallergic.com/604897/how-s...

1) 61cm down is in situ #archaeology.
2) Briefcase of coins = zero context.
3) Museums can't afford it.
4) If it really is all about the history & not £££ then...

a) stop digging
b) donate to a museum
