Today was very exciting, despite the torrential downpour this morning. As well as the paper on ritual use of vagina models, I
also got my first ever leads on some possible trans women in pharaonic Egypt.

The weather is properly Biblical in Rome again today. Fortunately everyone at this conference is familiar with Gilgamesh so we can follow the wise example of Utnapishtim.

Excellent thread from @kjcharleswriter.com on the ever-evolving book club scams. The fake websites and Discords I covered in my report last year are now looking even more professional.

I take comfort in the fact that "Reform will close Welsh Universities because of Twitter drama" is actually a campaigning gift to Plaid for the 2026 Senedd Elections in plenty of places.
People work at universities, their kids go to them, and students buy things.

I see that Westminster is going through one of its periodic 'rats leaving a sinking ship' phases. Thankfully I am in Italy and can mostly ignore the drama.

The players (and the coaching crew) can’t help what the team owner does or doesn’t do. But I just feel like putting this out here today.
