Digital heritage and virtual realities class in “The Ancient World in Video Games” course went smoothly thanks to the excellent people at the UIUC VR Lab. Not pictured, me hitting the table to pick up the wands.

Just asked my library to purchase One of the Boys by @dirtbagqueer.rocks , Changeover by @girinathan.bsky.social , and Clodia of Rome by @dougboin.bsky.social . Mostly because I want to read them, but maybe someone else will too. Support your local library!

Grading my student journals is going well this morning 😅

Have you gotten through a basic Latin textbook like LLPSI or Wheelock's, but you hit a wall with authentic texts? Tiered readers get you reading real Latin as soon as possible, without poring over lexicons and commentaries ( = working in English, not Latin).

talking about "the turn of the century" and I mean the late 400s and early 300s BCE

Hunting for the verb isn't reading. Translating isn't reading. Parsing isn't reading. Sometimes they're necessary steps on the path to reading, but they're not reading. Reading is reading.
