A shout out to the SAAH team @archanchistleic.bsky.social, the colleagues that contributed to it and our publisher @bloomsburyhist.bsky.social. Our volume (a result of our work in the department) just received its first official Review (by BMCR), and a good one: tinyurl.com/44h9xrjx

Received proofs for my first co-authored publication! Nikki & I discuss classical reception in the Fate anime series, using Alexander, Atalanta, & Nero as case studies. This will appear in the @academic.oup.com volume "Animation & the Ancient World," edited by Chiara Sulprizio & Toph Marshall.

Dwelling on the Margins of Empire by Lisa Binkley considers histories of home from the margins, highlighting the perspectives of displaced, colonised, and disenfranchised groups in imperial and settler colonial contexts.

Another Cambridge street painting. I think these old views of people dressed up and thronging the streets in celebration of their exams being over are a bit of an antidote to what's going on now (original sold a long time ago). Direct watercolour no predrawing.

Day 2; SCS/AIA 2026 – the first full day of discussion. Solid sessions, covering a good range of topics both in Classics and Archaeology. The discussions during Q&A have been particularly engaging. Nice to be back in an academic setting, exchanging ideas with colleagues.

One more year is coming under wraps, looking forward to 2026! Not because it will be a good year, but because we really need to stand against the currents of the world, which seems to spiral towards all that is wrong.

Solidarity, humanity, and understanding. Come together and stand stronger!
From the Isegoria Team, @immanump.bsky.social, warm wishes for 2026 | Health, prosperity, and success, within a world with more respect, understanding, and humanity.

Amazing how many people in universities have imbibed metrics as the only marker of value. It needs to change.
