Students & researchers have a tough time keeping the names of Roman emperors and elites straight. But we do have a database to help name and number each. It is called the Prospographia Imperii Romani (=PIR) and has 15061 persons, of which 1932 are women. Please use the database! pir.bbaw.de#/search

Sunday Planning Time! Synch all your calendars for the coming week. Then book some explicit time for you: a mani or pedi, time in a cafe with a book, lunch with a friend, an evening alone with a videogame. Whatever makes you happy!

Self-Care Saturday! Self care includes keeping your space in a condition that your brain & body can accept. Bubble baths are great unless the tub is gross, or you're out of bubble bath. Clean the shower or tub this weekend, or check the status of your cleaning products. What's almost out?

A book coach is your book’s advocate! I help you make choices about your book with confidence: structure, evidence, organization, presses, you name it! If the process is opaque, or you want support in helping your book shine, a coach can help you get there.

Elsa got something right: "Let it go." Live in the current moment as much as you can. You can only control your own behavior and thoughts. My pups close their eyes, put their heads down a moment, and then they're up and ready go to again.

Sunday Planning time! Synch the calendars & check the meal plan. We are past the midpoint of the term. What term goals do you need to reconsider? What needs to shift to allow you to achieve your priority goals? No idea? Let's talk!

And now I've got a functioning word press site with vocab flashcards and content quizzes! (still no content but at least the pieces are there!)
This is feeling very real.... textbook available for Winter 2026 adoption!

This morning I successfully used MS PowerPoint to construct a slide theme that matches my book cover. I altered slide masters, created a new theme, sampled & converted colors from the cover, identified & downloaded & installed new fonts... I'm proud of me!

Self-Care Saturday! Make sure you’ve got a solid plan for breakfast this week. It doesn’t need to be much, but you should eat something! Yogurt, a granola bar, or an egg go a long way toward fueling your body.

Don't forget to feed your inner geek! You came to academia because you've got a driving internal curiosity. Make sure you nourish that with unrelated-to-work geekiness on a regular basis. Help pique someone's curiosity today by sharing a quirky fact with us! What makes you go Hmm?

One of my fav food websites, BudgetBytes.com, has a VERY useful post up about preparing for food disruptions. They've got a list of meals under $5 and under $10, and TONS of price-conscious recipes made from a limited pantry.

I'd love to help make BlueSky one of the places where young scholars introduce themselves and their work to the world.
If you're a PhD student whose work at least partially focuses on economics of education or education policy, reply to this thread and I'll highlight your work.

Well, the Purple People have made it home. I'm easing back into work.
If I owe you an email or a reply message (there are a bunch of you!) I'll be getting to most of those today. Please circle back if you haven't heard from me by Monday!

Some unpleasantness in life is necessary. Some is not. What unnecessary unpleasantness can you cut? You'd be surprised if you think about it!
