Sarah Pomeroy built her career writing about ancient women who lived in the E Med, W Asia + Egypt. Her investment in Whiteness and Orientalism, which mimicks Trumpian fascist talking points, epitomizes everything that is rotten in Classics. Same for the other Zios tantruming on the list.
It is truly upsetting that a senior scholar in classics, with the protections and stature of tenure, would openly gloat about the US denying visas to people (often nontenured) due to their political views. Maybe the worst thing I've ever seen on the Classics listserv, and that's saying something.

Okay, why does this book matter? We held a conference in Melbourne in 2023, believing democratic-decay scholarship needs to pay attention to Rome, the only old democracy to fall from internal causes. I don’t need to say why that matters now. We want to bring #ancientbluesky and #polisci together. 🧵
Our book has now appeared, a bit ahead of schedule. Its in Open Access, meaning the chapters are all free to download either as epub or pdf from this link. I’ll put a thread together on what the individual chapters are about.

This Roman historian was not entertained by Gladiator II — Working Classicists
From the minute we heard about this movie, I said to my friends there was
no WAY I would write a think piece about Gladiator II, let alone watch it,
and yet, here we are: I've both watched and think-pieced.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.
