one of these just isn't like the others
A screencap of an academic bibliography. Almost all of the entries are about the study of the poet Sappho, but one of them is about the fandom for the TV show Supernatural.

my research in particular lends well to bizarre bibliography juxtapositions
A screencap of an academic bibliography. A citation for an article called 'what is it with lesbians and hozier' appears next to a citation for Deleuze and Guattari's 'A Thousand Plateaus'.

Very excited to be presenting tomorrow at the Celtic Conference in Classics' panel on queering the ancient body! Drop by at 12:10 if you're interested in Athena, posthumanist theory, and gorgons.
A screenshot of a Powerpoint slide with a picture of the goddess Athena, carrying a spear and shield and with a bearded gorgon head on her shoulder. To the side, a quotation from Legacy Russell reads "A body that... remains indecipherable within binary assignment, is a body that refuses to perform the score. This nonperformance is a glitch. This glitch is a form of refusal."

I genuinely need to consult her (lsj) but it isn't worth the collapse of my zine library
A picture of a bookshelf, in which a large copy of Liddell and Scott's Greek-English Lexicon is the only thing propping up a collection of zines and comics, preventing them from falling off the shelf.

some art/classical reception I made last spring
Two collages made of a calendar, with the figures in the pictures cut out. Behind the first cutout is a painted field with a central black circle. Below it reads "September offered a grungy take with earthy tones." and "Persephone is a legacy perpetually reinvented." Beneath is a drawing of botanical forms merging with bodies with three insect shaped clocks inside. To one side, it reads "it's the only flower I can think of that's really in charge" and underneath "What an epic retelling of our collective past!!" Behind the second cutout is black ink with red circles and a central white square. Text below says "December: a moment of eternity flickering every second." Underneath is a drawing of fleshy shapes containing clocks. The centre clock is fruit-shaped. Beneath it says "#perpetual." An emerging head says "anything and everything that happens is in my control." To one side, text reads "modern brides want something edgier" and underneath "..or an exploration of our possible futures?"
