I long for a return to 'street style' - a real focus on what people are actually wearing in the world rather than just what they photograph to put on social media. Found this contemporary Tokyo street snap blog recently and I've been totally obsessed with it! www.tumblr.com/tomoike2525

one of these just isn't like the others

Will this be hybrid/livestreamed? Would really like to attend but I'm in the UK!

that's interesting! my college at cambridge didn't have a dining hall like that but i would have really enjoyed that. sometimes i feel like people are more open to cross-disciplinary conversations when they've just met you than when they know you well

I wish more people in the Academy tm could put aside their anxieties about coming across as fully informed about everything all the time because it would really help us engage with one another. not exempting myself from this obviously

and I don't think I knowingly go into these convos assuming or expecting a person to have the same knowledge as I do - I want to talk across and between disciplines! I get why people have this anxiety about classics specifically but it's still frustrating

I've had this frustration since I was an undergrad - with peers who are happy to tell me about their work but clock out of a conversation when I compare/relate it to mine because they 'don't know enough about classics'

put another way sappho is not yet lesbian she may never touch lesbianism but can feel it as the warm illumination of a horizon imbued with potentiality
