Cabin crew: Is there a Dr on board?
Me: I am a Dr
Cabin crew: Thank God. We have a question about the 18th century textile trade in Northern Africa
Me: Ah. I'm afraid my PhD is in the ceramics of Northern Europe, 1672 - 1701

Apparently the non-genocide discourse right now is “NaNoWriMo is biased against women and caregivers because it happens in November which is the start of the holidays” and honestly I could weep with joy, a flawless internet casus belli

Me and my professor just had a tense debate that on the surface was about what a distaff is but also was clearly both of us feeling like our knowledge of our special interests were being challenged and so neither of us could let it go for the entire class

I miss the old classics twitter in the sense that I miss back when I was young enough, enthusiastic enough, and felt safe and happy and engaged enough to post long, winding threads full of my own interpretations of ancient texts. Those were good days.
