Oh, and Brown as well. If the list doesn't exist already, maybe we can crowd source it in this thread.

Thanks! In addition to those two, Duke is also not accepting students this year. We're in for a rough cycle.

Several years ago, we saw a truck in New Mexico (NM plates, too) with bumper stickers for both the Yankees AND the Patriots. One of the worst things I've seen, tbh.

I am shook that it's been twenty years, aka the lament of the middle aged. I wouldn't be the scholar I am now without the medieval courses I took.

Newborn phase means I'm just now seeing this but I strongly third both Isabel and Liz's comments. It is not an exaggeration to say that my career would not be the same if I hadn't had ktl!

When I last taught Myth in 2017, I was several weeks into the semester when a student approached me and asked me what the abbreviation "pp" meant on the syllabus. At regional R1s this definitely started before covid or AI, but both have absolutely exacerbated it.

When I lost my kitty after eighteen and a half years together, a friend told me I'd see her out of the corner of my eye sometimes, and those would be the times she was coming back to check on me. I still think of that today. ❤️

I once interviewed someone over Zoom while breastfeeding. Sadly, Cicero didn't have the equipment for that sort of display.

Really sorry that something so vile was said to you. The rise of fascism is certainly revealing everyone's true colors, for both good and ill.

If I don't automatically get granted full professorship for that, they're going to need to rethink the whole system.
