She/her. Part time classicist. I spend a lot of time thinking about ancient Rome but not the way you think.
Today at a demonstration in support of Ukraine — not a bad turnout considering they started organizing it yesterday morning.

Dear Safeway, don’t you know that you are closing my local store — rendering this part of the Western Addition a food desert — but Walgreens is keeping their local store open? It’s enough to make me switch to Lucky! #sanfrancisco

8 years ago I was in Oxford. I got the bad news when I woke up and then I went to teach the fall of the Roam Republic, because when you’re a historian sometimes your day job is really fucking apposite. It was probably Sulla’s dictatorship, or its aftermath.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #559,731! This really makes me feel like I should be doing more with this account.

Probably 3000 of those was just me walking in a circle wondering what the hell was up with the 37 Corbett today. (It was the Castro Street fair.)
