Moose died this morning. He declined quickly, but with enough warning for me to come home, and we were able to give him a sendoff that was painless and dignified.
He got very old, very fast, and decided he was done. It was a good death. I just thought we would have so much more time.

Legal historiography pupdate:
Moose is under contract with Cambridge University Press Studies in Legal History! The God and the Bureaucrat: Roman Law, Imperial Sovereignty, and Other Stories should be coming out in ‘25.
Hopefully they get his name right.

New chapter alert! Happy to circulate.
This is the most ‘legal’ thing I’ve written in a decade, but still might interest Classicists: I use the odd reception of Greece/Rome in gay-rights litigation to argue for broader tensions between historiography of sexuality and the way US courts work. (1/x)

During grad school, ppl would sometimes tell me I wasn’t a real Classicist because my interests skew interdisciplinary. Anyway, this proofs day is 4 the haters 😘
