I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

I'm a huge fan of archaeological photos where we get our first peek at objects in the field. Here, a 1st c. CE marble monopodium (table base) in the form of a naked boy holding a goose appears out of the lapilli in #Pompeii in 1952. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ 📸 left, me; right, see ALT

Marble sculpture of a naked boy with longish hair, wearing a cape and holding a small goose. He stands against a pilaster, which would have formed the support for a marble garden table. Photo: my own, taken at the exhibition “L’altra Pompei, vite comuni all’ombra del Vesuvio” ('The other Pompeii, ordinary lives in the shadow of Vesuvius'), held at the Pompeii palaestra.Black and white photo from the excavation of 1952, showing the head and top of the table support pilaster of this sculpture appearing out of a mound of lapilli, volcanic material (like loads of small pebbles or rocks). A brick column and brick wall are in the background. Photo courtesy of Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Napoli e Pompei

Just want to give this a boost. I’m an AG member, as many of you are, and this is a step in the right direction. Not perfect, but publishers sure af aren’t doing anything, and we have to start somewhere. #writersky authorsguild.org/human-author...

We talk a lot about impact and citations, but more than 300,000 people have learned about my research into the history of Black names from this short piece. It’s several years old but still gets well over 1,000 new readers each month. Real Black History Matters. theconversation.com/a-brief-hist...

A scholar disproves the long-held assumption that black names are a recent phenomenon.
