🚨New Episode!🚨 @debscavator.bsky.social joins Alexandra for a chat about disability in Ancient Greece. What do you think is the most common question Debby is asked? The answer might surprise you, and reveal a *lot* about our modern thought processes...

Re-upping this to remind everyone that this statue--part of our best evidenced dedication on the Athenian Acropolis in the late Archaic period--is on display at the Acropolis Museum in Athens. If you're traveling through this summer, check her out! Meanwhile, here's the open access article

BlueSky Classics peeps: what cases do we have evidence for a household slave or freedperson testifying at a trial on behalf of their domina? Either at a woman’s murder trial or in cases of domestic violence? Pontia and Octavius Sagitta is a famous one but I’m struggling to think of others…

For some reason it always surprises me when I see that birds have breath

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The new project mapping 7,000+ ancient letters is impressive: romanletters.org . The database & geolocation (although noting Pleiades rather than just AWMC would be nice) are great. But I absolutely cannot get over use of AI—however transparent—for translation. 🚨 Value human translators 🚨

That’s where Id look for sure

Right wing men desire a world ruled by hierarchy and domination, and the way they treat women and girls is an extension of that principle. Left wing men desire a world ruled by equality and dignity, and the way they treat women and girls is an exception to that principle.

An investigation by The New York Times found extensive evidence that Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers co-founder, groomed and sexually abused young girls who worked in the movement.

A very kind review of my book in Greece and Rome, making some of the connections between Roman autocracy and contemporary society that I hadn’t been *quite* willing to say out loud in print… www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

BEYOND thrilled that I have been awarded (– along with my fabulous colleagues Mary Ton and Elias Petrou) funding from our Campus Research Board for the project "Parthenon at Illinois: studying interaction through historic and emerging replication techniques" 🎉 /1

My article on a vase with a kalos-inscription for Hephaistos has just been published, open access! In the article, I present a vase that's been largely ignored, but which gives us a new way to think about Hephaistos and his importance in 5th century BCE Athens. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...
