Spent my day correcting Theodosius to Theodosios, Agathonicus to Agathonikos, and… Pulcheria to Poulcheria - following the editors’ wishes, even if it makes an empress sound like a hen… Almost ready to submit this monograph!

RFK Jr's move to eliminate the Administration for Community Living, which helps disabled & aging people stay at home instead of being institutionalized, is disastrous.

Cutting #disability benefits will increase mental health issues, hasten #disabled people's deaths & put huge pressure on the #NHS, social workers, homelessness orgs, @citizensadvice.bsky.social & more. And it won't increase the number of #accessible jobs. Here are some ideas for ethical alternatives

The pressure to publish more and faster was one of the most frustrating things about working in publishing. If I could say ONE thing to the publishing industry about how to make things better, it would be this: do not publish anything you are not going to support well with marketing.

Today’s work: flip-flopping on some Greek edition decisions because I can’t ever trust my philological skills to go against early 20th century editors, and revising a scene of my novel where my main protagonist kept repeating “what do you mean?” to the Spanish ambassador she’s meant to seduce. 😓

This applies for most things in the news these days…
