Me: I love being a maximalist! Also me, when I need to dust: I’m throwing all this shit away I swear to god

My quarterly “I wish I interacted on this app more” post…

“You are the brightest star in my sky” Pasiphaë & Asterion #AncientBlueSky #BlueSkyClassics

Been waiting for Pokemon Fossil Exhibition tickets at the Field Museum since 1pm EST. This is astronomically frustrating.

Hot take, but no one should be using ChatGPT and any AI products in general.

uh. i guess i have a website? it's just a neocities but i'll try to keep it updated :) r2y9s.neocities.org

New profile picture 🗣️ I felt like an update and this is inspired by a picture taken of me in Egypt, though I wanted to look like a mysterious Mycenaean priestess! #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBkueSky

Reminder that Nazis got their cues from American slave catchers and Jim Crow. This isn’t Nazi Germany we’re seeing. It’s establishment America like it has always been.

New post this week on Sirmium! The ancient city became a focal point of activity starting in the 3rd century CE as an imperial capital and birthplace of a number of emperors. www.roamintheempire.com/index.php/20... #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientBlueSky 🏺

“‘Tis a joke, god~dess” Hades II Odysseus can gaslight me anytime.

I started crying seeing the depiction of the Field of Reeds in Assassins Creed Origins. Spending 25 years studying Ancient Egypt, it was amazing seeing it realized.

Broke out into violent sobs to a song I used to listen to all the time in college that came up on shuffle. I am NOT okay recently.

Fuck ICE and get out of my home state. This woman was brave and I’m infuriated by her death.

This week, the fourth and final part on ancient Salona! Things wrap up with some sites outside of the archaeological park, including a necropolis, city gate, and early Christian basilica. www.roamintheempire.com/index.php/20... #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientBlueSky 🏺

Another week of streams! Come stop by for the collab streams with @r2y9s.bsky.social this week!

⛏️Death to Chronos🗡️ As predicted, I’m absolutely in love with #HadesII. What a perfect sequel! So, here is some art of the princess of the underworld ✨

For those who love the ancient world and imparting the classic(al) wisdom of “Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes”... This design was inspired by when I was a Latin teacher and my coworker and I felt we needed a discrete way to push this message to our students!

Guys, help me not hate my handwriting…

Not me furiously googling how to shade a ball despite having drawn for 30+ years

Are you divinely favored? Think you’re the apple of a gods eye? Look no further than these designs!

Twitter used to be my Musings App™️ and now I’m not sure BlueSky scratches that itch

#Classicstober Day 29 - Mysteries 🌾✨ Not the spookiest piece but when I saw this prompt it reminded me of a paper I wrote in grad school about tiny votive figurines of girls holding piglets from Eleusis.

#Codextober Day Six: Templar Maria Thorpe, my chaotic neutral girlie. Saw the prompt and it had to be you. I love how much she matured and grew alongside Altaïr 😭 #codextober2025

Cross posting my crash out

#Classicstober Day Five: Hermes Psychopompos I really wanted to make it seem he is reaching past the border to the viewer to drive home he can cross boundaries and planes. #Classicstober25

New post this week, part three on ancient Kos! This week continues through the reconstructed Casa Romana before detailing the adjacent remnants of the southern area of the agora. www.roamintheempire.com/index.php/20... #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientBlueSky 🏺

#Codextober Day Four: Anomaly

A traditional drawing everyday in October!!!! Day 1!!!!!! Jade

#Classicstober25 Thanatos I know that he is often regarded with fear and malice but I wanted to depict a young Thanatos as mild mannered with kind and patient eyes. I wanted him wearing his “melampeplos” with a soul butterfly on his finger.

A bit of WIP for the corporate/ professional AU where both Ares and Aphrodite, in their modern mortal disguise form, working as licensed professional therapists.

#Classicstober Day One - Hypnos I based this piece off of the bronze bust from Civitella d’Arno. I always thought his wing ears were charming! Happy #Classicstober25 !

A reminder that #ClassicsTober starts tomorrow on @classicstober.bsky.social and the overall theme is KATABASIS.

and our spirits, too, will never be broken! Let's add more horses, comment with your flags if it is missing, let's see how many I can add xD

Millennia pass, but some traditions endure and here are some glimpses into the quietude of divine existence. Just taking a casual walk around the old office in Byblos with my consort and preparing for the next early morning.

It’s out in the world now, hopefully not getting lost on the way to its new home - in your hands. YOU ARE ODYSSEUS is finally ending its journey from idea to book. Illustration of Odysseus from the Title page of the paperback edition.

FLAT SOBEK FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!

In boring, non-academic news: the “spicy Byzantine.” All stainless steel.

I don't have anything profound to say. Censorship is bad. Tag and spoiler your NSFW art. Informed consent is more important than smothering voices.

When is the interactivity going to increase on this site? It still feels a bit like screaming into the ether.

New post this week, part two on ancient Kos! This week's post details the large Western Archaeological Zone with its mosaics and frescos as well as the city's 1st-2nd century CE odeon. www.roamintheempire.com/index.php/20... #RomanSiteSaturday #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #AncientBlueSky 🏺

Attention Anyone Who Knows Hieroglyphs!!! I have an amateur translation I would love to have checked for accuracy! Any help appreciated! #AncientBlueSky #ClassicsBlueSky #Archaeology

No better way to gear up for #ClassicsTober than to finally finish a prompt I started last year 😅 I was drawn to the complex story of Regina of South Shields & I hoped to reflect the implications we can draw from her tombstone. You can read further details on my instagram post! #ClassicsBlueSky

It’s 3am and I can’t sleep and I have work tomorrow (today?) I’m just -

Been sitting on this idea for a while: “brat” but in Latin and Ancient Greek. #ClassicsBlueSky #AncientBlueSky

Attention #ClassicsBlueSky, #AncientBlueSky, or anyone who just loves myth and history: What kind of stickers or shirt designs would you want? I’m itching to make some fun designs but am having a bit of art block! Any suggestions would be considered and any help appreciated!

Dude navigating this economy sucks.
