What happened with #WCCWiki in 2025? How are women and non-binary classicists looking on #Wikipedia? Here's a thread to wrap-up last year, and to forge a path for 2026 ...

One of these things is not like the others #catsofbluesky #dollsky

Votive uteri are a moving & common find in the ancient world. Offered at temples, they carried hopes for healing, fertility and protection. Part one of our short series explores what these powerful objects meant to the people who made them. Available here potted-history.co.uk/products/rom...

Some votive uteri have been found with not one, but two hidden beads sealed inside. Tiny private messages placed in clay nearly two thousand years ago. In part three, we ask you to let us know what you think. potted-history.co.uk/products/rom...

Many ancient votive uteri, including examples in the British Museum, contain a small bead of clay sealed inside the vessel. A quiet symbol of hope, protection and healing. Watch part one and follow our account for part three. potted-history.co.uk/products/rom...

This is one of the best meteorological graphics I've ever seen 😂😂😂

I absolutely loved CITY OF OTHERS by Jared Poon! I read this bound proof (really appreciate publishers sending physical copies even when no ARCs are available) and the worldbuilding, characters, & fast-paced story were all great! Definitely recommend!

I am very interested in this one, too, I must confess.

I'll be reading at @bklynbooksbooze.bsky.social next month!

I hope #BookSky and authors alike will consider donating to this effort to cover the costs of translating a Palestinian poet into English. Heba Al-Madhoun and two of her children were killed in a 2023 Israeli air strike. Her husband, now based in MA, wants to share her work with the world.

I want to tell you about the books I have bought myself, in part for winter gift-giving holiday and in part to get myself through a really trying January (&in part because I want to read more books that I feel less pressure about). 1. SNAKE-EATER by T. Kingfisher www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

"Is it Persephone? Is it the Tempest? No, it's Mestra!" :D (my reaction to hearing of Madeline Miller's upcoming short story is Superman themed I guess)

“For Christ sake write and don’t worry about what the boys will say nor whether it will be a masterpiece nor what. I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit. I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.” —Ernest Hemingway, Letter to F. Scott Fitzgerald, 28th May 1934

This week, I was working in the rocks of the Green River Formation. So, for #FossilFriday, I wanted to highlight fossil fish from this formation like this gar on display at the Burpee Museum. These rocks formed from large lakes between 53.5 and 48.5 million years ago and had many species of fish.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

The classical Carnatic song Sita Kalyanam Vaibhogame comes to mind, it’s played at so many weddings, but the wedding of Rama and Sita in Hindu mythology is not a happy union. Not a marriage to hope for.

It is Wednesday, and that means there's a new episode of It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton. I made a creative choice for this week that I haven't made before, and I wanted to talk about it a little bit. I made a creat

My favorite goddess from Greek mythology was always Selene. Gentle, gothy, tricked the gods into preserving her mortal lover in sleep. Not so bad. Also is this not some of the best hair work I've done!?

These whistle heroes have sent us THOUSANDS of whistles for free over the last 7 weeks.

#SomethingBeautiful This painting passes the Bechdel test! I really like this Victorian painting of two women and a bookshelf, which I saved from the internet some time ago. I've been having trouble finding information about the artist or somewhere I could buy a print though.

I just joined an online group called “Birds with Threatening Auras”. I have great expectations. 😆

I am a puddle of tears - Relic of Thieves got its first trade review and it's a star! From KIRKUS! 😭💙 This story is about summoning courage while recovering from familial wounds & finding a family bound not by blood but something much stronger. Knowing the story made an impact means the world! 🖤

Hey all my #Classics friends -- is there anyone out there who would be able to hook me up with a chapter or two out of "Searching for the Cinaedus in Ancient Rome"? I don't have access to any library that has it at the moment. Thanks!

Greek mythology exists in the fullmetal alchemist cannon.

Songs to for world hopping. If you love older MCs, sword fighting, ancient mythology with a new spin, and twisty scifi fantasy stories you're going to love Nancy O'Toole's The Mirror Guardian.

Listening to folk music and thinking about the Slavic mythology based #ttrpg system I started making with my gf last year... Should probably continue writing it... Have a birb creature <3
