One day 60 years from now, some of your grandkids are gonna ask you what it was like to know me.

I deserve better than this.

Nusky fact: my trivia team name is The Wiggles

When you're in Mexico Eating sauce on taco That's a mole

I haven’t really been keeping up with advertising my writing on social media since my article on Alice, but I’m still writing. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

Got banned off the other site for telling Richard Hanania to jump off a bridge

This undertaking has quite possibly been the most important project that has ever come out of my blog. Substack gives a free trial week to any new subscribers, and even if you don’t plan on paying, I recommend using that on this. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

I have the gene where if I eat cilantro it makes me taste like soap

This week, I wrote my opinions on what direction “The Classics” as a body needs to take in order to return to its primary role in education. nusky.substack.com/p/classics-e...

Politico buried the lede in this article. Trump is replacing Musk as head of DOGE with Joe and Murr from Impractical Jokers

I never understood this line

I heard there was a secret ooze It turned four turtles into dudes But you don't really care for pizza, do ya? They fought like this, Two swords, a stick A couple sai Some nunchuck tricks Those Ninja boys-a callin Cowabunga

This is the last translation I’ll be doing on the blog, at least for a while. Check it out if you want. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

I was actually Banksy this whole time btw

I spent my morning thinking about certain precursors to The Funny Thing that may come to pass. Like, at some point Elon is going to fuck up the TSA budget and that could lead to The Funny Thing happening very quickly.

Poke me back on Facebook you coward

Just finished writing my first 0 star review for the blog. I’m going to have to track down the person who recommended I read this book and honk them on the nose for being such a clown.

I hate writing to such a small audience but I also hate self-promotion. I feel so stuck all the time.

A functioning government would buy this up and destroy any American’s data in order to prevent horrific shit from being done to their descendants, but as-is it’s probably going to end up in Elon’s hands so he can hand pick his next sperm receptacle.

It's up on the store!

Just lost a $13m investment because I forgot to cast a single black actor in my musical adaptation of the discography of the Wu Tang Clan. Fml.

I think I’m going to invent a new time zone

Find joy in the simple things

Creed is a math rock band that happens to compose in 4/4 time

I’m not charging what my writing is worth on my substack but most of you won’t pay what little I ask for anyway.

There are too many safeguards in place to protect from natural selection. Trump should have died of Covid in office but they had to pump him full of meds instead. Abolish the secret service.

I should be published by now. The only reason I keep getting these fucking form rejection letters is because the system only wants to publish books written for morons.

I deserve better

Talking shit about JD Vance this week open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

VD Jance

If I were to get off my ass and actively work towards stopping all the people who have gotten in the way of my generation’s health and wellbeing, I’d create a cottage industry of street cleaners in D.C.. In that scenario you’d be whining about me for other reasons.

Oh man, that better be a typo because if I did all that work just to not be considered, I’m actually done writing forever lmfao

Someone should edit the JD Vance face into the closet scene from Burn After Reading

I can’t believe I just wrote five pages on Smash Mouth’s impact on American culture

I should be allowed to detach one of his hands over this

I gotta be honest, I would vote for this one.

I’ve got so many projects that have stalled out because nobody wants to pay me to do shit. It doesn’t matter how good it is because the zeitgeist prefers to consume slop and I’m not willing to put out slop.

Life hasn’t been good since the pandemic hit. Things weren’t great before either but I’ve just sunk so deep into this rut and all the changes I’ve tried to make to get out have been fruitless.

Last night, my mother and I were the victims of a hit and run. We are fine, but the car is done for as the result of a broken axle. We left scrambling and panicking in a week where we are moving into a new home. Please read, RT, and donate if you can. 🙏🏽 www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...

This week, I talked about a handful of movies that came out last year featuring ancient history as a central theme or setting. open.substack.com/pub/nusky/p/...

I’ve begun to organize this into a cohesive project. Early submissions are now open and the time to spread this by word-of-mouth is now. When I actually start advertising I’ll have a date to close submissions by, but please start thinking about this now. adfinemjournal.wordpress.com

If, hypothetically, I started a zine/literary journal dedicated to publishing Latin elegiac poetry to the deceased, which title should I give it? Ad Finem Journal Nil Nisi Bonum Journal Omnis Caro Faenum Journal Æquo Pede Pulsat Journal

Little bit of good news. I was given the opportunity to help a fellow classicist (@Alvarus__lat) with some proofreading for his translation of Comenius’ Orbis Sensualium Pictus. It feels great to have my name attached to such an important project, and I encourage everyone to pick up their own copy.

My freaking Instacart driver just asked if he could substitute the Pope translation of the Odyssey when I CLEARLY ordered the Fagles version. Now my family is going to STARVE.

Anyone here with a classics connection to the University of Chicago? I would even take non-classics connections at this point. I need something that may be in the archives but definitely isn’t digitized and the library will take a month to get back to me.
