For Black History Month, I will post a daily primary source about a Black resident of 18th-century Massachusetts. 1. Miss Betty Cooper, who was considered male by her enslavers, but was “well known” enough that they did not publish any physical description when she self-emancipated in 1771.

"The b Scholion for this passage explains that “The Myrmidons are awestruck by the beauty, but they can’t look at it.” (οἱ δὲ Μυρμιδόνες τὸ κάλλος ἐκπλήττονται, ἀντοφθαλμεῖν μὴ δυνάμενοι). I think that this interpretation is bonkers..." open.substack.com/pub/joelchri...

Check out my new interview with Flint Dibble Last year, I met with the archaeologist Flint Dibble to talk about Et Cetera. The video came out this week! Video description: A conversation with author Maia Lee Chin about her fantastic new book Et Cetera. We cover all kinds of topics from public…

I did a lecture on memes and sententiae for the Providence Athenaeum What I’ll say is that I love saying I did a lecture but the actual prep (including choosing an outfit) leaves a lot to be desired

Lowkey the funny thing about my book is that I make it pretty clear that I don’t like everything about Rome

Famously there’s oily Ajax and the other one

Through incredible diligence, @yilinwriter.bsky.social has finally wrestled an agreement from the British Museum. Very much overdue. It's confusing that they had no policy to obtain translations. It does make you wonder about previous installations.
