Drop everything and look at this amazing creature.

Today on AOH, Dr. @roelkonijn.bsky.social, the Darby Fellow in Ancient History at Lincoln College, Oxford, discusses psychological warfare and imperial brutality in antiquity,Greek ambivalence about war’s glory and horror, & myth-busts Sparta as less uniquely militarist than popularly imagined.

Who is this guy in Eurovision prison.

Sure, everything in life might be terrible but I completed a no bought gem run of Forbidden Solitaire.

Oh man. He was an Atlanta legend.

This essay is extraordinary; drop everything and read it. What a writer, what a person.

The poster says "defy the gods" like that was remotely successful or advisable.

It's seriously so good. And I'm not just saying that because the dungeon beast demands more souls.

We have reached the point of the semester where my Antiquity in Modern Media students are presenting their semester projects. Today was DeathNote x Icarus and Absolute Wonder Woman x HH to Demeter. Both from non Classicists, who did an amazing job on things that don't have scholarship. So proud. 🏺

I am so excited for this. Although I think the shock of 1995 being so vintage will kill me before the dungeon does.

Well well well, looks like SOMEONE regrets scraping every single post from tumblr

Our cat gets high off of bleach but we still need it on occasion, which is why walking around the room right now feels like wading in a Pirahna movie.

Sure, why not. I'm sure this isn't a portent at all.

LOS ANGELES: Please help these kitties Kit & Caboodle. Their owner passed away last week, and I've taken it upon myself to find them a loving forever home. They are GOOD BABIES. Can anyone *LA area only* adopt them? I just don't want them to end up in a kill shelter. Share, RT, ask around... thanks!
