Why not take a minute to tell us about someone who makes Classics a nicer place. Maybe there's someone who said just the right thing to you at just the right time. That person deserves a bit of recognition, neh?

if you want your google searches to stop giving you an AI answer first (as you should?) you just need to add -AI to the end of your search. maybe everyone knew this already, but if you care about AI’s impact on climate change, here’s one more tiny way to resist🫶🏼
