A question for the Bluesky hivemind: does anyone have a particular textbook they'd recommend for a full-year, upper-level #Romanhistory survey course? Boatwright? Ward/Hechelheim/Yeo?

Alternatively: do we even bother putting a textbook on the syllabus anymore?

That’s awesome! I know she’s controversial in some circles but she’s such a huge part of my WBB experience. Also happy end of the year! πŸŽ‰

So much for any hope of travel to the US for the foreseeable. But how much worse to have to live under this regime. I’m so sorry, US friends.

I have pondered this for months. I didn't like the Zotero UI and decided to make a simple spreadsheet to tell me the basic info (author/date/short title/topic) & where the pdf lives on the computer. Not very fancy but it makes sense to me. Am cataloging years of "I'll just save that somewhere" files

Oh no! Take good care as best you can. Hope you have a quick recovery.

It feels trivial, given all of *waves arms maniacally* to note that I’ve been working more intently in the last week than I have since the before times. Today is for final edits and revisions for my talk and hoping that it all makes sense.

I will never fail to be awestruck (ha!) at the level of detail possible in an ancient coin die.

I’m so happy for you! Good for you to make the time (and reap the rewards) πŸ™Œ

That really is gorgeous! I might want to stay wrapped up in it until spring... (still very much in the depths of winter, alas)

Dishwasher troubles sorted, thankfully without much $. But the disruption, both mental (the stress/anxiety) and household (putting everything *back*, catching up on the dishes) is still annoyingly significant. I'll be glad to get back to the joy of research/writing tomorrow as a make-up day!

Arrgh. SO frustrating. Commiserating with you!

Forward progress today inhibited by homeowner problems, this time of the dishwasher variety, sigh. I've tried all the troubleshooting I know of; time to call in a professional.
