At the end of June, @shaynasheinfeld.bsky.social , @metalbiblescholar.bsky.social & I announced that our book on Good Omens & the Bible, was published. We are proud of the scholarship in that book. Then the world learned that Neil Gaiman had been accused of sexual assault by two women.

This labour of love is finally with the printers. Congrats to my co-editors, @shaynasheinfeld.bsky.social & Charlotte N D, and all the contributors. And of course thank you to @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and Terry Pratchett for writing such a beloved book. sheffieldphoenix.com/product/good...

Another day, another black metal band messaging me for help with song titles/lyrics in Latin.

The mask falls off.

FLOOFS IN MAINE

I feel that @metalclassicist.bsky.social would appreciate this

Related: I bought and assembled a Lego Coliseum for the sole reason that it’s the best cat bed possible.

To give you an idea of how the next two weeks will go once I’m back in the States this weekend, my dad just sent me a pic of Julio in Maine being extra orange in anticipation.

The talk on Persephone in Metal music videos by @emmapauly.bsky.social & I was well received, & bodes well for where our research on this topic is going. I brought the metal/metal studies, Emma brought the brilliant visual & choreographic analyses that really made this presentation shine.

Presentation day, last of three conferences in as many weeks. Also final day in the UK. Let’s do this.

Just watched a presentation by Esperanza Perea on this series of videos. I’m totally using these in my Myth courses (with English subtitles).

Ended up in a pub in Cardiff that used to be a fancy theater, complete with a knockoff Parthenon frieze.

I wish I were there! I had a blast presenting on Dice Forge and classical reception this morning, but alas, I presented remotely.

If you’re attending the Celtic Conference in Classics and have free time on Thursday at 10am, come see @emmapauly.bsky.social and I present some of our research. We’ve cooked up something real special here.
