My poor old laptop seems to be properly struggling now. The ol' boy has seen me through an undergrad, honours and mphil. He needs to rest.

Talking about Ovid and elegy are some of my favourite things to do and if you also love to do that and are living it up down under @shona22.bsky.social and I wanna hear from you!
Calling on Ovid and/or elegy people in Aus & NZ! @gemmaneall.bsky.social and I have been plotting an interest group so that we can get a cohort to keep up to date with International Ovidian Society events which are so northern hemisphere dominant. If you are interested in joining please let me know!

So excited for @chelschwartz.bsky.social ! She gave a great talk and it was awesome to watch her do so well
Presented at my first @ASCS1966 conference this week on Asclepiades of Bithynia, and was awarded runner up for the OPTIMA prize! Its been an incredibly validating, supportive and educational week. Looking forward to next year!

Out of interest, has anyone on here done or knows anyone who has done a combined classics and creative practice PhD? I’ve got thoughts…

This is the longest I’ve been away from my cat since I brought him home and the instructions I’ve left for the cat sitter reflect this

Just over a year ago my friend asked me if I could look after this sick kitten she found while we found him a home. Turns out that home was mine and Wilfred and I are best buds. He’s fat and mean and I love him.

Very excited to have received the marks for my MPhil thesis back a few weeks ago accepted with no revisions! I haven’t spoken about it much because I’m still recovering from the idea that I finished it at all, but thought it a good way to ring in this new profile!
