Thanks for sending! 3-D reading is oh so much better.

Looking forward to celebrating the launch of this bad boy with @smidbob.bsky.social on Monday. Come join us at the IHR if you’re in London!

I am finally going to read The Epic of Gilgamesh. Please tell me which translation/version I should choose.

Today!

You should expand this and publish it somewhere!

This is a hella smart, and new (to me anyways) critique of AI. Read the whole thread!

Loki says be brave! He did it and it was all a-okay.

Indeed. I was so hoping for the time to have DEEP THOUGHTS. Oh well, I'll just have to sandwich them into the summer I suppose. Godspeed to you!

Me too :(

Any A-Level history teachers out there to help a sister out?
