I understand calling for individualized responses or even mass resistance to AI in academia. It's important to do what we can individually. But if unionization isn't part of the conversation, then we're not giving ourselves the best chance to win. Unions are the best institutions to help control AI

The intellectual history of Ethiopia and Eritrea: Ge'ez manuscripts and scholars (ca. 200-1900CE)
The unique manuscript collections of Ethiopia and Eritrea written in the Ge'ez script are arguably the best-known works of literature produced in pre-colonial Africa.

I haven't been on here in a while, partly because I've been leisure reading. I finally finished Wretched of the Earth, also read Zorba the Greek and Patricia Evangelista's Some People Need Killing, currently on The Seven Storey Mountain and selections of Dom Helder Camara's writings.
Reminder to tell bluesky about the good things you read. Books, articles, blogs, Greek epigraphs written across your lover's skin, mystical sigils glowing on the walls of a brokedown palace, whatever really. Share good stuff.

Researchers use ancient DNA to map migration during the Roman Empire
The team led by Stanford Medicine analyzed thousands of genomes, including those newly sequenced from 204 skeletons, to gain insight into how and where people moved during the Roman Empire.

Dear colleagues, if you have a paper to publish that relates to Latin and the Roman period lato sensu, don't hesitate to send it to the journal Latomus. It's a peer-reviewed journal which works *much faster* than many.
