@wmarybeard.bsky.social lecture at St. Martin’s in the Field (with my old friend Andy West attending) was captivating as always. Wonderful to catch up afterwards if only briefly at The Crypt. The Q and A section, had many enthused participants of all ages and background! 🤗

I’m a high school Latin teacher & self-funding my PhD research because neither UK nor US fund part-time online. My son (19) is in college now & I dream we can graduate at the same time, since I waited so long. Your generosity is appreciated. The muses will sing your praises 🤗

Does anyone have suggestions how to fix a good book whose glue is gone? I literally don’t know what kind of glue to put, and where to get it from.
