If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

Found today somewhat by chance an obverse die link between the sextantes of four (!) different Roman republican coin series: RRC 188 (OPEIMI), 190 (OPEI), 191 (VAL), and 194 (3rd anchor); there are two other shared dies but only this one is used for all four series #ancient #numismatics

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Your regular reminder that being funny in alt-text is lovely, sure, but if it is NOT USEFUL TO PEOPLE WHO ARE USING IT FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE than it's useless and trash. If you can't be both funny AND accessible just be accessible. Just describe what's in the image.

Random 🏺Ancient Bluesky question: is anyone aware of depictions of bird houses in Roman art? Not bird cages, but houses where wild birds could live? A few internet searches didn't turn up anything helpful but if anyone has leads they would be greatly appreciated!

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.
I'm sure many have said this before but I'm reading a student-facing document about how students might use AI in the classroom (if allowed) and one of the recs is: use AI to make an outline of your reading! But ISN'T MAKING THE OUTLINE how one actually learns?
