At a certain age, you realize that staying home and reading books is the best decision in the world.

wishing i was fluent in every language just to read their poetry and literature in its truest form without a translation pulling it apart.

And now a pamphlet(!), but one with weight: it's inscribed by its author, one of the great Latinists of the 20th century, Jim Adams, to arguably the greatest Hellenist of the 20th century, Martin West. And it's all about pronouns in Latin poetry. A rare treat!

[Antigone Journal @AntigoneJournal]

Next up, a dream-team translation volume, of poetry in seven languages. Lyttleton and Gladstone join forces to translate poetry into and out of ancient languages. Limited edition of 750 copies. Includes Gladstone's Homeric verses and Latin Odes to his wife...

God, they always go for the arts and humanities and I’m so fucking tired. All you guys see is money, all you care about is profit and gain and power. We need more artists, musicians, writers, dancers. We need more educators, therapists, philosophers-people who UNDERSTAND people.

Pattern recognition might be my least favorite neurodivergent ability. “Oh… I see exactly where this is heading. Surely everyone else sees it too, right?”

Oh.

They don’t.

Guess I’ll just sit here in silent horror and watch the disaster unfold exactly as predicted.
