I’m beyond excited to be named the OPTIMA winner for #ASCS43 !! Thank you to the judges and the @ASCS1966 committee. Huge congratulations to Jessica Zelli for runner up and and my fellow postgraduates - This year’s talks have been amazing and I’ve loved every second.

Calling on Ovid &/or elegy people in Aus & NZ @gememberthat & I have been plotting an interest group so that we can get a cohort to keep up to date with International Ovidian Society events which are so northern hemisphere dominant. If you are interested please let me know!

[gemma @gememberthat]

Out of interest, has anyone on here done or knows anyone who has done a combined classics and creative practice PhD? I’ve got thoughts…

It has been a long journey, but it feels pretty good to finally have submitted my MPhil thesis. I'm proud of myself!

[gemma @gememberthat]

But teachers birth teachers and I’m a big nerd who wants to talk about the stuff that interests me all day so

[gemma @gememberthat]

So I’m studying to be a teacher now and it’s been very interesting and I’m learning a lot but it’s so funny to speak to my retired teacher mother who is so annoyed w herself for throwing out 40+ years worth of teaching resources last year.

[gemma @gememberthat]

In fairness to her though I did spend the entirety of my teens and early twenties railing against anyone who suggested I might become a teacher

[gemma @gememberthat]

@SkibinskiConnie Fantastic news!!!

[gemma @gememberthat]

@gnorimos Oh no! Feel better soon!

[gemma @gememberthat]

@gnorimos Can someone tell this to the job sector here? I’m so broke and would love to be properly employed 😅

[gemma @gememberthat]

@rantyben Please, Ben! Cat food is expensive!!

[gemma @gememberthat]

Losing my job suddenly has not been my favourite experience but at least the cat is pleased I’m home more.

@AimeeLT1983 @anagnostou_eva @AncientHistMQ @SPQR_MQ @mq_dha Congratulations, Aimee! Well deserved!!!

[gemma @gememberthat]

@peterjdavis2 Hope you have fun! I love talking about the Met with people who haven’t read it before it’s such an interesting experience

@markjaytee I find that the serum consistency is very light for me but I can see how that would be an issue! I normally just pop mine on second after my vit c serum and I’m golden

[gemma @gememberthat]

@markjaytee Not SPF 15 but I use cancer council SPF 50 day wear face serum and I love that

[gemma @gememberthat]

It appears I’ve become the type of person who spends her long weekend making this for a cat

Happy trans day of visibility to all of my trans and gender diverse friends! And also my enemies! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for resources on the teaching of Latin in Australian schools? I'd love to get a bit of an idea where we're at currently as support to a point I am making in my thesis and also for my own knowledge.

[gemma @gememberthat]

@gnorimos Mine's done this before - I think it went on strike. Gave it a holiday and it came back fine!
