@brimwats Congrats Bri! Well done today!

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@MelissaKAFunke This is so good! I almost wish I was teaching today so that I could get Sally dressed up

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@annacademic I know right?? I was there 2008/9 (4vwo). It's really hard to believe

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@annacademic Somehow in the 12 years (12 years?!?!) since my exchange, I had falsely internalized that the plural of stroopwafel was stroopwafellen, and I am shook.

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

I've had three students today ask me what other courses I would recommend in the department and I am just sitting here like 🥰🥰🥰

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@tarasdactyls Sally is sending you the very best wishes!

[SparkNotes @SparkNotes]

RIP Homer I know he would’ve loved Super Mario Odyssey

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@aimee_hinds Oh man, the typos in this 😅😬

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@aimee_hinds This might be a rhetorical questions, but I planned a graduate conference for my department last year, and I have a planning timeline that has been past down/edited by past conference chairs, that I can send you, it it would be helpful

The very bad inarticulate thing that I wrote before lunch, is not as bad or as inarticulate as I thought #tinywritingwins

*By 'field research' I mean wandering around UBC looking for inscriptions

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

I may not be able to dig again this summer, but at least I get to bring Sally on all my field research* this year

[sententiae antiquae @sentantiq]

everyone's always talking about the 'best of the achaeans'

here on twitter dot com with @guygavrielkay and #classicstwitter we want to start straight from the bottom and find the worst.

Gentle reader, the big reveal is that the worst of the Achaeans is you...

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

I'm rereading the Bacchae for my myth tutorials this week. I enjoy this play immensely, but I find Dionysus absolutely terrifying

I've found that he's often regarded as a fun god, but I just think he's scary

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@Imogen_herrick @Gillee_Anne Very true! But also, currency is valuable currency. Pay attention to which departments adequately fund their grad students, postdocs and ECR. These are the departments that care about your success, future, and the growth of their field.

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

It was March all along

[Jayden Lloyd @jayll_yvr]

@Gillee_Anne took the words out of my mouth

[Gillian Glass, PhD @Gilli_Anne1]

Every year @UBC asks my opinion on raising #tuition. Every year, I tell them that doing so is detrimental to students—for many reasons. I am tired of this dance. #tuitionfees #gradschool #freeeducation #openschools

Sally the Adventure Dog got tired
