Well. It's been a while. I've got a question. What do you do when an organisation whose charitable objective is to support people with #CFSME says that you can't apply for a job there because they can't make adjustments for your CFS/ME? #chronicillness
Please share this information with anyone who may be able to take part in the biggest study so far into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/M.E. DNA research is a massive step forward in understanding this very complex condition. #Disability#edutwitter#SEND@AngelaRayner@MichaelRosenYes

Forgive me

Well. Hi. I live in a tiny house now. I'm translating Medea, teaching drama, eating vegetables, and trying not to read the news. I bought a second hand Barbour jacket and I go for walks in the woods with my dog, Stanza. We're still holding on to some goth punk though.
I totally get why Shelley went "eh... this'll do" in his translating work though, chuck in a bit of Latin, bit of Neoplatonism, bit of fuck it I'll do it in ottava rima. I mean, by Zeus, big picture, guys.
Reading Greek is way better than Athenaze, at first when Dikaipolis got on board the ship in Euboia I thought he might have brought his lazy slave and his stones, but now I'm really emotionally invested in the noise from below.
Nietzsche: God is dead.
Everyone: wow cool.
Nietzsche: No, not cool you little shits. Now we have to be God ourselves. Can you replace God? No, because are all a bunch of idiots.
Everyone: oh shit.
Also super grateful today for my bike lock, which stopped me stealing my own bike when it broke and wouldn't come off. Luckily a nice Scottish man gave me and my bike a lift home.
Do any Classicists have a copy of Athenaze II I could borrow/steal? Threw mine away in a fit of pique I think. Probably after Philippos got his sight back from gambling or whatever.
