It's my wonderful husband's birthday today! Woohoo! To celebrate, I planned a trip for us to Cinque Terre for the first time. Absolutely gorgeous, and can't wait to explore more with my birthday boy this weekend!

So excited - can't believe this will finally see the light of day as a part of the Libera Res Publica series at the end of the month!!! Thanks to Cristina Rosillo López and Francho Pina Polo for shepherding this over the line - they were so helpful and easy to work with!

Okay I'm ashamed to admit I'm getting into this TikTok thing and I'm kinda proud of the things I'm learning. Here's one about our weekend in Cinque Terre 🥰

We'll call this series of photos "I Gesticulate Wildly As I Teach In Front of Ancient Monuments and Pretty Views."

Flight home has been delayed 3 hours and 45 minutes. Clearly Rome doesn't want us to leave!

Help! I briefly saw a tweet recently (I think RT-ed by rogueclassicist ~ david meadows?) with a link to a video or post about queer/feminist retellings of ancient stories that everyone should read, but I've lost it and didn't save it. Anyone know what I'm talking about? #ClassicsTwitter
