Rather poignant that the beam on which Montaigne inscribed Euripides' despair about the fragility of the human condition (and the empty vanity of pride) has suffered the very fate it warns of: "What mortal will ever judge himself great when a chance cause can wipe him right out?"

"The name ‘Times New Roman’ may seem bizarre: no Roman ever created a digital font (obviously!), nor did the Romans have access to the printing press... But is there a connection between the Romans and the font style we use every day? If so, what is it?" antigonejournal.com/2022/11/ad-fon…

How are your bookshelves organised? 📚 You might be surprised to know that our books in the basement aren't organised by the Dewey Decimal System but rather by size of the publication, how niche it is and how often it is requested.

the demise of classics will mean that most people will not have access to teaching based on firsthand knowledge. it will mean we have decided that secondhand is enough, that guessing is fine, that hearsay is scholarship. i do not think future students deserve that

è in corso una ricerca affascinante sull’infanzia femminile che conferma che le ragazzine si sentono forti e coraggiose, creative e potenti, sino a che non cominciano a ricevere dannosi messaggi sessisti che le incoraggiano a conformarsi alle nozioni convenzionali di femminilità.
