A beautiful new book with a blue cover that says: Ethnic Relations in the Ancient Mediterranean: Social Life Under Empire by Philip A. Harland

@philharland.bsky.social ‘s book has arrived!

The downside of now delivering conference presentations ex tempore is that I have more work to do when it comes time to publish the proceedings.

🚨Ahhhhhhhh!🚨 The OA version of my book "Medievalism, Popular Culture and Politics in Metal Music" is already available at intellectdiscover.com/content/book... and I do not know when it went online! No promotional thread prepared! Nothing! Panic!

Speaks to @bsky.app / @moderation.bsky.app going the way of Xitter in terms of content moderation when they allow accounts like this (who has well over 20K followers) to go about behaving like this without serious consequences.

I’m sensing a pattern with this man calling women “cunts” and “twats”. 🤔

Wow, so much for taking safety seriously @moderation.bsky.app

Some random old man calls me a twat and the best this joke of a website can do is slap on a “Rude” label.

Wow, that’ll really teach him!

I can’t believe a grown ass man and entrepreneur called me a twat for being objectively correct about Obama’s record of drone strikes. Anyone with a working brain can easily google this and find sources.

I’ve blocked this ghoul, but here’s a grown man calling me a twat because I had the audacity to speak truthfully about Obama, and I say this as someone who actually supported Onama in my youth.

Please report him for targeted harassment. ☺️

So please, do us all a favor and eat a fucking b*llet.

Her post clearly caused you such cognitive dissonance that you saw the need not only to screenshot & tag her as though to pillory her for public derision, when in fact the clownish behavior is entirely your own. You’ve proven how an utterly miserable man you are, punching down on this woman.

One of the best pieces of editing advice, ever, comes from Spooky Grandpa: your new draft is your old draft minus 10% of the word count.

It's hard, but it really does transform things

Mole poblano con arroz rojo.

Country #110 of my Cooking Round the World challenge is MEXICO 🇲🇽

Mole Poblano is chicken smothered in a sauce of chocolate, chili peppers, nuts, dried fruits, corn tortillas & bread, onions, garlic, & tomatoes. Served with Arroz Rojo, which is rice made with onions, tomatoes, peas, & jalapeño.

What kind of lunatic would agree to write a book chapter, book review, and review a manuscript, all of which is due at the end of finals week of the Spring semester?

It’s me. I’m the lunatic.

Yes, entirely. Was a lot of work but it paid off.

Bought them without realizing Hypocrisy weren’t on the bill.

I have 3 premium balcony tickets for Dimmu Borgir at the Worcester Palladium 8/6 to sell. Let me know if interested.

Somebody just asked me if I had “an imperial-size Allen wrench” & for a moment I misunderstood & was picturing a bunch of Roman lictors carrying giant Allen wrenches around. Or would it be a bundle of Allen wrenches?

Ironic that you chose the lion-headed god Aeon to say that.
