Book cover of the book "Egypt's Mediterranean" by Zoe Griffith. It is an artist's rendition of a view from a balcony overlooking palm trees and boats.

Hi everyone! My book, Egypt's Mediterranean, came out with @ucpress.bsky.social on Tuesday 💙💛 It's a new look at how Egypt fit into the political economy of the Ottoman Empire and eastern Mediterranean.

Please enjoy the *beautiful* cover art by Mohamed Gohar (@mohamed.gohar on IG)

Hadn't heard of it before, but sounds interesting. I have also always lucid dreamt without instructions. (Genetic?)

Instead of asking chatgpt, why not ask a librarian? You'll get real answers and they won't tell you to kill yourself.

- bombing synagogues in Tehran in 2026

ugggh, it's true. Missing from this article is how they are pushed into it by societal forces. It's not completely their "fault" but the results are gonna be disastrous when no one can think.

Humpback whales perform an incredible bubble feeding spectacle right in front of a lodge in Canada. Witnessing this behavior is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Anton Chirrugh's a scary guy. We should do as he says.

Officially nothing left to look forward to in this world

Puffing Trump’s delusions about the economy as if they were on track until ten days ago is peak NYTimes soft-pedaling Trump’s furious unreality and both-sides-ing it with actual documentable reality

Never realized how historic the PKP RR was, starting as it did in 1652 and running until 999 years earlier!
