Apparently wanting to open/use Zoom for the final hieroglyphs class was too much for the pokey Devon internet. Alas... 🫠

Always make friends with your hosts because they’ll introduce you to all the farm animals and show you Roman coins found on their land. Goddammit this profession is so fun sometimes.

I have both survived and enjoyed a 2 day adventure through Devon and Cornwall! Moors were seen, as were sheep, castles and an endless number of exceedingly cute English towns. Returning to favorite spots 20 yrs later and also seeing new spots has been so much fun. Now: we dig.

London museum folks! I will be in your land in October. Who wants to meetup and/or potentially collaborate on some videos? Thinking of checking out the Petrie Museum (haven't been since 2008), Natural History Museum (never been!) and maybe the BM (always love to see old friends/favs)?

More HBO Rome. Each season can be a specific dynasty or emperor if it's one of the more drama-filled ones and it'll take us through the Severan dynasty. Maybe we can do the crisis of the 3rd century as a treat.

Ok Odyssey (1997) part 2 here we go! When last we left, everything was on fire. Now, everything is still on fire. Such are things in this specific version of the underworld. The goat hasn’t even been sacrificed yet.

Right. Steak and martini time, followed by Odyssey (1997) part 2 viewing time.

Attention Ecologists! We are going to need *a lot* of ecologists. The First Lego League Teams need to speak with a scientist about their projects every year. Every year it's a different type of scientist. Last year was archaeologists. This year, ecologists! Sign up: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

A fish is a teacher, wearing a button-up shirt with a collar. He says "Volunteer to speak with classrooms in front of a chalkboard that says "Skype a scientist needs YOU!". A snail on his desk says Help! And a shrimp says "Lego league is coming!" and a nervous seahorse says "this year's theme is ecosystems"

Which viewing option pairs best with shawarma fries? 1) Catching up on House of the Dragon 2) The Odyssey (1997) with Armand Asante and Vanessa Williams

Just adding to this because I was recently exploring PhD fees and for international/distance students they're seriously asking for £12-21K per year 🫠 www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Very happy to have transitioned from Odyssey-related topics to Roman-related topics for the week...and probably next week too. Everyone's still very hyped about Pompeii and I am very hyped to be able to talk about Roman things.

One of the main complaints I've seen about Pompeii: Out of Time is that the expert interactions felt too scripted. Boy, do I have bad news for all of you about nearly every documentary you've ever watched!
