One day I’m probably going to fondly remember that I wrote my first teaching syllabi while 5.5 wks postpartum and having to take breaks every 2 hrs to nurse but today I feel like I just get going and blink and then I’m nursing again. 😵‍💫

I really enjoy Brandon Sanderson’s writing. Normally I recommend starting with his Mistborn trilogy.

A truly great 🧵 on the how you have to train to be a good writer and thinker just like an athlete has to train for competition.

Does anyone have a Greek epigraphy reading list that they'd be willing to share? We have a grad student who is interested in complementing their work in Latin epigraphy, and while I've done some work on inscriptions, I am certainly not an epigrapher! Image for visibility...

I’d also recommend D. Clint Burnett’s Studying the New Testament through Inscriptions. While tailored forwards New Testament studies, Burnett does an excellent job of introducing the reader to Greek epigraphy and resources.

Bethany Grainger @bethanyjoanna.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

It’s definitely on the more technical side, but should be good for a graduate student.

My go to source is B. H. McLean’s An Introduction to Greek Epigraphy of the Hellenistic and Roman Periods from Alexander the Great down to the Reign of Constantine (323 B.C.–A.D. 337)

Anyone know how to add these small square open brackets (highlighted) to a Word document on a Mac? I’ve tried everything I know and am at a loss. Who knew when working with inscriptions one of the harder things would be adding diacritical marks? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Inscription images are my favorite. So fun to actually see what we’re writing about!
