Sean🍁 @spiggles.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It's been a busy September! Since starting introductory Latin, I have come to realize how poorly I retained knowledge of my English grammar from middle school. Latīnum linguam nōn bene sciō, sed scīre volō. 120
Sean🍁 @spiggles.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Good morning everyone and happy Sunday! It's been humbling to return to the university I worked at for so many years, only now as a student.

Sean🍁 @spiggles.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It hasn't escaped me that most of the people of antiquity I admire, the Stoics, were old white men.
