#TinyJoys managed a run during a rare window when it wasn't raining. The sky was gloriously clear and fresh AND I saw two muntjac while I was out.

I saw a lot of people reposting this image, which looks like a poorly thought through advert for the new film version of the Odyssey. But, as has since become apparent, it was not an authentic film poster, so let's do a quick thread on how to check. 1/5

Our friends at contubernales.bsky.social are having a sale which INCLUDES our new book A Periodic Table of Greek Mythology! Buying direct from Contubernales means we don't lose half the profit to fees and stuff like we do on other sites, which means more money toward our outreach projects.

#TinyJoys is realising that a thing you have written before can be repurposed for another thing you need to produce so you don’t have to do the Hard Thinking from scratch. 🎉

Wales deserves a strong capital university, one that trains its nurses; embraces the study of Religion and Theology and of Ancient History; teaches numerous languages, including music; one that does not reduce the Arts and Humanities to an irrelevance.

I will not post much on this topic, but I'm the Head of Ancient History and Religion at Cardiff University. Our staff and students are nothing short of amazing. Those who know me will know that I'm doing all I can.

#TinyJoys is booking a random midweek day off with no plans other than 'rest', whatever that looks like for you. (This is me today and I highly recommend it.)

In around 4 weeks’ time the first blossom will appear in the hedgerows. Cherry plum flowers (Prunus cerasifera) are delicate & unassuming but that subtle glimmer of white (sometimes pink) is perhaps the most beautiful as it marks the end of winter & the prospect of warmer days.

Less than a month until my book is out(!), but there was a lot I couldn't fit into the word count. I often add posts to my newsletter expanding on some of the evidence or artifacts I found in my research - so if you fancy a look at some of the global history of the ancient world, take a look.
