I'll be talking Savathûn in #destiny2 at #PAXEast this week with the Psychgeist folks! Come join us (or maybe hop on the stream - I think we will be on it? More soon) and find out if we did or did not throw enough grenades. #archaeogaming #classicalreception 🏺

Can we take a sec and talk about how flawlessly this design works on a pregnant body? It goes beyond hiding the belly (let's wear a sheet!) or clinging to it (anti-sheet!). It accentuates and compliments it the same as the rest of her body. This outfit is tailored to her as a whole person. #metgala

FINALLY I'VE BEEN SCROLLING FOR THIS FOR 20 MINUTES BECAUSE I FORGOT TO SAVE IT. So tall. Hat-ception. Amazing. #metgala

Why does it look like she spent an entire day getting tricked out and then rented a hobbit for the evening (She looks fabulous) #metgala

Addition to the favorite hat list, and the start of a favorite head sized flower list. #metgala

Pretty sure I saw him in Metaphor ReFantazio. You don't want to be around when he hits final phase. #metgala

The Met Gala raises money to support the Met's Costume Institute, the only Met department that must entirely support itself (which is its own worthy subject of conversation). The Met's Costume Institute is an ongoing marvel.

Another fabulous look for the JRPG books. #metgala

Obviously he looks great, but if he was in a JRPG you can bet he'd have some killer lore. You can't have that many watches on you without being a plot point. #metgala

Jeff Goldblum has two modes at this point: black and white or extreme color. Somehow he pulls off both. #metgala

I want to see a video of this. Is Janelle walking? Are they carried a la Man Who Sold the World Bowie? Seriously love this. #metgala

I can't wait for the update where Google tells us the brains sprout legs and demand we go to the helm.

We need EVERYONE to see this advert for a Head of Operations at the Palace (£40-45k). Otherwise we might get some kind of numpty in charge. Please share. If we get 50 shares we'll post a video of #CuratorRob playing a hoover like a didgeridoo. hr.breathehr.com/recruitment/...

So who all is going to PAX East this year?

So relieved to see that Mellon will be providing emergency relief funding the US’s state and jurisdictional humanities councils. If I learned one thing during my years at NEH, it was how crucial these organizations are to our public humanities infrastructure. www.mellon.org/news/america...

NEH Grantees with Terminated Grants--the 30 day window for appeal is almost here. If your DOGE termination letter is dated April 2, then it is recommended to submit via eGMS by May 1. Having spoken w/ a number of sources, here's the best info I could gather on appealing your grant termination.

I'll be doing a talk about translating the Iliad in NYC on May 9th. I'll discuss gaps between ancient and modern ideas about violence, humanity and heroism. Free and open to all! hunter.cuny.edu/event/emily-...

Subtweet: for all of wiki's faults, it is a peer-reviewed platform that has checks and citations which users can verify. AI pulls from a predetermined set of data, which may or may not be accurate, and asks you to take it as fact from the start. They are very different.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Honestly, props to Diablo for having the most appropriate IP collab ever. I hope the Berserk event lives up to the hype.

If your loans go into debt collection, remember the onus is on the collector to prove that the loans are legally yours. Often collectors rely on intimidation. No paperwork, no signature, no payment.

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real. When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains. Zoom in if you're strung out🌿

Sushi update: he stole a teabag from my desk and made me chase him all the way to a specific drawer, where we keep his favorite wand toy. Well played, cat.
