Incredibly disappointed to hear about the degrees in Archaeology and Ancient History being cut at MQ University. So much for doing PhD study in those disciplines. Or for finishing the degree :/ #ClassicsTwitter #AncientHistory #Archaeology

Bachelor of Archaeology cut. Bachelor of Ancient History as well. Not happy MQ Uni.

Graduation day today! 🥳🥳🥳 Bachelor of Laws/Diploma of Legal Practice with First Class Honours. I wasn't able to make it to the ceremony unfortunately, but I still celebrated.😊.

@speechleyish It doesn't excise murder. I mean, my profession is dependant on the continuation of human suffering. Do I deserve to be shot?

@dani__brii I don't interview well anyway, so it is a moot point I guess 🤣

I have to do an interview for my current position, which will be extended to a full time position. I don't want a full time job. Can I just sabotage the interview lol?

At this year’s National Book Awards, the classicist, poet, and professor Anne Carson shared with us the author she recommends to everyone and the best writing advice she’s given.

@ChrisPGLW @star_observer Just stop being perpetually offended. Your life will be more positive. I guarantee it.

@star_observer Rather unfortunate choice of words. Police have shot innocent people. Have some respect

"During her 10 days of giving evidence, LN was sworn in as herself and later as the alternative identities — or alters — of a 13-year-old, a five-year-old, and an older woman. The case was the first of its kind in Australia". abc.net.au/news/2024-12-0… 1/2

I spent a lovely birthday at the Sydney Aquarium :) .

@dani__brii I love that one!

Happy Birthday to me :) .

Fascinating paper by Miroslav Barta. It explores the Old Kingdom solar inspiration for Akhenaten's Aten revolution. #ClassicsTwitter #Egyptology #archaeology academia.edu/125899877/Nius…

This is something that happened today. I have been awarded the Bachelor of Laws (Honours)/Diploma of Legal Practice with Class 1 honours!

Colin Renfrew - the passing of a giant in archaeology.

@MattLawsonPh @thelawcouncil This has nothing to do with the legal profession. Take this elsewhere please.

@thelawcouncil I really look forward to your response. The fact that the general public submitted 15,000 submissions in the 24 hour period means that public interest is extremely high and warrants an extended time for scrutiny of the bill. Would you agree?

The Law Council of Australia has condemned the rushed response to the decision of the High Court in YBFZ and called for the Migration Amendment Bill 2024 to be withdrawn. lawcouncil.au/media/media-re…

One of my favourite renditions. It is the last recorded performance of this song before Judy's death three months later. m.youtube.com/watch?v=fJGRL4…

@cyberfysh @NigelbroOTH @cathywilcox1 Older generation more so than the younger. It isn't so common now.

@NigelbroOTH @cathywilcox1 That's a sweeping generalisation accompanied by a single anecdote. Can you point to any research substantiating your claim that homosexuals are traditionally defenders of sexual abusers?

The recent looting of the Sudan National Museum is a sad event for Sudanese and world heritage. Macquarie archaeologists interviewed the director of musuems in Sudan, Ikhlas Abdel Latief to learn more. #archaeology #Sudan #museums theconversation.com/sudans-nationa…
