Scholars, do your thing. I've signed up to lecture & so should you. Over 47000 students are enrolled for classes. This project needs experts in every field to teach university level courses. Email your areas of expertise, qualifications & be ready.

The issue here is not that a committee is formed (or for ex., a Pal Studies dept. Is endowed), the issue is that these are not “wins” and casting it as such is dishonest/unproductive for the movement! The challenge many camps face now is ending with power and with transparency🧵

P.S. A quick reminder that the CAWS book is completely open access (i.e. available for free online), so you don't have to rely on anyone else's 'reading' (I think this is a generous term for certain engagements) you can just read it for yourself: taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/…

All performances from our first in-person event 'Ancient Queerstories: New Stages for Old Tales' can be now found online! Check them out on our website, or on our youtube channel: - queerandtheclassical.org/events - youtube.com/watch?v=CgzxxF… Thanks again to our cast and attendees 🌟

Come join us tomorrow, either online or in person! 🌟 Livestream: youtube.com/watch?v=xpckHc… Tickets: outsavvy.com/event/18801/an…

i'm so excited to say that our queer ancient worlds drag and cabaret night with @queerclassical is going to be livestreamed! if you can't make it, but want to pop in for a bit to catch some amazing performance, join us here **starting at 7:30pm gmt** youtube.com/live/xpckHc-xF…

Our second host is Izzy Okay! Mild-mannered Classicist by day, Izzy metamorphoses into an animate tragedy mask as soon as you scribble a little mustache onto his upper lip. His drag blends memes & mythology, humor & heartache, and each act will leave you wondering — Izzy Okay?

Our first host is the [insert Homeric epithet] Dionysos Slain! Dionysos is a 21st century lesbian’s idea of a 90s queer theorist’s idea of a decadent Victorian poet’s idea of a debauched 18th century painter’s idea of an Ancient Greek god. Follow him here: instagram.com/dionysosslain

Gaza and Palestine have proven how hollow and empty the words humanitarian and activist are when applied to celebrities, politicians, and academics.
