My current contract's going to be up at the end of June so I'm looking to line up commissions or other freelance work if you need a writer or editor. There's a link to my website in my profile, which has my bio and a brief portfolio of my work.

You remember too much, my mother said to me recently. Why hold onto all that? And I said, Where can I put it down? —Anne Carson, from "The Glass Essay"

A shout out to my followers, and anyone else who might know. I'm looking for someone who knows about safe sleeping for infants, SIDS, that kind of area of expertise. DMs are open. Please get in touch. It's for quite an important thing.

I love this poem even more now I've grown old and achy when I get such days as Czeslaw describes here, though it's usually the Eccup Reservoir rather than blue sea and sails.

edithmayhall and @ProfArleneHH have always been passionate advocates of the revolutionary power of a classical education. That’s why they founded @ClassCivAncHist. Prison education is proven to reduce rates of recidivism – and Classics can play an important part in that
