Caught by my own bot!
At @jdriven our core DNA is passion for technology and sharing knowledge. I took the opportunity to dive back into the code myself and solve our fragmented social media puzzle.
Building this omnichannel syndication bot using #Deno, #TypeScript, and #Slack was a great reminder of why I love this field: get my hands dirty again and learn new stuff.

Weil ich gerade dabei bin, mein schulisches Latein und Altgriechisch aufzufrischen ;-) Dieser Stein - so gesehen im Kunsthistorischen Museum Wien - beinhaltet eine zweisprachige Bauinschrift.
Was ich erkenne:
IMP CAESAR DIVI F AUGUST PONTIF
MAXIM FLUMEN SEBASTONAS CHEDIA INDUXIT
QUOD PER SE TOTO OPPIDO FLUERET, PRAEFECTA EGYPTI
C IULIO AQUILA, ANNO XXXX CAESARIS
ΑΥΤΟΚΡΑΤΩΡ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ ΘΕΟΥ ΥΙΟΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤ ΑΡΧΙΕΡΕΥΣ
ΠΟΤΑΜΟΝ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΩΝΑΠΟΣΧΕΔΙΑΣHΓΑΓΕΝ
ΔΙΟΛΗΣΤΗΣΠΟΛΕΩΣΡΕΟΝΤΑ ΕΠΙΕΠΑΡΧΟΥ
ΤΗΣ ΑΙΓΥΠΤΟΥ ΓΑΙΟΥ ΙΟΥΛΙΟΥ ΑΚΥΛΑI
LΜ ΚΑΙΣΑΡΟΣ
Interessant zu lernen war für mich hier, dass sehr oft abgekürzt worden ist - was mich zuerst etwas verwirrt hat.
Das heißt übersetzt wohl etwas wie:
Der Imperator Caesar Augustus, Sohn des Gottes, oberster Priester,
leitete/führte den Fluss Sebastona nach Chedia,
damit er von selbst durch die ganze Stadt flösse,
unter dem Präfekten von Ägypten Gaius Iulius Aquila,
im 40. Jahr des Kaisers.
=> an alle, die es besser wissen: bitte um Verbesserungen und Hinweise! Danke :-)

I don’t consider myself "smart," just deeply curious. I’ve spent years revisiting the same works in science and Scripture because, as Mortimer Adler said, being "well-read" is about depth, not just volume. Like my friend Robert Weyer used to say, true learning takes time. 📚✨

Dreading the January onslaught of messages demanding that you “fix” your body so it conforms to an unrealistic ideal based on racism?
Interested in hearing from under-represented voices in public health that share different messages?
Announcing the Shared Stories Society!
Starting January 16 join me online Friday afternoons from 3-4:30pm Pacific Time for “media club”. This program invites participants to explore under represented voices in public health. We will examine books, zines, and more across the year. Each session will include time for grounding and self-reflection in addition to group discussion of the materials.
January through February we’ll be reading Aubrey Gordon’s book, “What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat”, and learn how anti-fat bias harms not only fat people, but thin people as well.
While this is listed as being for adults 60+, if you’re an adult younger than 60 and want to participate, please sign up anyway! We’ve officially expanded it to 40+, but if this is what you need and over 20, consider joining, just know the conversation may be biased to post-menopausal people.
