Lighting in the attic bedroom isn’t great so had to stop The Tenant of Wildfell Hall with 70 pages to go.
Backlit Kobo and Patricia Cornwell for the win.

Who Needs #Empathy? Why Some White Nationalists Condemn Western Civilization
The answer should remind us that men like #Musk don’t base their political positions on the ancient world any more than they do on smart economic policy: they create an ancient world that conforms to their political positions. …"

The #classics are just that for a reason!
I don't work on ancient sculptural #polychromy (or ancient art at all for that matter), so it's not surprising if I'm clueless on scholarly discussion of the problem @yora points out in this post: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@yora/114400410044185691
But maybe somebody in my network is?
To paraphrase Yora: given the coloristic(?) sophistication of e.g., surviving wall painting from Pompeii and Roman-era mummy portraits from Egypt and much else ancient art, aren't modern reconstructions of sculptural polychromy wildly simplistic and is that partly because we're only able to sample, when anything of the pigment remains at all, the initial undercoat?

By way of @rogueclassicist and Chuck Jones' Ancient World Online (AWOL) blog, I see that this open-access ebook (available also in print) is now available:
Sarah Derbew, Daniel Orrells, and Phiroze Vasunia, eds. Classics and Race: A Historical Reader. London: UCL Press, 2025. https://doi.org/10.14324/111.9781800088139.
"... provides scholars and students with an exploratory intellectual history of the complex relationships between Classics and racist/anti-racist thought-systems. It collects together a series of readings of historical primary sources from the late medieval period until the mid-twentieth century, bringing to light how the classical tradition and post-ancient constructions of race have informed each other. Each reading is accompanied by an essay, written by a leading specialist who offers a discussion of the primary source..."

I'm a long way off retirement (a looooong way) but I can see myself adding a degree in #Classics to my portfolio when I get there - and if my final dissertation can focus on Jocasta, so much the better because I find her endlessly compelling.
