a deep dive
this is a belated crosspost but i still wanted to share the link here! i had sososo much fun digging into the wildly smart and wildly chaotic poem that is catullus 16. thanks for tagging along for another entry in my yapping about catullus series :')
existing online in the era of the content machine
i know most people here started following me + got to know me through fandom spaces. i wrote this because i've been having a difficult time (even 10 months later!) reconciling myself with last year's mass deletion event, and i debated whether or not to post but whatever. here it is. i honestly didn’t think i’d ever talk about this and even here i’m skirting around it, but it’s still more than i once expected to put out there. thanks to everyone who supported me for so long + especially to the friends still supporting me now 💛
and a serious & silly roman q&a
in the newsletter today: clearing up some misconceptions about the ides of march, plus the romans q&a! if you have seen that post on here that said “i’m taking the ides of march away from this site until you guys understand anything about roman history” and thought to yourself “but i DON’T understand anything about roman history,” this is the newsletter for you. also, i talk about phallic art for a hot minute
i know most people followed me here for fandom content and not for roman history yapping... but i am doing a fun little q&a in my substack for the ides of march!! if you are so inclined, you can ask me silly rome questions or (alternatively) rome-related questions that you've been curious about. no connection to the ides of march event required. please hit me with 'em and give me free rein to yap further

seems like we're all feeling the january blues 🫂 your letter couldn't have come at a better time. just yesterday i shared similar conversations with both friends and co-workers, and by the fortunate timing of your substack post, it feels like i got yet another glimps into the matter.
the quotes you shared comforted me more so because they are among the quotes/art i reach for when i'm wrapped up in sadness. just the coincidence alone made me smile a little, despite.
thank you for sharing!
wishing you a gentle new year!
thank YOU for such a kind note!! i'm so sorry you've been feeling similarly but still glad the essay was able to resonate with you — i think my favorite part of doing this substack has been connecting with others in a way that feels more vulnerable & personal than i'm used to. and i am especially glad that you found comfort in the quotes! i loooooove collecting little pieces of literature and clinging to them in moments of sadness, not necessarily as a healing tool but just to help me feel less alone. definitely much more of that to come :')
i hope this year brings much gentleness & kindness to you, too.
hiiii <3 i've been enjoying your newsletter immensely. my sister is also passionate about latin (she hasn't turned it into a professional hobby like you; but she enjoys playing with it and exploring the language, tracing the tongue she speaks to its latin roots and back) so i'm somewhat familiar with it, if only as an outsider. especially your current newsletter musing on how thin the veil is between heartache and joy regarding the things you spent your time with, like hobbies, speaks to me. just wanted to drop by and let you know hah! (: <3
ahhh thank you so much! writing the newsletter is still so new to me and i'm glad to hear that it's resonating with folks, in any and all ways :')
hi friends! i have an announcement: i now have a substack! you can subscribe to DEAD LANGUAGES, & OTHER TRAGEDIES using the link below :')
things you can expect to read about from me there:
roman history, especially the late republic and early empire
latin literature and the translation of it
personal essays on solitude, grief, and day-to-day life
i really do not have a solid plan for what i’m doing with this newsletter, and also i don't yet have a set schedule for posting—but i am hoping to write at least one post a month. above all i’m just there to have fun, to get back into writing, and maybe to have a little emotional crisis that i can write about and share with strangers on the world wide web. if you learn something about a dead roman or find something that resonates with you along the way—even better! i’m glad to have you there.
