DIANA PANEM AMAT

Current undergraduate and triple major in History, Ancient History and Classical Civilizations, and Classics. Proud fútbol fan of AS Roma. I usually spend my nights reading books, studying Latin and Greek, or exhausting myself over an endless amount of homework. Currently able to struggle through Spanish, Latin, and Ancient Greek.

The librarian sharing the stories of our medieval past

Alexander Devine is captivated by all things medieval. He’s a librarian at the Parker Library, a stunning collection of early manuscripts at Corpus Christi College. The stories they tell are still being discovered.

Wonderful things happen when you engage with the public. Last autumn a visitor identified a decorative motif on an oak chest as likely to be moonwort. He’d come to see the Library during Open Cambridge and was looking intently at the Billingford Hutch — a massive chest that’s been in the possession of the College since around 1420. Read on

okay kids, time to reiterate this:

* you can like popular books and shout your love for them, without judgement * you can dislike popular books and shout your dislike for them, without judgement * basically, you’re allowed to have whatever opinions you want about books, but so can others and we should be respectful of other people’s opinions * you can like a book despite certain problematic elements it may have (yes, I said it), just remember to acknowledge, listen and draw attention towards those problematic elements * just read whatever the fuck you want and please, for the love of all that is bookishly holy, never feel like you can’t talk about your love of books for whatever reason

thank you good day

How Ancient Rome Is Going High-Tech

Historical monuments are introducing tours and shows that use innovative technology to recreate the past.

“Historical monuments are introducing tours and shows that use innovative technology to recreate the past.”

“I always thought this was the perfect place for this,” says Dr. Marina Piranomonte, brandishing a headset that looks like it belongs to a member of Daft Punk. “This is one of the most cannibalized sites in Rome. So when you’re taking people around, you have to do this tiresome explanation of, ‘What was here is now in Naples; this part is in Pisa. And people don’t understand—it’s just too much for them to grasp.”

my archaeology professor deliberately makes his lecture slides be mostly just pictures so people (like me right now) cant miss lecture and just read the lecture slides instead but honestly it comes across just looking like a giant shitpost

ah yes last week’s lesson plan was [magazine cover from 1914] [a bunch of blurry photos from fieldwork] [an drawing of where stuff is in a site for spatial analysis except nothing is labelled so it’s just shapes] [some lithics] [a cartoon of birds pooping on each other] [tikal] [a mountain lion]

[dianapanemamat]

My professors would do this too. It drive me nuts when I was sick (chronic illness) and HAD to miss class.

Like, sir, these notes are just 20 pics poorly oriented on three power point slides.
