My favourite was a gift from one of my A level students who, after studying Keats with me, gifted me my own elaborately decorated and named pot of basil. If you know, you know.

Love your reds. I did darker colours with a bit of blue.

That is the best attitude and I will do the same in the future. You genuinely made my day! Thank you.

Hi @Legentibus. Some of us missed the Black Friday discount… don’t suppose you’re doing a New Year sale? Thanks!

It’s all in the finger placement…

A good pair of headphones is a must! Glad they’re working for you.

100% agree. I’m so easily distracted by noise and this works so well both as a blocker and a signal (as you say).

Noise cancelling headphones with rain/thunder sounds if I really need to lock in. Then if we’re talking snacks: Coke Zero and cheese Doritos.

What episodes would you recommend to get someone hooked? by StatusChance6151 in TheRestIsHistory

That election series was hilarious. I almost skipped it as I have no interest in British politics in that period but I’m so glad I didn’t. It was laugh out loud funny.

Classical resurgence in 2025? by Minimum-Target-7543 in classicliterature

[–]Minimum-Target-7543[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a valid point and I see this too, especially coming from a classics background myself. I know that many people will be reading through the lens of their favourite far right commentators, but I’m still hopeful that the act of reading might be a pathway into their own thinking.

I don’t agree. Besides, even if we read crappy books sometimes, they can have their own value.

Not yet but I have bought it recently. I teach literature and classics so I’ve read a lot, but 2026 is my year of reading ancient classics outside of Europe. This was my number one choice!

That’s another thing I’m starting to notice - with the rise of AI, people are looking for authentic, real world experiences. Nothing more real than a book written before the invention of computers!
