Last night in bed I was wondering whether anyone studies the Phrygian language and where, and it turned out to be just in time to listen to someone's PhD at Leiden. What a niche and beautiful topic to study!

A Historical Grammar of Phrygian
Prof.dr. A. Lubotsky Prof.dr. A. Kloekhorst Summary The dissertation serves as the first full comprehensive grammar of the Phrygian language, which was spoken in central Anatolia from the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE to the middle of the 1st millennium CE and is attested in a total of about 500…

The only difference between the British far left and far right is who has already been discovered to be on the FSB payroll.
Sharing my latest article on blood donation and transfusion systems in Yugoslavia (open access). It is quite niche, but I really enjoyed writing this one. Published in Contemporary European History, Cambridge University Press.
4 years ago, that genocidal and terrorist political entity called Russia launched a full scale invasion of Ukraine. They thought they would win in 3 days...
Ukraine still stands tall and free! 🇺🇦
Good to see our federal government committing another $2B!

Canada is donating an additional $2 billion of military equipment, including more than 400 armoured vehicles, to Ukraine as the embattled Eastern European country's war with Russia rolls into its fifth year.
Kudos to the Italians for both the opening and the closing ceremonies. They were done with great taste! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
And pox on CBC Gem for the ads 👎
