Hi 👋
We’ll be leaving Twitter in a month.
This is due to the unhealthy rightward drift of the platform, but also the tangible negative impact that its leadership has on the world. We don’t want to line those pockets.
We’ll leave this account up and be active on others. 👇

Worth saying that this is where we built our network, where we found writers and friends and colleagues. We started here and were so grateful to all of you.
It’s so sad to be leaving but we’re still going to be doing our thing. Come and find us

This is our last weekend on here! Please do check our pinned tweet for details.
And thank you all for all your support over the last 4 years. We’ve got some really great things planned for the rest of 2025 so do keep an eye on us elsewhere!

It’s a sad moment for us, but we’ve always tried to do the right thing and this is no different.
We’ll miss anyone who we might end up leaving behind. But we’ll still be working as hard as ever on our site and other social networks. Just not this one.

We’ve just posted a load of starter pack suggestions on that site we can’t name here, so if you’re not there yet it might be a useful jumping off point.
It was quiet and slow at first but we’re loving it now!

Not sure how many folks still use this platform, but I hope you will share notice of a new scheme designed to spur interest in Classics in the state sector, with help from friends at Glasgow Academy.
Places in N5 Latin, Higher and Adv Higher Classical Studies classes available!
