Welcome if you've come from elsewhere on the internet, you may already know me, but if you're just here from random searching and stumbled onto my little corner of the internet, then welcome! You can call me crow , and I'm an Ancient Historian, visual artist and writer with a special interest in material culture from Ancient Greece and Rome (especially pottery and textiles).

I have Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), more commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which has made life in general not so much fun as I had been expecting when I was a kid, but I've been trying my best to make the most of it. Somehow in my adult life I have managed to collect two undergraduate degrees and a postgraduate degree, one in visual arts and two in ancient history. I'm currently attempting to go for a third in ancient history, this time doing my best to apply for PhD positions whenever I am able to.

I'm hoping that I can at least be somewhat present on here, as it has been an incredibly long time since I've done any coding whatsoever.
