And don't miss the fireside book recommendation, which is

Also, in case anyone missed it, modest changes to the ACOUP Patreon: a new tier 'patres et matres conscripti' has been added. They get all of the same things as the amici, but also get to suggest/vote for questions and topics to appear on the blog.https://www.patreon.com/user?u=20122096
