Yesterday I was teaching about how ancient mythology was not the same as when we say "myth" colloquially, as in 10 Myths About X posts, and lo, these are literal myths. Well played, Classics Library

Good morning to griffin lovers! News broke today that the famed 7thC BCE bronze griffin head now at the Met will be returned to Greece. It was likely taken from Olympia in the 1930s. Read the 🎁 article: this is the power of provenance research. Handover Ceremony is today in NYC.

LOL, also, I almost owe my laundry basket an acknowledgment in my book. Stuck on a particularly thorny passage? Go fold some laundry and think on it a bit.

Friendly reminder that when you see somebody's weekend bookstack not to feel bad that you're not reading that much. I'm lucky if I get in a few pages of two or three of these between grading and basketball games and book edits this weekend. #booksky

I finished reading Wicked last night. It was my first read through. I didn't read it in high school when the musical was big, so I read it now. It was enjoyable, weird, slow (took me two months), and grotesque. (1/2) #booksky #amreading

This is awesome and now I want to write one too! Except mine would be called The Disciples' Scripture and that doesn't sound nearly as fun.

Love watching students' faces as they read Peter Lombard and work out the logical (sexual) implications of human marriage signifying the union of Christ and the church 😆 #medievalsky

Things that brightened my birthday: chocolate strawberry latte from Tim Horton's, getting an Umbreon in the McD's Pokémon cards pack from a student, the radio saying I share my birthday with Justin Timberlake, these personalization stickers that came with my gift 🎁

I'm curious about this dragon the flies around between the sun and the moon creating eclipses. What will this do for Stephen's adventure of manipulating the spheres with music? #amwriting #historicalfantasy #medieval

“I thought the AI chatbots would do a lot better,” said del Rio-Chanona, corresponding author of the study and assistant professor at University College London. “History is often viewed as facts, but sometimes interpretation is necessary to make sense of it.”

Midterm project was for students to create their own sacraments of healing. Loved seeing their engagement with scripture as they imagined how different sacraments might have evolved out of the different things Jesus said and did in the gospels.
