Lots to unpack here, but I’ll just say: The U.S., which has won innumerable military victories, messed with Canada once. In response, they marched on our country and burned the White House to the ground. Not really a flannel-wearing bear I’d want to poke, tbh.

My work laptop just died, and campus tech support is closed for two weeks. I assume all this happened intentionally to make sure I wasn't distracted from the 12 days of Christmas? Looks like Christmas break is going to be an actual break...

Well, I gave my kind of wild, very experimental talk at #sblaar24 and no one threw etrogim (citrons) at me, so I'm going to count it as a success.

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. 1) a monograph on fetal personhood in the Babylonian Talmud. 2) A queer reading of the Babylonian incantation bowls.

right, so i want to profile ECRs in early christianity/late antiquity you should follow, in no particular order. follow @chancebonar.bsky.social. his work on slavery in the ancient world is really, really sharp and does some much-needed mythbusting. check out this teachable public-facing piece:

This Writing It! discussion with Laura Arnold Leibman was fantastic. Listen for Laura's usual mix of humor, honesty, and generosity, and wonderful tips on writing practice, responding to reviewers, and the importance of rest.
