the fun thing about doing pop culture research is i can go from reading a romance book with a demon in it to watching Journey to Bethlehem and both of these things are research for me 😂

How I know i’ve made it to the right section: priests in space and Ao3 on the slides @kpacyniak.bsky.social

religion nerds and romance nerds, I'm starting a new project on the bible and romance novels and was thinking about starting up a lil book club to chat about the overlap with other people, if this is something you'd be interested in (or if you just have books you think we should read) please lmk!!

things that are exciting: starting a new project things that are less exciting: still having the "turn-the-dissertation-into-a-book" item on my to-do list

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

i’m still not sure the writers for Daredevil Born Again really get his character if they’re gonna just completely leave aside his catholicism. like it’s a core part of the character ?? we’ve gone four episodes and have yet to see the inside of a church 😒

if you’re a religion nerd and a daredevil nerd and have watched the new season stuff please slide into my DMs i need to yell

Cool event for the comics nerds happening next week !

i don’t find the “i work 80+ hours a week” rhetoric to be impressive, awe-inspiring, or positive in any way (in any field). my first thought when i see these types of comments is more like “oh how sad, i wish that was not the case for you, may you get rest soon.”

the duality of my life is watching the usa/canada hockey game while also listening to a queer studies in religion keynote talk

i am quite positive a circle of hell is having to read the earliest diss chapters you wrote.

catch me trying to find any app except a meta owned one to fill the void that Tiktok has left in my phone use.

The next four years are going to be insufferable

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

also! reposting from the Students in the Profession Committee twitter, come check out these opportunities today!!
