Saturday vinyl!

Fucking hell.

Hello, I am in this picture and I don't like it.

Ever seen this Kent State pic? Probably never. Their narrative is to show you how you might get killed. Not that Resistance is possible. The Dorm at Kent the morning after. Ps. We shut down their dirty war, and we did it together with peaceful and violent resistance. Neither by itself works.

In 2019, we published #TWC31, a special issue on Fan Fiction and Ancient Scribal Cultures guest-edited by Frauke Uhlenbruch and Sonja Ammann! This special issue explores the potential of fan fiction as an interpretative model to study ancient religious texts. Explore it here:

Scott accidentally bought alcohol-less beer. Which he also got carded for. Anyhow I keep randomly going "WHEAT JUICE!" because that is who I am.
