In discussions about Genesis with my 5-year-old theologian she shared that of course the result of the curse is that boys are annoying and disruptive in class. She produced a lot of persuasive evidence

Amazing how often I have to reassure our American students that Australia is not nearly as full of dangerous creatures as they imagine! Relax! In unrelated news, a spider ran out of my trouser leg this morning just as I was putting them on.

Anyone else get to about now and realise that they’ve scheduled all the meetings with no time left to actually attend any sessions?? #sblaar

Without doubt the most powerful and deeply thoughtful late night interview I’ve ever seen. Whoa. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8qm...

Went to the book launch of @andyjudd.bsky.social on Monday. It was a real treat and a great book. Plus going for beers after 🍻 As they say, scholars who drink together something something
