Thread of all my currently published books! (1/x): First: "Unburning Fame: Horses, Dragons, Beings of Smoke, and Other Indo-European Motifs in Ugarit and the Hebrew Bible" (2017) and "Drought, Death, and the Sun in Ugarit and Ancient Israel: A Philological and Comparative Study" (2014)

The narrowing of what we imagine as "the liberal arts" to a subset of humanities subjects (literature, philosophy, art, etc.) should be rejected. The liberal arts in fact embrace *the whole range* of non-pre-professional subjects, including the natural sciences. That's the vision we should defend.

Spotify! 😁

You know that pose in Ancient Greek ceramics, like Archaic or even earlier, with the “goddesses” holding out their arms like wings? Maybe - hear me out- maybe they were standing in a gorgeous Crete beach like this and just loving existence and wishing they could fly. 😁🤗

Part 2: I love this Chopin etude opus 10 n 12. I cannot practice it often because a piano cover fell on my left hand my final year of music school- changed my trajectory, but not my love of music. I play 60 instruments but piano was my first love.

I’m an injured Classical pianist. I play 60 instruments but piano was my first love. Had a piano cover fall on my left hand my final year of music school- changed my trajectory, but not my love of music. When I do enough yoga & other string practice, I can play some good piano Chopin etude. 😊
