We still reviewing this dude’s stuff in big 2025???

Why are we even seeing dude’s name pop up? I shouldn’t even see dude’s name in my email notifications. Why is dude still being published? How does dude still have a platform? We really separating the scholar from the scholarship in 2025? What a joke.

Shout out to @dominicmachado.bsky.social for making my visit to Holy Cross so enjoyable and enriching!

Well. It’s official. You can now submit your proposals to the New Perspectives on Ancient Greek Religion book series, published by Edinburgh University Press! #ClassicsBluesky 🏺

"A review written in transparent prose can be translated via Google or Deepl with great accuracy" Not sure whether forcing your colleagues to use AI just because language skills among Anlophones is collapsing is really a good look. bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2025/2025.05...

My fellow academics, do y’all ever move around your house to get a change of pace while working? For example, I’ll go from working at my actually office at home to the table in the dining room or to the couch. Though the couch is dangerous sometimes 😂

I 100000% recommend watching this movie. It’s easily a 9.5/10. I would say it’s almost as good as Get Out (if you haven’t seen Get Out I cannot help you). Ryan Coogler’s best film to date!

woo hoo! This is such an amazing program. Taking applications now!

Man this guy talks with hands a lot. 😂😂

Along with re-branding their EDIB Office as a capitulation to segregationists, Harvard’s also not funding affinity group celebrations preceding graduation for Arab, Black, Indigenous, Latine, FGLI, Asian American/Pacific Islander, and Desi students www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Proofs! Excited for this to appear in the forthcoming volume “Writing, Enslavement, and Power”

Going to be a very important book. Mark my words.

It is my immense privilege to share this particular proofs day! For @platanoclassics.bsky.social and I’s chapter! Will be happy to share when it’s appropriate to do so!

I have now finished all of my PhD exams and can finally turn fully to the dissertation stage. 8 exams later we are finally here!!! 😭😭😭🥃

So I am working over the Easter weekend....but frankly it is a real pleasure to review this book on #Women and the #RomanArmy for the #TRAJ. Brilliant scholarship and highly readable. Congratulations. #ancientbluesky

Guys if you write about slavery don’t write about it like this…

AABB welcomes authors who have published academic books as well! We've even got an affinity group for you. The Trump administration is attacking all aspects of the book world, so we have to mobilize together to fight back.

It’s here! So immensely proud of this volume and privileged to have worked alongside some fantastic scholars. Thanks so much to @christycobb.bsky.social @katherineshaner for inviting me to do this!!

Paging all my biblical and religious studies scholars. Has there been any more recent treatment on slavery in the Hebrew Bible?

Got the copy edits….. can’t wait to share this chapter when it’s time.

I miss when Springbreak was actually a break 😂

500 words a day. I can do this….

Tomorrow is the WCC’s virtual conference! Should be good! The program looks great! www.wccclassics.org/wcc-virtual-...

Random question but dear fellow academics… do you prefer working from home, working from the office, or working at a tertiary location (coffee shop, library, etc.) please feel free to comment!

Does anyone know of a list of all jurists mentioned (*not* just those excerpted) in the Digest?

Catch @chancebonar.bsky.social and I here: www.eerdmans.com/978080288413...

Anyone know of a good general treatment on the Siete Partidas?

Now I’ve got to complete anti DEI training. Wooo I love Texas……

When I asked her to help me “clean up this article” that’s not what I meant.

about to start shortly! #AIASCS

Come see the slavery panel at the AIA/SCS today from 2-5. I’ll be presenting a cool paper with @platanoclassics.bsky.social

I’ve got a ridiculous amount of @rheaclassical.bsky.social stickers to hand out at AIA-SCS. Please help take these off my hands if you run into me this weekend. Better yet, grab a few for your friends!

Dang the AIA/SCS fomo is hitting like a truck.

Hope everyone has a great SCS! I’ll be at some of the hybrid stuff and will be presenting from home. Hopefully I’ll get to catch yall at next years meeting.

From Jennifer Morgan’s “Reckoning with Slavery.”

Finally submitted the final draft of this chapter for an awesome looking volume. This chapter means so much to me and I can’t wait to share more of it when the time is right!! And finishing this was a reminder for me that I really do love what I do.

HEY YOU GUYS I HAVE EXTREMELY EXCITING NEWS!!! I'M TENURED!!!!!!!

The out of office reply now on my NYU email:

My review of David Mattingly's amazing survey of ancient North Africa, just out in Libyan Studies: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

After 4 years, today I finally submitted my PhD thesis! It's been a long time in the making, and I'm certainly looking forward to a rest over Christmas 😴

One of the top 5 Pixar movie moments has to be when Anton Ego bites into the ratatouille. (Terrible quality gif incoming)

Finally seeing it in the flesh! It weighs a ton!

Proofs day!
