I am from the Caribbean; I lived in Atlanta, Los Angeles County, and Brooklyn, and this heat here in Dublin is of the devil. Ireland was not made of this.

OMG, I like Ireland's cool and cold weather. I thought I promised not to complain about the cold, but why is it so hot?

Your reminder that fairy tales are full of stepmothers because women once routinely died in childbirth, from postpartum sepsis, or from other infectious diseases and left behind housefuls of motherless children. Stable nuclear families are made possible by vaccines, antibiotics, and safe abortions.

Wait, I feel Stephanie Meyer was inspired by the Buffy/Angelverse: a human in love with a vampire (Buffy and Angel) and a female vampire having a baby (Darla and Angel having a baby).

Do you work in late antiquity? Like church councils? Appreciate northwestern Anatolia? Then you should submit a paper for this Sept '26 online conference on Nicaea hosted by the SBL Greco-Roman Religions unit! www.samreligions.org/virtual-conf...

You see, these supporters of generative AI annoy me. Look, I have dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, vision problems (I am almost blind), and mental health issues (severe depression, anxiety, etc.). I don't generate ideas; I rewrite and rewrite several drafts, so if I don't use this thing, they shouldn't

What to read this summer by Mark Haddon, Samantha Harvey, Zadie Smith and more

When the Pope invites Bad Bunny to meet with him, you think that is so awesome! The Pope is drawing on his Caribbean roots ( the Pope has Haitian roots and Bad Bunny is from Puerto Rico) Bringing the LAC to be front and center.

Liberation theology came out of the Latin America and Caribbean region , particularly Catholic peeps from the LAC area. Ijs

"What does it mean to enter the land well and to form relationships? Since we all have entwined legacies, how can we live out these relationships in a way that builds rather than destroys?" sojo.net/magazine/apr...

"Also, if aliens truly possessed advanced cosmic technology, why would they choose pyramids? Why not invent indoor cooling? Or chairs that support the lower back?"

While,I consider myself a feminist in the way of Alice Walker, Audre Lord, Kimberle Crenshaw and Patricia Mohammed, I am drawn to womanism like a moth to a flame. It might that ITC education sinking in..

Random, just thinking I can count the Caribbean Biblical Scholars on my hand and I think I have met most of them....

It's hard to fathom how deeply evil this is, and that we have people running our country who get sick pleasure from sending women fleeing violence in Iran to an African country in the middle of a brutal civil war.

heartbreaking loss, grew up with buffy, loved him in ted lasso, but especially loved him as anthony stewart head, who did this

He helped raise me!

Anthony Stewert Head was one of those rare unproblematic white men, not one negative story. everyone no matter their race, gender, sex ,class etc and even the media have not one bad thing to say about him, except he was kind, loving, nice, an ally a mentor, a fatherfigure etc not one bad thing!

I no longer want a Buffy reboot or reunion movie. Buffy Summers without her "dad" amd sister would be wrong and depressing for Buffy! Rest in Peace Anthony Head
