Toddler : “do Witches exist?”
Husband, a law professor: “of course not”
Me, someone in religious studies: “well, actually…” *proceeds to listing all the Pagan and Wiccan practitioners I’ve met in my life

Just got an email saying that mothers with 2 kids or more will get a monthly bonus of FORTY EUROS and I'm like wow! That's really what I needed to take the decision of having a second child!

I love how people in Colorado spoke to me in Spanish because they saw I was a foreigner, and in Barcelona they speak to me in Catalan because they think I'm from here.

Are Christians a minority?
In my work, I find online narratives of Christians describing themselves as "minorities"
However, in Europe and North America, Christians remain the majority of the population, even if the number of religious people is declining.

I’m listening to an incredible talk on the Global South at cccb Barcelona.
It’s discussed how “philosophy” is only considered as “western philosophy”. It comes to mind when I was in high school and I loved philosophy, and my professor told me there’s no philosophy outside Europe, only religion.

Now that I'm doing fieldwork in Spain, turns out that the endless hours spent listening to Ricky Martin as a teenager weren't all wasted.
Too bad his songs were about Maria being hot and cold and not about women who consider Maria a model of womanhood

Me: “no, but… I’m an academic and I cannot be 100% sure all of my colleagues aren’t mummies”

Once I found a scholar I despised. So I did what was right to do: I connected with one of their PhD students who also despised them & was mistreated by them and I helped this student building a fabulous career far from (and despite) the despicable scholar. & I made sure the scholar knew.

Can the Catholic mass be online?
Yes... and no.
Yes because it's ok to receive the blessing through broadcasting - and this includes also the Internet. I grew up with people watching the Pope saying mass on TV

I’m convinced Spain is exactly the same as Italy but it’s all a bit more progressive (for women, lgbtq+…)
