Grandpa told my 3yo Jesus was born in Africa and now she goes around saying his born in the Savannah with lions and giraffes and as someone doing a project on Catholicism I feel like I mildly failed something

Read all of the posts I love all of the dishes…
Hi Bluesky! I post on Greco-Roman (late) antiquity, metal music, & especially combinations thereof. 🏺🎸

My 1st book, "Julian Augustus" is out 26 September. Preorder here: global.oup.com/academic/pro...

Lastly, I'm undertaking a challenge to cook a dish from every country in alphabetical order. 🌍🍴

Yes I’m very committed to being a reviewer, but the journal sending me a review request on Christmas Eve was a bit much perhaps.

People do me a favor and go put your out of office in place before we all get stressed & pissed

Is the Bible feminist?

Well... no, but there are theologians and writer (like the Italian feminist Michela Murgia, for instance) who do feminist readings of the Bible.

This year I started planning emails sending at 8 am so people can imagine I’m already working that early and this alone makes me feel productive

Every time I read a study and I wonder "why don't they mention the country/context of this research? So confusing!" I then realize it's because the authors are from the U.S.

Let's talk about presepe, a nativity scene depicting the birth of Jesus that is common in many Catholic homes.

This is a religious depiction, but characters can get VERY strange. For example...

This is so interesting and reminds me of an argument @theguiltyfeminist.bsky.social makes in her book
discussed this in seminar yesterday, albeit with reference to “race science” generally. If you understand science as a historical phenomenon then the question is what was science then, not whether it would count as science now, and the implication is that what science is now is not forever, either
1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

Went to the post office to ask how much does it cost to send presents to my friends in the US and they told me they’re not sending anything to the US.

It’s bc of trumps tariffs.

I don’t want to live in a dystopian timeline where I can’t send a torrone to people I love

I don’t want to say it out loud but it’s one week to the Christmas break and I’m not drowning in deadlines

I’ve learned that baby centipedes when are hungry can attack and eat their mother and now I think this gives a new perspective on motherhood

What's intersectionality?

This is a term that we hear a lot in feminist research. It points to the fact that two women can have very different life experiences shaped by other characteristics like skin color, class, background, (dis)ability, sexuality.
And, I believe, religion.

Recently I’ve met a lot of people my parents’ age and I love how they think I’m basically a teenager…

I know wanting to look younger isn’t feminist but let me have this

For some reasons Facebook is telling people that today’s my birthday. It’s not true but I’m enjoying the attention

Just read: Helen Oyeyemi, Parasols against the Axe. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t get the point of the book. But it captivated me. I ended it wanting to know more but I was also a bit frustrated from the lack of explanations… I love however that one of the characters is the city of Prague

What do you know about anti-gender movements? How do they communicate? Are they Catholic?

This, and much more, in my newest publication:
