Driving along listening to Michael Licona’s Jesus, Contracted and suddenly in chapter 3, a completely gratuitous sexist joke.

Tucked away in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' is the requirement that all visitors to the US must pay $250 just to enter the country starting 1 October! For a family of 5 that's $1250! I doubt this will help America's crashing tourism business which is down 10% already since January

I love language and culture. But language includes more than words; it includes gestures too. Yesterday I discovered that thumbing one’s nose at people is no longer part of our set of communicative gestures in the US. I assume it’s been replaced by the L, loser sign and the finger?

Thinking how hard it is to just listen when someone is hurting and you can’t fix it…
while listening to a friend tell me how hard it was at a family funeral this week to just listen when you can’t fix it.

![NT/EC scholars who identify as women [at any career stage], please consider adding yourself to the Google Sheet I have created below (I’ve put myself first as an example). I’ve been part of several projects in the last few years where I and/or my fellow editors have struggled to achieve gender diversity in our project (which is, admittedly, only one dimension of diversity). How much easier it would be if we had a list to consult, especially if it connects us to people who are not in our typical networks. Feel free to share this post!
Don’t worry, you’re not committing yourself to anything by putting your name on the list! You can always say no if you get invited to something thar you aren’t able to commit to.
[It’s just that I just thrive on lists 😁]

A truly beautiful detail from an Etruscan bronze mirror, depicting a winged Lasa, a protective deity (much like later Roman Lares) associated with Tuan, the Etruscan goddess of love. Perhaps a wedding present for a young bride, and later placed in her tomb. 🏺 #ancientbluesky

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts.
This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state.
The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin.
This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
