I'm so grateful for this woman's music and general existence in the world. I'm especially grateful for her presence on this app because of posts like this one. If you don't know @hellobegonia.bsky.social or her music yet, give her a listen and a follow. After all, Cipralex doesn't pay for itself!
Desperate to feel anything at all I dropped my cipralex on the ground of a Calgary coffee shop…stared longingly at it for 2 minutes…made sure no one was looking and then I slurped it up right off the ground catch me outside

As a Winnipegger now living in Toronto, I never complain about the "cold" weather in Toronto. I still have my prairie stamina. 💪🥶

I keep a file in my outlook titled Morale Boost. I stash away emails from colleagues and students that remind me that I have done some good. These are hard times for lots and lots of reasons. I highly recommend doing the same and visiting that folder frequently.

It's not a Roman fucking salute bc there's no clear evidence that any Roman ever did it. It's a Nazi salute, invented--like the Nazi movement--by modern Europeans fantasizing a glorious past that never was.
No matter "how often you think about the Roman Empire", identifying a #RomanSalute is even more awkward, considering there's no ancient source clearly describing it.

There's *one* ambigous depiction of an outstretched arm on Trajan's column, there's *one* vague passage in Josephus. That's it. 🤷‍♂️

Now that my dissertation has been done for over 6 months, I haven't written anything substantial academic wise. So I'm trying to write for "fun" to keep my writing brain in shape.
My latest post is a tribute to my top Spotify song of 2024!

My book Immigration and Apocalypse will be at #AAR #SBL San Diego and bookstores / online everywhere Nov. 26 (pre-order avail now). Immediately, direly relevant, and I wish it were not so.

There's nothing like catching up with a friend over brunch. Something about the coffee, eggs, and home fries coupled with reminiscing about the absurd shared experiences we've had just gives you a bit more bounce to your step. Here's hoping that bounce continues thru the week.

Howdy folks! Finally switched to this app ahead of SBL/AAR so that I know how much fomo I should be feeling. Looking forward to seeing pictures of my frolleagues (friend + colleague) with pints and delicious tacos. Clearly the fomo has started 😭😭
