The fact that fellowships always have some stipulation about not having other income is so out of touch. Like, just say you only want scholars who have family wealth or other kinds of financial support. Some of us have to work through school, and it’s wild how that disqualifies us from so much.

There’s something adorable about still seeing witches on the internet who are particularly mad at nineties teen witch books that suggested teens might lie to their parents. Like, gasp, yes, what a travesty. I don’t know who your parents were, but mine still need to be lied to.

Big News! Join me and the Religion for Breakfast Team in the new Religion Department! Because religious studies matters, and quality education should be accessible outside of universities.

Academic besties, I'm begging you to stop giving your students snippets from books about Wicca published in the eighties and acting like it's contemporary and representative. I made you a present (and it's cheap)! Happy Halloween season, religious studies! bookshop.org/p/books/witc...

Tender-minded and tough-minded people, characterized as I have written them down, do both exist. Each of you probably knows some well-marked example of each type, and you know what each example thinks of the example on the other side of the line. They have a low opinion of each other.

Three things I learned from the crows:

1) How to back your friends up in a bar fight.
2) How to repay kindness with kindness threefold.
3) How to hold a grudge against your enemies so long that one of you has to die for it to end.

@megelison.bsky.social I got to interpret (ASL/English) your book "Find Layla" in a middle school classroom last school year and may I say, POWERFUL! School is out, I'm on break, and I am still thinking about it! Kudos!

Has anyone considered throwing Teslas into the harbour as a form of protest because I hear the tea thing worked a treat last time.
