I write and teach about biblical stuff and Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. I also do editing and proofreading. Love political and social science fiction and how this interacts with religious studies and current unpleasantnesses.

Donald Trump has just stated that the tariffs will stay on until Canada ceases to exist as a nation.
From here on in, my priority is Canada. All other considerations are secondary. Trump will never win. He will never break us.
