Yes! I grew up UMC in south GA too. Been to Camp Tygart?

Blessings as you drive toward the prorev. You got this!

From my current understanding, I’m not sure if I’d say it “is” a mug… maybe it bears family resemblance to things usually identified as being “mug,” or maybe it participates in “mugness” while also bearing the traits of “cupness” and “bowlness” to varying degrees. Maybe even “pencilholderness.” 🤷🏻‍♂️

Man, I love that reference! #intertextuality 🕷️😂 (I’ll have to look back, but I either put the Spider-Man/Eco illustration in a footnote of my thesis or flagged it to go in the published version… I forget 🤷🏻‍♂️)

I felt the same way about library purchases… morally obligated (especially to future PGRs) to expand the holdings on my topic. Maybe I just enjoyed the ability to buy expensive academic books on the Uni’s dime. 😁

I’ve been looking forward to it since way before it came out 👍

I’m not even there and this prompted me to have a colleague pick it up in person (instead of buying online) so I could drink my coffee out of a mug that knows the contributions of modern genre theory to reading biblical literature well ☕️📖🤓

Unfortunately, I’m always on the lookout for AI. It’s part of the job description these days, right? There are several things that make me confident that’s not the case in this instance, which makes it even better :)

#Genius! That’s a plan for Boston next year… I’m sure my friends would be happy to do some extra grading 🤣

Yup. Thankful, however, for SBL/AAR discounts on publishers’ websites. 📚

I was looking over your website earlier, very interested in learning more about this.

Saw it and added it to my feeds list 👍 Yes, please include me.
