Amazing how many of my students love to cite the well-known text the author wrote that we're NOT using in class instead of the lesser-known text we ARE using for class that I've also lectured from all semester.

Why in the world would they do such a thing???

Oh wait...AI think AI know.... <sigh>

My friend Amanda Yanul is doing her book signing at Friendly Alien Books in downtown Scranton right now. This is for her debut novel, and I am so excited for her! If you're in the area, stop by, chat with her, and pick up a copy of her book.

What I read: "God's Monsters" by Esther J. Hamori. Just finished it two nights ago, and I loved it.

This book breaks down the portrayals of monsters you'll find in the Bible - and how several of them are actually employed by God to do God's will.

Highly recommend.

As I said the other day (and apparently lost several followers from it!), the United States is quickly evolving into a theocratic state. That thin wall between state and church is nonexistent anymore - and that should terrify every person of every religion.

Your all-too-frequent reminder that the United States is now living comfortably in the realm of a theocracy - a government controlled by a religious group. Specifically, Christianity is taking over, and Evangelicals are cheering.

Okay, gang, help me out. I got "Moon Called" ebook on a really good sale, but...I'm just bored.

Anyone read this series? Can anyone give me a good review of it? What am I missing? Thank you.

When law enforcement becomes religious enforcement, we're all screwed. THIS is what I meant every time I warned of theocracy in the United States.

A free YA ebook showed up in my Nook queue today, and it looked like fun. I added it to my cart, hit "checkout," and was immediately stopped by the 2-factor authentication sending me a code.

If someone is hacking into my Nook account to send me a free book, just let them do it. You know? Hah!

To be blunt, this Pride Month has been absolutely shitty for LGBTQ+ rights. As demonstrated by yet another drain-circling ruling by our illustrious SCOTUS, when empathy is deemed offensive, minority groups get erased.

Equality is still imperfect (note the obstacles that still remain) but today marks a significant first step. Let's keep moving forward.

Day-job complaint: It's hard not to think AI was somehow involved in the writing of students' final project research proposals when at least 1/3 of the students correctly propose using a stat (Pearson's r) we never even covered in class
