My fellow academics, do y’all ever move around your house to get a change of pace while working? For example, I’ll go from working at my actually office at home to the table in the dining room or to the couch. Though the couch is dangerous sometimes 😂

I 100000% recommend watching this movie. It’s easily a 9.5/10. I would say it’s almost as good as Get Out (if you haven’t seen Get Out I cannot help you). Ryan Coogler’s best film to date!

Going to be a very important book. Mark my words.
✨ proofs day ✨ for God, Slavery, and Early Christianity! I’m thrilled that the dissertation-turned-book will be out in the world some time this fall, and hope that folks enjoy wading through hundreds of pages about the Shepherd, slavery, spirit possession, and the formation of Christian ethics.
