I mean, literally, the answer to this is "I am federally prohibited from telling you anything about my students without a subpoena or judicial warrant; if you have a subpoena or judicial warrant, please submit it to [Legal Officer/Office] to ensure it is in compliance with all relevant federal laws"
If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them.

Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.
1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them.

It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests.

I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights.

Just had a classic AAR/SBL experience of sitting in a corner to answer emails and do teaching/non conference work “for a minute” and lifting my head 45 minutes later realizing it’s almost time for the next panel.

PSA 🧵

Religion Research Friends don't let other religion research friends (RRFs) explain what they really do for a living to strangers on a plane

RRFs confirm a very bland back story w/ each other that they use like some form of temporarily induced witness protection ID to & from a conference
When the stranger next to you on the plane asks what you do for work, and you make the mistake of telling them the truth. #SBLAAR24

In December I recorded a podcast with the folks at You’re Dead to Me about the Queen of Sheba. The guest comedian, Sadia Azmat, was brilliantly funny and asked great questions that let me discuss ancient body hair removal practices and other fun topics. Check it out! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
