Full circle moment as I reread Many Forms of Culture (Cohen, 2009) and found notes written in from the summer before I started grad school about Religious v. Cultural Jews — next week I defend my dissertation focused on understanding different facets of Jewish Identity.

Had a great time at @spspnews.bsky.social this past week! Every year, I leave the conference reminded why I love my work and academic support system so much — even with 7 inches of unexpected snow ❄️❄️❄️

Sharing my posters from the religion pre-con and opening poster session at @spspnews.bsky.social

I presented some of my Jewish ID diss. results and a side project about religion and political beliefs!

Also, shameless plug, I am on the post-doc market if you are looking for a post-doc! :)

Starting winter break off early with picking up our newest foster cat, Beerus from the Hawaiian humane society! She is around a year old and will be with us for a few weeks as she recovers from femur surgery. She will be our 23rd foster since starting in 2022!
Picture of an adult cat that is mostly black with a little white tuft of fur on her chest and greenish-yellow eyes. She is sitting inside of a cardboard cat house that has snowflakes and red and white stripes. The full house (outside of the view of the image) is in the shape of a gift box and she is sitting inside the arch shaped cut out on the bottom which is a cardboard scratching post material. The cat house is on a top of a purple and white crocheted blanket.

So sorry for your loss! Sending a cute pet pic your way — Addie (left) and Garu (right)
Two small to medium sized dogs laying on a rug on the floor. The dog on the left is white with tan patches and is wearing a collar that is teal with little sushi cartoon drawings. She is sitting with her head up looking at the camera. The dog on the right is all brown with big ears that stick up. He is laying with his paws crossed and his head laying on top of his paws and he is looking away from the camera towards the dog on the left.

A meme that is a screenshot of the facebook reporting tool for reporting photos you are tagged in. The title says What's going on with four options: 1) It's annoying or not interesting, 2) I'm in this photo and I don't like it, 3) I think it shouldn't be on Facebook, 4) It's Spam. The second option, I'm in this photo and I don't like it, is selected.
