11-year old lunch box pseudepigraphy … my favorite part of this child taking over school lunch packing responsibilities this year.

I only recently discovered Luhrmann, and wow - having grown up in a charismatic Pentecostal tradition, I feel so seen.

Yesterday I told the kids they could not go out to play in the snow because there was less than 1” - not enough to play in. They responded with a 6-page, illustrated treatise, arguing why they should be allowed to go out anyway. They got to go out.

Catching up on some recent(ish) publications on time, while enjoying the snow flurries.

60 final projects graded. 8 to go.

Probably my favorite (ever) student depiction of Sheol - the basement at Grandma’s house where it’s dark and you can hear the TV and voices upstairs, but if you scream no one will hear you.

Surprise pictures from my son are the best. Came home to an angry scarecrow with happy clouds in the background.

The one who got me started on the PhD journey and the one who saw me through the finish line. Such incredible scholars, professors, and mentors! (Also featuring my amazing SBL roomie and my doctor-sister!)

One of the highlights of #SBLAAR24 for me was meeting so many of you in person for the first time, including @rebekahjhaigh.bsky.social who shared some Women Who Went Before swag. One of my favorite podcasts!

Woman Zion’s (Round) Table was one of the best sessions I have attended at SBL/AAR. Not only were the presentations super engaging, but the discussion times (interspersed throughout) were so thoughtfully planned and facilitated. Excited to see Cindy Dawson’s book coming out soon!

Super excited to see everyone at SBL/AAR and participate in this session on women and women’s voices in Pseudepigrapha/Deuterocanonical and Cognate Literature!

Snow is the best antidote for the post holiday slump.
