Is the skeleton in a bag?

I still enjoyed the article you shared, though!

The former! I’m writing about medieval Jewish family law and I’m interested in if/how they responded to Islamic family law both in legal texts and in practice. Given how important milk kinship rules are to medieval muslims, I’m a little surprised that I can’t find any Jewish mention of it.

I looked at the bio of the person i quote tweeted (skeeted?) and she and my old prof MUST know each other. I think they should fight. I would watch that.

Plenty of ancient art was gaudy as hell. The issue is that this exhibit does not fix fundamental problems with museum display and I have met many people who think if you just paint a plaster cast with a bunch of base layers of color then you’re capturing the “authentic” look of an ancient statue.

She was SO upset by how ugly the ‘bronzes’ were. It was hilarious. I understand the purpose of this but it just does not work for me. Much prefer side-by-sides with the real statues or digital reconstructions (see: Acropolis Museum). And at least acknowledge that this is not “how it would’ve looked”

Reading articles you found via google and copying an ai generated answer to a search query are two very different things.

Your daughter is very cool!

It could very well be something like that — they terminated linguistics research grants that mentioned “grammatical gender” because the AI flagged the word “gender.”

Nothing can ever beat a good mushroom pasta.

I’ve read a bit about disability in the medieval middle east and I don’t recall guide dogs being mentioned, but there may also be sources there that I’m not remembering. Either way, it was definitely a thing in Europe!

There are a fair number of medieval references to guide dogs for the blind! This post has some good examples and further references that might be worth a look if your student is interested in pre-modern history.

This is a real internet history problem. Most news links go dead after a few years and the only way to access them is if they’re archived

“That all men possess natural rights” bro have they even read aristotle

That’s nonsensical. Antisemitism is racism, so does that necessitate Jews all being the same“race”? Race is a construct!! It’s not real and can vary depending on context!! Xenophobia is hatred of foreigners and can also be racist! It usually is!

Nationalities are very often racialized. Race is constructed, not a predetermined fact. There is no such thing as a “real” race and any ethnic, religious, national distinctions, etc. can be racially constructed.
