Dear NAPS friends, I just received awful news that Dennis Trout has passed away 😢

I’m ethical! For another year, anyway, having completed my uni’s annual ethics training.

I'm guessing Knowledge Commons servers are overwhelmed! Hence, the sluggishness. Goodbye to Academia.edu.

My middle years of life: struggles with memory recall, morning lower back stiffness, nightly acid reflux. Who’s with me? What else ya got? 😭😭😭

I am working on my syllabus today. I have accepted defeat, that the summer is over.

Ugh, the August Inbox monster has reared its ugly head. Summer, where did you go???
August 6, 2025 at 3:51 PM
Curse you August! You are not welcome here!

With hat tip to @curtisdozier.bsky.social, I need this. We must play this at NAPS! The anachronistic cover art is so tantalizing!

Today, on the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea, we announce the return of Credo!
Today, May 20th, is the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. A fitting date to announce the long awaited return of a classic Chaosium game: Credo, the game of duelling dogmas.

Unhinged response to an unhinged review makes fascinating academic reading.

He's disappointed the new pope didn't take his name. #FeastDaySaintEpiphanius

Whew! Dodged a bullet with Leo not Epiphanius. Missed opportunity though to talking head with @drewjakeprof.bsky.social

Cue up Chicago pizza, hotdogs, Cubs, Bulls jokes.

Augustine scholars, get ready!

Whoa! Heads are exploding right now. NPR hosts should have studied Latin. Another Leo!
May 8, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Will be glad if we don’t have a Pope Epiphanius. Wouldn’t want someone who would choose that name 😎

Can I really start deleting the publisher's city from my bibliographies? I'm scared, like when i stopped hitting space twice after a period. Change is hard, but I think I can do this!

Gee, I wonder how many people are making a crap ton of money, knowing what was coming from the top.
