I'm available for work! I have loved my time here in Copenhagen and would enjoy continuing to research, publish, and teach at the interplay of trauma, migration/diaspora, and feminism in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.

As I head out for #sblaar25, inspired by @vox-magica.bsky.social’s advice thread, here’s mine for people flying longer distances: plane food, hit or miss. Bring a cup ramen with you and you’ve got a SOLID meal that you can count on. I’ve got Shin Ramen for my flight there, and Chicky Carbonara back!

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Just putting it in writing: how long until the justification is that the Bible would allow it?

Good night everyone. May tomorrow bring us more justice and some peace.
![“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.
