I do religion, gender, and sexuality at the slightest provocation (but also at Rowan University). She/her/s, or as the Spirit moves you.

I left #AARSBL25, got on the train, and promptly fell asleep for two hours. Conferences really take it out of you!

Bad news: The train to #AARSBL25 is delayed 90 minutes.

Good news: The train to #AARSBL25 could have been delayed by so, so many more minutes than that.

looking for some shorter, accessible reading for #AARSBL25 or holidazing travels?

Or have you been curious about the Trans Biblical collection?

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

The fact that @harvard.edu's Larry Summers is teaching three courses this semester while Texas A&M Professor Melissa McCoul was fired tells you all you need to know about what "gender ideology" is allowed and which is not. @aaup.org

Texas A&M is no longer a "university". It's a Vacation Bible School with a football team and parking problems.
Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

i said i wasn't going to repost this stuff but Tyler is correct.

have been saying this offline for weeks: "You know who isn't in the Epstein files? 1,000,000 trans people." it's absolutely the media and the GOP doing the old magician's trick of making the country attack... us trans folks i guess.
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

A thing about AI in higher ed right now is that half of us are scrambling to deal with the implosion of our information environment that broke reading/writing/source verification, while the other half is trying to achieve a massive institutional buy-in of the very thing that's causing the implosion

This is Central-New-Jersey-banquet-hall font. I can smell the carpet cleaner and lemon chicken from here.
This, in particular, is spectacularly hideous. It's like something you'd see on the wall of a car dealership where they put pictures of their top salespeople every month

Did you know that Westminster John Knox Press is already running their 50% off sale, now through December 31?!?

Use promo code WJK25 for great books, including *Trans Biblical*, and if you order now, you won’t need to carry all of your books on your flight home from #AARSBL25!

Don't mind me, just up hours past my bedtime, scrolling Bluesky and crying with relief that my wife, my friends, my students, and so many other trans people will not have to be governed by people who wish them dead.
