I complain a lot about academic precarious jobs and the international moves I was forced to do, but…

Some time ago I met a musician who toured the world with a famous band and they felt *I* had the most interesting life because, well, I literally lived everywhere.

Listening suggestion:

ROSALIA- LUX

I feel like everyone (at least in my feed) is listening to Rosalia's new album LUX, and obviously I'm into it for professional reasons...

I told toddler, in simple words, what happened to Jesus.

She commented: so when he came back from the death, what did he say? I bet he looked at people and said, “you’re all naughty and mean!”

I’m not telling this to my funding agency

I am no longer a big fan of academia.edu, but where do I go if I want to look at someone's publications? University websites often only have incomplete information and not everyone is on Researchgate...

Who are the Sentinelle in Piedi?

Imagine a square where people stand in silence, distanced from each other, reading books (sometime the Bible, sometime Gramsci).

I hate that AI wants to write for me.

Writing is literally the one thing that I do well and I like doing

Reading suggestion of the day

Il libro "Dei Digitali" è stato presentato questa settimana. Il mio capitolo è una traduzione di un lavoro fatto in precedenza con Heidi Campbell, ed è stato un piacere collaborare con Michele Olzi, Alessandra Vitullo e tanti altri studiosi brillanti

I’ve just seen an ad of someone renting a place in Italy specifying that they don’t want fascist and I think that’s the right vibe

Humans never learn from difficult situations.

The pandemic was the perfect occasion to pick just ONE platform for online communication, and yet we're here stuck with zoom, meets, teams and whatever else is out there...

Did an online presentation of a book in Italian and my mom connected too 💜

How do you get arrested in the Vatican?

In my work, I recently spoke with people who had the experience of being arrested of stopped by the police because they were doing something "wrong" in the Vatican.

Toddler : “do Witches exist?”

Husband, a law professor: “of course not”

Me, someone in religious studies: “well, actually…” *proceeds to listing all the Pagan and Wiccan practitioners I’ve met in my life

I’ve been to an art event to speak about religion and it was such an experience!

Just got an email saying that mothers with 2 kids or more will get a monthly bonus of FORTY EUROS and I'm like wow! That's really what I needed to take the decision of having a second child!

(that's what you get when you elect a fascist btw)

I love how people in Colorado spoke to me in Spanish because they saw I was a foreigner, and in Barcelona they speak to me in Catalan because they think I'm from here.

A fantastic panel of people discussing transcendence

It ends with the question: what kind of transcendence can AI bring?

Are Christians a minority?

In my work, I find online narratives of Christians describing themselves as "minorities"

However, in Europe and North America, Christians remain the majority of the population, even if the number of religious people is declining.

I’m listening to an incredible talk on the Global South at cccb Barcelona.

It’s discussed how “philosophy” is only considered as “western philosophy”. It comes to mind when I was in high school and I loved philosophy, and my professor told me there’s no philosophy outside Europe, only religion.

Now that I'm doing fieldwork in Spain, turns out that the endless hours spent listening to Ricky Martin as a teenager weren't all wasted.

Too bad his songs were about Maria being hot and cold and not about women who consider Maria a model of womanhood
