*Me, reading @marshallcunningham.bsky.social 's 2024 VT article while writing a thing on Jeremiah* oh thank god Marshall did the reading

So glad you came! I hope you thought it was fun and/or useful and/or something else good! Lovely to see you, as always. 😊

Okay, how about #stevenlucyfordirectorofdiagrams?

Yes! This is the refined version of my daydreaming. Limiting the DLSD/Woodlawn traffic in these blocks would make things much calmer. Imagine the neighborhood joy! Imagine the outdoor dining! And still accessible for our car-centric culture in your plan.

True. That’s so much better than the current chaos! But to be able to leave Bixler w my child & walk over to 57th St. Books (2 crosswalks, 1 horrendous) without ever having to worry about being hit by a car… It would make our lives so much better! So in this dream scenario, I vote both streets. :)

And 57th!

It went so well! The pairing was great (really brought both to life) and the students loved your article. The idea of archival viscerality really resonated w them.

Someone’s #realacademicbio.

THE WEATHER. 😑

Is this exhibit the best part of working at The Marty Center? Possibly. Maybe. Probably. Yes!

Reading @ahmadgreene.com & Laura Helton this week in our Sacred Geographies course! We’ll focus on archives and collecting as forms of making/claiming/narrating/critiquing/embodying “the sacred.” Next week we visit Chi History Museum to engage archives & collections (& exhibits!) in person.

Just read a syllabus for a course on the sociology of reproduction in the US and there’s nothing about religion. Not one single reading in a semester length class that looks at “the social construction of reproductive values.” I find this astounding and yet also…not.

Goodbye, beautiful objects! We miss you! (Especially the Oral Roberts wallet. And the Last Supper lunchbox. And the King James Version belt buckle. And…)

5yo: describes in detail a fairly mundane dream about legos. Then, an afterthought: “And there were gecko horses.” 😂

This is so cool.

Can’t wait to read!

83% of parenting is scouring the floor for microscopic legos without which one’s child will perish.

Oh good! Thanks. :)

👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

So how does this starter pack thing work? Can’t I just import my mutuals from the Bad Place? 😫

I literally lol’d. From the voice of The People’s Rabbi! ;)

Yay, Kelly!!

It's important to remember that the "crisis in the humanities" is deliberate and not because of a lack of funds or lack of student interest, but because of how those with power choose to wield their power.

We’ll be reading Meehan Crist’s “Is It Okay to Have a Child?” and hosting Kate Hoeting from @catholic4choice.bsky.social. A powerful way to say goodbye to wonderful students!!

Today is the last day of Religion and Abortion in American Culture and I’m feeling emotional about it! I’m going to miss the amazing students who made the class so good—and who welcomed me back into the classroom after two years away. Teaching is the best.
