I have just discovered that PowerPoint slides can be exported as GIFs, which is excellent/terrible news for anyone who has sat through my papers on various "gnostic" systems. Here's the Apocryphon of John (I think based on the long version?), for... fun?

a pretty orange notebook with a cross-section of a tree trunk on it, a mug of a 40s-style housewife captioned “I don’t want to brag, but I’m pretty mediocre at housekeeping,” and a stack of books of Coptic Gnostic texts
I can’t be the only one bribing myself to work with new stationery for the new academic year… right?
