Calling out Chabad is deranged. Everyone knows he meant to say ZOG. They’re two totally different organizations, and I’m only a dues-paying member of one of them!

Names of Athenian Triremes: Investigating Group Cohesiveness and Social Identity in the Athenian Navy of the 4th Century BC - Journal of Maritime Archaeology The set of inscriptions known as the Naval Inventories of Athens (IG II2 1604–IG II2 1632) provide a wealth of information regarding the state of the Athenian navy in the fourth century BC. The inscri...

I guess I didn’t wake up thinking I needed to know the names of the 279 named triremes ⛵️in the 4th century BCE Athenian navy, but it appears we all do. link.springer.com/article/10.1... I do like that 3.58% had animal names like Λεοντῆ (lion skin) and Λέαινα (lioness). Greek epigraphy is fun! 🪦

I'm so sorry--if it's any consolation, I now know way more about Maine (one of our less populous and less notable states) than I ever wanted to *and I'm one of ~them~*

Mais oui. 😭

It’s only a world war if it comes from the World War region of France. Otherwise, it’s just sparkling shitshow.

Not to my knowledge! Just a procrastinator apparently 😬

One of my text chains with a friend rn is just a running tally of number of countries technically involved. I think we're at 16? When do we decide it's "worldwide?"

that definitely helps!

It’s a no-lose situation!

The great thing is that you can use it to not write and then your house is cleaner!!!

Today’s regularly re-learned lesson from my mental trenches (March is a hard month, guys) is:

That cleaning task you’re putting off? It’s about 15 minutes of work and will make you feel so much better after. Just do it.

It’s an older book so hopefully someone did the slapping already!

Looooool quite the rich tapestry here.

Update: my reply team have now determined to the origin of “planter’s wife is Jewish” thing to be the neonazi website vdare, and apparently reported nowhere else. bsky.app/profile/pymu...

People need to pick better fronts for their theologies of infallibility.

Wendy Belcher’s ’Abyssinia’s Samuel Johson,’ a rightful classic that I’ve only just been reading recently!

Disconnected backwards arabic in an academic book about English-Ethiopian relations

Oh no! (All the Ge’ez in the book is right though! And good practice for me.)

*shudders*

lol no worries! And you should read Saadia Yacoob's book, too, I thought her application of intersectionality in Islamic legal studies made a lot of good sense

I understood so much of this on my own without looking things up 😭 yayayay

No, of course not, but I'm assuming given that Ryan has an overinflated sense of his own political influence he might assume editors of major papers elsewhere do too. This doesn't pass a sniff test for me (and so much else he says does)...

lol nice

A Black Sufi named Abu Yi'zza serves as a slave in an elite woman's home as a spiritual exercise, when she finds out it is him, though, she vows to take on all of the housework herself instead.

Teaching a "history & theory" guest class next week where we're doing race, gender, and intersectionality in premodernity. Theory's only useful in practice, so I'm just gonna throw a bunch of stories like this one at mostly non-Islamicists and see what they do with them (from Katz's Wives and Work).

!!!! For real!
