📣 UWS HAS RULED OUT COMPULSORY REDUNDANCIES

After 8 days of strike action from EIS, and a further 12 days planned from Monday which UCU were due to join, management has today announced that CR has been taken off the table 🎉

Managed to get a copy of “Judeophobia and the New Testament” by @apocalypsenow5.bsky.social, @evandeneykel.bsky.social & @drmjcwarren.bsky.social. Read most of part 1 already and there’s some great stuff in there, from a good mix of scholars.

Clanker this, tin skin that. We already have “toaster,” folks.

Book review by the one and only Paula Fredriksen, reviewing Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts. One line that made my editor’s heart sing: “Each essay is a jewel of careful
exposition and of ethical reasoning.” www.sblcentral.org/home/bookDet...

I just want to tell a little story for you academics out there, especially the ones younger and more viral than I. I've published 3 books and an Element in my time, so I've been through that part of the process a lot. And here's something that happened already with my second book:

Now published! Sarah F. Porter (@portersf.bsky.social), “Writing to Paul: Using Interactive Fiction to Explore Early Christian Worlds.” tinyurl.com/PorterWritin...

P (5yo) has been asking for weeks to try coleslaw. Going on and on about how good he thinks coleslaw will be. I should have been suspicious but what do I know. I love coleslaw.

Bought some cabbage, told him we could make it. He got all excited.

KULFI. He wanted to try kulfi.

Christianity has long revered saints who would be called ‘transgender’ today There are at least 34 documented stories of transgender saints’ lives, three of which had widespread popularity in medieval Europe.

Women becoming like men was a major element in ancient Christian monasticism

Did you spot the “tapestry”? 🙃

Same guy

It’s clear even from comparing the table of contents to what is in the review. There is no contextualisation of anything in the wider Greco-Roman world, eg — the thematic chapters are focused on contemporary pedagogical and scholarly contexts.

Maybe the fact that it completely fabricates the book’s contents and focus?

I can’t express how insulting and enraging it is to have the first “review” of a book I’m really proud of be AI-generated nonsense. Beware, the hallucinations in this “review” won’t give you an accurate preview of the book. tinyurl.com/AIGuySux

Received my copy of Judeophobia & the New Testament 😍 proud of my work here and of the hard work the editors did!
My pieces are on Torah, the Law, & Judeophobia and on The Pharisees (with @drmjcwarren.bsky.social & Dr Sara Parks)

reminder: restricting student visas even more is morally wrong (because immigration is good), politically stupid (because the far right will not be appeased), and economically disastrous (because the HE sector and all that surrounds it needs international students)

Your annual reminder that the Last Supper was not a Passover seder, Jesus’ experience of Passover was fundamentally different from ours, and if your church does a seder that’s gross cultural appropriation.

A black screen with the Google search, Is Gal Gadot a nepo baby. The AI overview reads: No, Gal Gadot is not considered a "nepo baby" (a child of a famous parent) because her parents, while Jewish, are not known for being actors or other celebrities in the entertainment industry.

In case you don’t already hate Google’s automatic AI generated answers at the top of every search, here is some baked-in antisemitism for you! “While Jewish” is doing a lot of work there…!
