A grey heron at the top of a bridge, looking unbothered as people stare.

Hopping back on bluesky to transmit yesterday's heronometer reading (admired and unbothered) to @liminalitea.bsky.social

Fantastic panel to start off the last day of #CA2024, featuring @disabledarchaeo.bsky.social, Mar Rodda, Cecily Bateman & Hannah Vogel on both disability in the ancient world and the relevance of ancient disability for modern disability studies

I feel that. I'm managing to find some spaces, thankfully, but it can be hard. I walk out when we do a prayer for Israel, which ironically means I also miss the prayer for the community, and that feels a bit too representative of the situation right now...

Come for the cephalopods, stay for the salty comments about NHS chronic pain care

Ah yes so this is out (and open access). The one thing I've written so far I'm actually proud of! Embrace squishiness, be uncomfortable anyway, go hug a rock. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

The Friday seminar gets the Cool Stuff

I am very excited about this!

A black and white cat leans on top of a prayer book I was trying to practice leading a service from. He places his paw firmly on my hand and looks straight at the camera in disapproval.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Screaming by the Perimeter Fence Day!

I should also add: one of my key texts through which to approach this parsha is @bogiperson.bsky.social's story "This Secular Technology", go find it, you need it

I'm just saying that I can imagine the journey back from Mount Moriah and Yitzhak having to figure out how to speak to his father again a bit too clearly

Me: I sure have a lot of feelings about politics, justice, mercy, fathers making poor choices, and being a first born child who has left the family. Would hate to have to process all of them in a short time
Today's parsha: hello

Being trans and having trans friends is cool because your friends are hot and they are constantly in the process of becoming even hotter

Halachaposting.

Also yes I am 6.30am Jewposting

I feel very strongly about this.

Mine matches my hair (purple) where it's not black and white due to Cat

By the way, I am giving a public lecture about my research at Corpus next Wednesday, and you can come if you would like; it will also be livestreamed. Find out more and register here: www.ccc.ox.ac.uk/alumni/event...

Ooooh! I can come to this one!

Today's aesthetic is "cosy allergy trigger" (my jumper is cute and also mostly made of cat hair)

Of course Act II of that story is that they excommunicate the guy on whose side God chimes in, and then there’s an involuntary opposite & decidedly unequal divine reaction to his grief where he shoots fire from his eyes, & oh, INCIDENTALLY, causes a worldwide famine when that causes crop failures.
