Walking into the last day of #aarsbl2024 like...
#aarsbl2024 was a time. i’m tired (and sore). but home and massage booked.
8 years ago I unintentionally created a digital hush harbor called #PinkRobeChronicles after being uninvited to preach at the church I served. This week while attending #AARSBL2024 I sat in three paper presentations where PRC was either centered or mentioned. Thank for seeing a sistah!
The other sign that it’s time for me to go is I am realizing how horrendous the lighting is at San Diego Convention Center. How were we doing this the last four days? #aarsbl2024

This week's data peek, partly for those at #aarsbl2024, was a combined look at the Religious Studies and Art History disciplinary categories! 📿🎨 www.patreon.com/prcurtis

we'll be at the wild hare for the next hour or so

Listening to Dr. Ralph Craig III respond to responses on his new book, Dancing in My Dreams: A Spiritual Biography of Tina Turner. I’ve long been fascinated by Turner’s turn to Buddhism (Soka Gakkai) and Craig explores that turn and how she retains early Black Baptist traditions. #aarsbl2024

Now listening to a panel focused on the 20th anniversary of Teresa Fry Brown’s Weary Throats and they are walking HEAVY in here. #aarsbl2024
Womanist homiletics is truly a lifesaving and life giving method/ology for preaching.
If you are in San Diego for #aarsbl2024 and you like beer, don’t miss Half Door Brewing.
Make new friends and keep the old ones! This moment captured is alive with wonderful new connections and ground for solidarity. Loved every minute last night #aarsbl2024

Very exciting to see this in print - it’s real! #aarsbl2024 #narsai #syriac
Two things are standing out to me in this first day at #AARSBL2024:
1. There’s a lot of religious academic trauma in this space.
2. #Womanist work is more necessary now than ever. For all of us.
If you are attending #aarsbl2024, come visit the ARDA booth in the Exhibit Hall (Booth #807) to learn more about our many religion data resources.
1st Day at the #aarsbl2024 conference!
An Osprey Bird carrying a big fish in its claws
Come to our panel on Indigenous Transcendence, Rights, and Relationality on Monday in Convention Center 5B to find out why this bird who definitely has an obnoxious tinder profile made it into my presentation

On my way to #aarsbl2024 to give some talks and hang out with @emilypothast.bsky.social. Just like being on tour, but the shows are even weirder.
OK I think that might be it for now!! I know I missed many, many interesting panels but just wanted to highlight these as ones I would have likely attended if I weren’t in Bangkok lol. Wishing everyone a fantastic #aarsbl2024 💕🌸✨ may it be a time of community, sunshine, & wonderful connection.
The most consequential result from the presidential election exit polls is what did NOT shift in the religious landscape. My take at TIME.
