“I knew that homosexuality was a sin - I didn’t want to be homosexual. I went to my G.P and said I had read Freud’s book on dreams, that I suffered from homosexuality, and that I would like to change.”

My new article now out in Irish Historical Studies:

I guess they haven’t been listening to the part where Mary and Joseph have to migrate late in Mary’s pregnancy to avoid state violence.

I was a guest professor in a German civil and environmental engineering department for 2 years in the 2010s— happy to share random thoughts.

I have a gut feeling that a lot of institutional knowledge is about to be lost across US universities, and there’s no system in place to capture and retain it.

My elementary school had regular visits from a woman who regularly brought animals from her personal menagerie for us to interact with. I am grateful to her that I am not fearful of tarantulas and snakes, as she taught us to treat them gently and respectfully.

Excellent reference. I had not heard of him before and briefly went down an Internet rabbit hole learning about his career. 🥔

Hello from my kitty Annie and me. She supervises my work (pushing me hard on a new article for T&C) and likes to ignore new toys like this purple ghost. #blackcat

I picked up a few things for my kitty at the local pet store this morning, and shop cat Bubbles was very interested in my tote bag. #catsofbluesky
