Yes, that's what we thought, but the text is pretty clearly not a legal one. At least not the part that we have here.

This is the worse case of déjà vu ever.

Complete with all the talking heads going "You know, I think this is actually going to make America safer!"

For pete's sake, READ A HISTORY BOOK or watch a documentary whatever just...can we not do this AGAIN?!

*books of poems 🙄

I love rhythmic books and kids those ages do too so made sure to include fun books to read. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is another classic.

Cool…I have so many. The booms of poems by Shirley Hughes is classic and absolutely marvelous. And all the Story Orchestra books. Kids love pressing the buttons.

Oh gosh - so many! What age? What interests?

There are still some seats in my #Theology as Dialogue in Early Christianity class in July at Regent College in Vancouver.

It's for credit or audit, in-person or online.

We're going to read a bunch of weird and fun and delightful texts together.

Join me!

Theology as Dialogue in Early Christianity
In this course, we will work through several examples of early Christian dialogues from writers such as Justin Martyr, Origen of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, and Augustine of Hippo, and consider what...

Y'all, @caromein.bsky.social came through and was able to provide a transcription for these. This work + Gemini gave me a good idea of what these texts are! Further confirmation and study needed but:

A late 14th-century scholastic commentary
A early 15th-century Gradual or Antiphonary for Pentecost

Hey #medievalsky manuscript friends!

Found in our archives. One is a Psalter from 1425 (maybe?).

The other? No idea. Can anyone help identify what this Latin fragment from the late 1300s (supposedly) is? This is definitely not my wheelhouse.

Any further info on either is welcome.

Any help would be awesome!

I'm a Late Antiquity person who spends most of my time in Greek so, yes! This is a bit of a heavy lift for my Latin.

Great choice! One of my favorite films. I don't know how many times I've seen it.

These T Swift lyrics have been in my head since Jan 20:

The whole school is rolling fake dice.
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes

American stories burning before me

Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
Darling, I'm scared.

Humans made in the image of God are being starved and slaughtered in Gaza. Grief and rage at this atrocity does not diminish the horror of October 7th. One atrocity does not condone another.

There is no justification for killing civilians, let alone children and the wounded. Absolutely none.

What theologians here find themselves doing historical #theology work in the 1500ish-now space?

Obviously that's a large span of time and everyone has a focus (mine is early Christianity) but I'd love to meet some new friends who work in that space.

Introduce yourselves! What do you work on?

I’m about to hop on the blue line and am glad to hear this! Because I will not be three hours early!

Just wrapped up listening to a fabulous plenary from an Argentinian scholar on Origen’s Commentary on John at #NAPS2025.

International faculty and students in the US are blessings. They honor us with their presence and their work. Treating them with violence is abhorrent.

Hey #NAPS2025! Can’t wait to see y’all.

I’m presenting on Gregory of Nyssa in the first paper of the first session (the equivalent of winning the lottery at a conference, I think).

Bonus: I’m coming from Boston’s North Shore and skipping an impending rare May nor’easter to hang out with y’all 😁

I'm so excited I can't even spell lol
