The court has granted our request for a temporary restraining order to stop the federal government from unlawfully sharing personal financial data with DOGE.

I've read #TheStarlessSea by @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social half-dozen times now, but each re-reading is a newly-opened door, the threshold crossing of which never seems to lose its wonder.

Yes! This will be shelved alongside God's Monsters, by Esther Hamori. 📚
We have a cover!!! The Oxford Handbook of Biblical Monsters is in production. We tried to put together articles that would foster a dialogue between traditional scholarship and more contemporary monster/horror. Now it's waiting, and preparing for the fun that will be proofing and indexing.

May it be an instant boost in mood for you as well:
The that-feeling of arriving at the next stoplight the same time as the egomaniac who passed you and all, speeding/swerving through traffic to no avail.
