When you are fighting with both Coptic and your poor mistreated fountain pen… #coptic #tripartitetractate #fountainpens #shimmerink

That “Must Finish This Chapter” vibe #naghammadi #coptic #gnosticism #academia #phd

a cluttered desk with a bunch of open books (including two dictionaries), scattered pens and papers, an (empty) energy drink can and general chaos vibes

I have just discovered that PowerPoint slides can be exported as GIFs, which is excellent/terrible news for anyone who has sat through my papers on various "gnostic" systems. Here's the Apocryphon of John (I think based on the long version?), for... fun? #coptic #naghammadi #gnostic

I figured I should be semi-professional and easy to find on here, but on the other site my handle was “ialdabaothspawn” and frankly I am still very proud of that. Yes, I am procrastinating already.

I can’t be the only one bribing myself to work with new stationery for the new academic year… right? #coptic #naghammadi #academia #PhD #notebooks

a pretty orange notebook with a cross-section of a tree trunk on it, a mug of a 40s-style housewife captioned “I don’t want to brag, but I’m pretty mediocre at housekeeping,” and a stack of books of Coptic Gnostic texts
