I'm so grateful for this woman's music and general existence in the world. I'm especially grateful for her presence on this app because of posts like this one. If you don't know @hellobegonia.bsky.social or her music yet, give her a listen and a follow. After all, Cipralex doesn't pay for itself!

As a Winnipegger now living in Toronto, I never complain about the "cold" weather in Toronto. I still have my prairie stamina. 💪🥶

I keep a file in my outlook titled Morale Boost. I stash away emails from colleagues and students that remind me that I have done some good. These are hard times for lots and lots of reasons. I highly recommend doing the same and visiting that folder frequently.

I think with the dissertation and first book, many folks are still lacking confidence and go to "cite all the things" mode. And as you allude to, after all those years you spend writing the dissertation, it's hard to break out of that style!

It's not a Roman fucking salute bc there's no clear evidence that any Roman ever did it. It's a Nazi salute, invented--like the Nazi movement--by modern Europeans fantasizing a glorious past that never was.

Now that my dissertation has been done for over 6 months, I haven't written anything substantial academic wise. So I'm trying to write for "fun" to keep my writing brain in shape. My latest post is a tribute to my top Spotify song of 2024! open.substack.com/pub/anna5858...
Text on this image reads: "That Is Me"
An ode to my most-listened-to song of 2024
'Tis the season of Spotify Wrapped.
Like most users of the app, I was eagerly looking forward to seeing my listening stats for 2024. I wasn't sure what would be my top song.

"Dying to be hydrated" should be the name of the next panel you're on. Also hi! Your book was a big help in my dissertation, esp. my chapter on Judith and Thecla.

My book Immigration and Apocalypse will be at #AAR #SBL San Diego and bookstores / online everywhere Nov. 26 (pre-order avail now). Immediately, direly relevant, and I wish it were not so.

Do you always have detailed and stressful dreams? I have them every night. My friend suggested taking vitamin B supplements, which I started yesterday. Hoping it helps.

Hey friend! You have the distinguished honour of being the only person in my dissertation acknowledgments referred to as "Dr."! Intro for others: Finished my PhD at UofT on women in early Xty in April. My brain is still trying to recover. I've been keeping busy by attending concerts and copyediting

For me I find that if I eat a banana on an empty stomach, regardless of its ripeness, I usually get some stomach pain. Glad the article was helpful!

So cool seeing it out in the world. It feels just like yesterday I was listening in awe, as you explained all the detailed research data you had gathered. I keep telling everyone, even unsuspecting pub patrons sitting on the barstool next to me, about this book. Congrats! #NewHavenGreenEnthusiast

There's nothing like catching up with a friend over brunch. Something about the coffee, eggs, and home fries coupled with reminiscing about the absurd shared experiences we've had just gives you a bit more bounce to your step. Here's hoping that bounce continues thru the week.

Howdy folks! Finally switched to this app ahead of SBL/AAR so that I know how much fomo I should be feeling. Looking forward to seeing pictures of my frolleagues (friend + colleague) with pints and delicious tacos. Clearly the fomo has started 😭😭
