whoops, double never mind! this is telling me that it's the Bollandists' ms. with copies from all kinds of earlier mss.; mine apparently came from "the library of F. Olivar" whoever he was!

okay, trying to figure out which French Greek ms. the 18th-c. Jesuits would have called "Cl. V. Franc. Olivarii." Based on the text I'm working with it's (probably?) either Paris grec 1491 or 1592. any wisdom, blooskie?

sigh. I had to pull the trigger and withdraw from AAR/SBL this year. the main reason to go is to see friends and colleagues & I was going to have to pare back my time so much (to save on hotels & meals) it defeated the purpose of even going. say nice things about me in my absence!

we are watching a massive transfer of wealth during an era of massive wealth creation (however much it might be just paper money it’s powerful) — reinscribing gender during this moment is a choice about who will be a citizen for the next three hundred years.

Writing a provocative post then being irked people are provoked instead of watching your video or reading your essay is not the real poaster way. You've got to double down on your bad ideas in a 47 post thread.

I suppose knee-to-nose is what you get if you divulge the information

i mean I'm exclusively saying "knee to nose" from here on. if someone says "need to know" I'll pause, furrow my brow, and say, "... you mean 'knee to nose'?" my life will an homage to this email.

I have now gone in 4 times to adjust my "Anthropic" allocations in conjunction with press instructions (50/50) and every time I go back to check it has reset to keep the conflict in place, ensuring none of us get paid and I assume this is on purpose

Who/what should I be reading about land tenure during the 2nd-8th CE in Palestine? Been out of this game for a minute so I've doubtless forgotten some older works and missed some newer ones. Time range intended to capture "late antique/early Islamic"

we owe so much to trans folks for teaching us that regardless of what circumstances brought you to any point you are under no absolute obligation to continue being that person molded by those circumstances. you can be wholly different! no surprise that fills a carceral surveillance state with dread

hotel-wise yes but probably not travel-wise (denver is at least theoretically a hub not that that seemed to matter this year!)

am pricing tickets to go to AAR/SBL in Denver and am seriously considering canceling my presentation and staying home there is no way to get to Denver from the east coast for less than $500, and that is before paying for every seat on every flight plus hotels. and meals.

It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

It’s been 10 years since Jesse Farrar accidentally defined a political era with one pithy, prescient tweet. He wishes it never happened.
