Canada again allowed an aircraft carrying Netanyahu to enter its territory & use its airspace, in defiance of the #ICC warrant against the Israeli leader. I hope FM Anand makes clear: did she approve this? Does she believe those wanted by the #ICC are free to use our airspace?

"The disappeared*" was a term for those the military dictatorship in Argentina imprisoned/tortured/murdered during the dirty war. *"detenidos-desaparecidos" (detained-disappeared)

today I found out that myself and another Hebrew Bible scholar who works in Judges/Korean interps are both consulting Jie-Hyun Lim's work on victimhood nationalism to think about Joshua-Judges. IDK I just think that is so cool. :)

This is exactly how the right creates popular support for taking away women’s rights. They position anyone with empathy for Clancy as the reason why women shouldn’t vote, serve on juries, have autonomy, or even exist in public. And they use this as propaganda to make those positions seem reasonable.

the text is ambiguous enough to elicit multiple interps. My hopes is to historicize enslavement in the text by moving beyond what I call 'text dependent approaches' which privilege texts and not living examples of captivity we have that are actually historical.

Mon @mirey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
finally, even if people disagree (and believe me they tell me flat out "I disagree" - someone I respect wholeheartedly did when my JAAR piece came out) at least the convo has now moved toward re-examining the rituals as a sign of enslavement. That it is now a question, to me, is enough.

Mon @mirey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
second, for its wide readership, it is helpful that the convo has moved away from justifications regarding the experiences of the captive to grappling with her lived experience and the haptic aspects of the ritual. That the recent pub does not engage in apologetics is a big step forward

Mon @mirey.bsky.social · 21/08/2026
a note on the incorporation of my work in a recent torah.com article and the directions I notice regarding the captive in Deut 21. First, the historiography of the captive is changing. No one is speaking about the rituals as some sort of change in ethnic identity. I owe that to my JFSR article.

Alright, I'm putting a line in the stand: No more 'why I left academia' takes from dudes that never got their monograph out (in book fields). 'oh sure, I got a gold-plated academic job and bailed out in advance of the tenure decision without a book out, but it was BECAUSE OF WOKE!!' Sure, buddy.

Obviously, there is an enormous media demand for this sort of "Charlie Brown had hoes" analysis of higher education in which random opinions on social media get mainstreamed by the press (explains Tyler's post-academia career). But it doesn't make any of this true.

It's very interesting how Tyler is trying to memory-hole the mid-late 20th century history of the culture wars and anti-academia backlash. A better explanation for gigification is that it was in part a 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 to the democratization of higher ed & the ascendency of cultural knowledge within it.
