Teaching a 2.5 year old how to brush their teeth isn’t frustrating at all. Not at all
At the age now where I won’t travel without my heating pad. Won’t be long until it’s bananas and prune juice. #gettingolder #aging
“Where you headed?” Me: “Going to a religious studies conference.” “Oh, are you a pastor?” Me: “No, I study the cultural history of religion….” “But do you want to be a pastor? Why else would you study religion?” #sblaar24 #aarsbl24 #aar

If I know @thornthewitch.bsky.social like I think I do, hecklers will be welcome.
It’s #sblaar24 time! My panel is at 12:30 on Sunday, CC 7B, and I’ll be using Deleuze and notions of religion as a means of state regulation to think about contemporary witchcraft as “secular” instead of the usual “nature religion.” Relevant for folks interested in contemporary Paganism or NRMs.
I’m the kind of person that gets jazzed over terms like “rare footage”

So stoked to presenting at both #NAASR @naasr.bsky.social and #aar this coming religious studies conference season. If Sound Studies and its applications in religious studies sounds like a jolly good time, come and heckle me!
The NAASR 2024 annual meeting starts in just one week! Join us next Friday in San Diego at 10:00am for the first of our four roundtables, Human/Subject/World! And, don’t forget to join Saturday for the pre-meeting virtual program: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Stoked to be presenting in the Philosophy of Religions Unit at #AARSBL2024 #SBLAAR2024 #AARSBL in San Diego. Happy to connect with others, especially if you’re interested in religion, race, music, sound, affect or if you love hi-fives.
A non-alarmist friend of mine told me to make sure my passport is up-to-date in anticipation of the coming political season (if you get my drift). Woah. Shit. #realtalk
@thepressbox.bsky.social I don’t watch cable news. But I do listen to your podcast.
Let's talk about how to report on right-wingers without amplifying their hateful rhetoric. Far-right extremists count on YOU to spread their messages for them. Here's a thread of resources. 1) The Oxygen of Amplification: Better Practices for Reporting on Extremists, Antagonists, and Manipulators
The Oxygen of Amplification
New Data & Society report recommends editorial “better practices” for reporting on online bigots and manipulators; interviews journalists on accidental amplification of extreme agendas
