Guys, if you haven’t had a chance to read Rafe’s “When a Human Gives Birth to a Raven” (open access with UCP) do it! It’s a game-changer! If you don’t have time for the entire book, my review came out this week with AJS Review.

After Charlie Kirk's death, teachers and professors nationwide fired or disciplined over social media posts
At least a dozen faculty and staff have faced fallout over insensitive comments online.

I am teaching Ancient Law this semester. It's a surprisingly tough subject to teach if you live/are affected in any way by the present. myriad presumptions we have about law are hard to bear when certain people are criminalized for existing.
