It is release day! @lmillerrenberg.bsky.social rrenberg.bsky.social and I are thrilled that Candles in the Darkness: Experiencing Advent with the Early and Medieval Church (with @ivpacademic.bsky.social) has made its way into the world. Come learn about Christ's advent from ancient Christians.

The BookFish Returneth! Inspired by a post by @jessemlocker.bsky.social, my #NewberryLibrary Edible Book Festival entry today channels this well-nigh unbelievable story about a fish found in 1626 with a book inside it. A Big Fish portending ALL sorts of things. Here's the source material. 📚🐟🧵 1/?

"I’m grateful to have someone articulate so clearly how AI will not in any way shape or form save educators time or exertion. In fact, all AI will do is require that we work more, harder, and on the parts of our job that shouldn’t even be our job."

Mark Watkins of the Chronicle of Higher Ed says faculty should spend 90 mins a week to teach ourselves about AI & unis are now sending out emails w his recommendation.

As part of living in the Arctic this year, I have learned quite a bit about geopolitical and security concerns in the region. I have seen firsthand the strength of our relationship with NATO and the EU, as well as this relationship’s vital role in protecting the Arctic from hostile intervention.

Time and space get a bit weird in the liturgical poems of Romanos the Melodist. Learn from the sixth century hymnographer, as his Advent reflections transports us to Eden, Bethlehem, the River Jordan, and the baptismal font in our own church.

On The ‘Middle’ Coming: Advent Reflections With Romanos

Time and space are peculiar during the Advent season. The emphasis on repeated family traditions resurrects memories of the past amidst present

Okay, why does this book matter? We held a conference in Melbourne in 2023, believing democratic-decay scholarship needs to pay attention to Rome, the only old democracy to fall from internal causes. I don’t need to say why that matters now. We want to bring #ancientbluesky and #polisci together. 🧵
