@joantaylor.bsky.social we did it!! We got the Bible changed! Honestly I wasn't even thinking about how the footnotes might change in Matthew 27 and Luke 8. These updated footnotes are in the brand-new third edition of the Jewish Annotated New Testament. Buy it here: global.oup.com/academic/pro...
Tomorrow's handout for my Immigration 101 lecture is really throwing the students in the deep end.

From a journalist who's covered abortion for a decade: this is a HUGE deal. SBA Pro-Life America is the top political group in this space. It had so far refused to publicly embrace using the dormant Comstock Act to restrict abortion (like ADF, AUL, Students for Life). That reticence ended on Friday
Susan Rinkunas@susanrinkunas.com · 4w agoNEW: Big escalation from top anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America. For the first time, SBA calls on Trump admin to enforce the Comstock Act—a 19th-century law conservatives hope to use to ban abortion pills nationwide, if not all abortions cdn.prod.website-files.com/6a3d74d3d45b...
![screenshot from a letter released on Friday, August 7, 2026. this is the second page
Not only does this language appear nowhere in the Comstock Act but, as a practical matter, a sender’s subjective intent and a recipient’s intended use are unknowable, making the Comstock Act a dead letter.
The plain text of the Comstock Act that Congress actually passed focuses instead on “article[s] or thing[s]” and whether they can be used for abortion. The OLC opinion’s title actually confirms
this: “Application of the Comstock Act to the Mailing of Prescription Drugs That Can Be Used for Abortions.” That is the sole focus of both the Comstock Act’s text and the purposes behind it.
Again, we thank you for pledging to evaluate whether the OLC opinion is consistent with the statute Congress actually passed and look forward to the result of your review.

If you have so much work to do that you feel you need AI in order to get it all done: you don't. You need a union.
You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

I am writing on a subject on which everyone cites a prize-winning MA thesis that seems to be *un-gettable.* I contacted the archivist at the university where the thesis was written, and they got nothing. 1/6

Repost this if you’ve gone to the doctor or you’ve seen a dog. I’m a teacher trying to show my students that it’s possible to repost stuff under certain circumstances like if a post asks you to and you’ve gone to something or seen something
It's almost like we shouldn't have put every single university course in America on a single ed-tech platform with the security sophistication of a rusty door latch.
