I'm trying to write, really I am! But as my dad used to say, "The faster I go, the behinder I get."🤪

From both my experience and research, the best way of getting a skeptical, potentially even hostile, audience to consider a paradigm shift is NOT TO CALL IT A PARADIGM SHIFT.

Sent out an email that might cause some people moments of happiness! Also money. Money can absolutely result in moments of happiness. 🥰

Can't wait to announce this!!!

#AmWorking and I misread "curricular" as "circular"

Honestly made more sense that way!

#AmWorking Again my workplace Outlook is sending me backdated emails. Gevalt. Got several just now that were sent yesterday. I sometimes tell myself, OK maybe I just wasn't logged in, but now I can clearly remember that I checked my email last night and also manually reloaded the page. So it's really not me...

I wonder if just downloading everything to a mail client would solve this or if it is a server-side issue. Anyone had similar?

#Outlook #wtf #Microsoft

Slowwwlllly catching up after being sick. Finished a big thing today. *dramatically crosses it off of the to-do list*

My actual jobs are also back in swing. I taught in person! Only once though, due to the weather.

Emails are also happening - not done yet, but I made a dent in them.

Have been trying not to overdo things, so please be patient - thank you!

#AmWorking I really was hoping I'd be able to teach at least via Zoom tomorrow, but I have trouble speaking, so it won't happen...

I ended up making an asynchronous assignment they can do without me speaking, but it took a while.

Really fed up with being sick. #LifeUpdate

Found out while working that the Talmudology blog is run by Jeremy Brown, Dr. Erica Brown's husband! I didn't know (it's mentioned on the website, but in a really modest & understated way). Power couple!

Talmudology you can read online, and from Erica Brown I recommend her book-length treatment of Jonah, The Reluctant Prophet. (Then you can read more, but this is a good place to start.)

Sorry I haven't been around much. Dealing with a rather unfortunate plumbing situation on top of everything (no, this is not a metaphor for genitals or anything, it is about actual plumbing).

Reading students' final papers right now and really appreciating them, though! #LifeUpdate #AmWorking

I'm busy this week with various brain-filling activities. Once I get further along I'll feel a lot better about posting. Right now it seems like a path to distraction and guilt! #amworking #amwriting #amfamilying

Today was my last day of teaching in the semester. Also end of semester + Chanukah event at the department!

This has been a very busy semester and I want to sleep for a week, but I actually have a lot to do + #AJS2022 coming up.

Caught up on grading!! Sound the trumpets!! #AmWorking

Mood. #amworking

It's 8am and I just finished a glass of Loch Lomond. My work week is going splendidly. #amworking

It's ok... I work graveyards.

Seeing such big gender disparities in scholar bios on Wikipedia, I am wondering if the essay-writing assignment for my Jewish mysticism class could be turned into a Wikipedia-page-writing assignment the next time (Fall 2023, plenty of time to plan).

I know some Wikipedians have done something like this - does anyone know who do I reach out to to ensure this goes as well as possible for everyone involved?

He's magic, I tell you. One purr and you just melt away.
