Question unrelated to chips. Does your calico scream at you like she’s in agony? Mine does and I’m thinking this may be a calico thing.

I’m briefly in India. This is a facile observation, but Americans have barely scratched the surface in understanding how the rest of the world is reacting to this war. It’s already an Iraq War-style disaster in the global imagination, underscored by the thuggishness and caprice of the Trump approach

I haven’t had a car in 15 years but this makes me miss the 1959 Austin Healey I used to drive. Don’t even have a radio let alone a privacy policy.

The irony is CCP and FLG both share rather romanticized, and completely ridiculous views about ‘China’s 5000 years of civilisation’ they just disagree on who should be doing the oppressing

This book is pure gold. Did you know Jehovah was possibly a Vesuvian space commander?

(Sorry for the lack of alt text. It’s silly nonsense.)

This is a much more generous interpretation than mine, which is that Pokémon is basically cockfighting.

Fun fact: a lot of Pokémon are based on Shinto spirits.

All this example tells me is that there are superficial similarities (woman?) that are completely irrelevant to understanding this very specific figure.

It is the year of our calendar 2026 and I don't know what these people are talking about with their comparisons to a religion I am not a part of nor have studied.

I have put together a handout- it discusses the differences in HS vs uni readings, the impact that has, and suggestions for students doing readings

Feel free to use and circulate to any first years :)

Example: Kuan Yin provides solace and inspiration, serving a function not unlike that of the Madonna or Guadalupe. However, the legends that give rise to Kuan Yin are, at least in some ways, more complex than those of her Christian counterparts.

Dear scholars (especially of religion). Please, please, please stop writing articles on Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. that use vague references to Christianity as if it is as the default tradition to which all others can be compared.
