Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.

Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

When Moodle was introduced at my uni years ago, some techie referred to faculty as "content providers." We weren't exalted enough to be called "creators."

The current reality is appalling enough. Don't add to it by posting more lies.

Officially, today is the International Day of Women's Rights, which makes Zell even more salient.

"I am convinced that if I agreed with our preachers in everything I would be called the most pious and knowledgeable woman born in Germany. But since I disagree I am called an arrogant person."

Here's to uppity women, past and present.

For International Women's Day, here is Katharina SchΓΌtz Zell of Strasbourg (1497-1562), the first known female Protestant reformer. She wrote a number of evangelical pamphlets calling for the reform of the church, despite the disapproval of her male colleagues, with whom she occasionally clashed.

Cafeteria biblicism is universal to all Christian churches. Each one picks and chooses what it likes in scripture and ignores the rest.

Unprecedented? The Roman Republic comes to mind. As does the Second German Reich blustering its way into World War One.

Can you add some punctuation to this run-on sentence? It's a little hard to follow.

The two scholars being me and @pauldlockhart.bsky.social, I should add.

Reposting this. I have two scholars for this panel so far and need a third. If you're doing work work on the 1570s and want to be in Chicago next October, please send me a DM.
