Happy to announce that Prof. Petra Sijpesteijn & I finished the edition & study of an early papyrus list of Islamic prophet Muhammad's wives—which I'd discovered a few years ago—earlier this week. Here's a photo of the recto exhibiting the title [u]mmuhāt al-muʾminīn. Stay tuned!

This iconic bit turns 30 years old today.

I assume anyone who has supported Portsmouth FC for more than 30 seconds knows what happens on Saturday v 23rd placed Leicester after we’ve just beaten Boro and Ipswich. 🔵

Next month, Edinburgh University Press will publish "Christians in Middle Eastern History: Strangers No More," a collection of essays I've edited with John-Paul Ghobrial, Michael Reynolds, and Jack Tannous. This has been in the works for a long time! edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-christian…

Artemis II crew is thousands of miles away from Earth And they’re asking ground crew for help because they have two versions of Microsoft Outlook open and neither is working This scene is now canon 😭

One of the most confusing posts I have seen on this site in some time.

Why do we still call them “Ancient Roman inscriptions” when SPQR-code is right there?

Agree with many others here that the most interesting thing going on in this case is Gorsuch's Corleone-settling of all family business on the Major Questions Doctrine. His knifing of half the majority he voted with, to say nothing of the dissents on the Right, will be what gets cited from this case by posterity.

I don't know this person, but the 'farewell' made me stop scrolling. And then I got sad because I wasn't expecting it to be so human and deep in that moment. It felt important to pause and honor that and the artist's life. So I wanted to give others a chance to as well. This is also their desk and I thought it was really dope to see where they created. You can tell they truly loved creating and it showed. Hoping their art will live on for a long time and that they made it to their next destination. Art is human. Art is life. We can never let it become anything other than this.
