i'm not sure muscles are that useful in spiritual warfare, a bit like bringing a lollipop to a gun fight.

Keep getting confused by the acronym for the gov's new Tertiary Research Excellence Fund, important not to write it as TERF to avoid confusion.

My plan was to rework one last article idea from my 2010 masters thesis and then put the thesis up on a free repository for anyone to read. Now that I am halfway through reworking it . . .

. . . I have spotted enough terrible mistakes to realise I never want this abomination to be read by another human. Notably they are all in my final chapter which I wrote in what seemed to me at the time to be the white heat of inspiration . . .

. . . but now I know it was just hubris and mild hysteria. question is, will I feel the same way about the work i am doing now in 16 years time? Eeek, that's a demotivating thought.

it truly is amazing what you can find online for free. even if hope is slim, it's always worth checking dokumen.pub/poetae-comici-grā¦

a bit of reception history here for a Lukan parable scholar . . .
An antidote to the moral masochism thatās become rampant in the psychotherapy professions:
āI reread the story of the Good Samaritan in the Gospel of Luke. The parable, well known, concerns a man set upon by thieves and left for dead:
[The Samaritan] bound up his wounds... and set him on his own beast and brought him to an inn and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two coins and gave then to the innkeeper and said unto him, āTake care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more,ā when I come again, I will repay thee.ā
āTake care of him,ā says the Samaritan. He delegates the caretaking of the victim to another! The story of the Good Samaritan is not, as I had vaguely recalled, one of selfless endless availability ālike the 24-hour store.ā The biblical passage suggests the ethical possibility, even the ethical necessity of doing a finite amount, engaging others to help, and then moving on... [It] points to a balance between concern for self and a concern for othersāa lesson for all times.ā

I know I like to complain about peer review, but cant imagine also having to get my work through RC censorship! Although I know a few Prots who would love to be the censors . . .

then AI doubled internet traffic and everything turned to lumpy custard.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.
Ownership quietly became renting.

Duncan Derrett (NovTest, 1977) moves from exegetical comments to life advice, and i am here for it. Bonus points if you can guess which parables he is worked up about.

and not just time (as precious and essential as that is), but also access to literature and sources.
Producing numerous publications in humanities isnt a sign of genius or rigor, its a sign of resources. Academic orgs, grants, named fellowships - they all celebrate folks who simply have the most time to publish. 1/2
