Too bad about the anti-Jewish ‘slip’ uttered by the Doctor in Sunday’s ep. of
#DoctorWho
. Old Testament = death penalty; NT = love they neighbour? That false myth is irresponsible and dangerous. Also, Love Thy Neighbour is LITERALLY in Lev 19:18.

I appreciate everyone sharing their difficult and often harrowing stories of being pregnant and wanting an abortion. Some of the circumstances are chilling. I also want to say that *not wanting to be pregnant* is a good enough reason to have an abortion.

PLEASE can people stop putting a definite article in front of “Jews”? I never see scholars of the New Testament say THE Christians but somehow it’s OK to say THE Jews, as if there’s some monolithic group with clear boundaries and aims?? Just stop.

I’m getting some responses from men about this tweet along the lines of “I already do this!!” Great. Now call out other men. Ask when you review articles for publication. Bring it up in book reviews. Train your students. Ask colleagues at conferences. Do the work.
Men: when you write papers, make sure you don’t just cite white men. If you only cite white men YOU ARE GUARANTEED to be missing a huge range of incisive and ground-breaking scholarship. Actually go through your citations and COUNT.

An important takeaway from
@DrSaraParks
‘a paper is ‘the Brooten phenomenon’—when a woman publishes important work which is *ignored for decades* by ‘malestream’ scholarship. Brooten’s work on the synagogue is *still* not integrated into current research on synagogue worship.

Some of the texts were spelled strangely. This led me to discover a source for this vitriolic & inaccurate representation of Jewish texts. It’s spread beyond this text, but its widespread use is in part bc of how widely available this book is. 6/14
