Getting ready for a little Arabic script not Arabic or Persian language exhibit next week. Fun times.

First Ge'ez class in the house! So excited to work with these students this year, and also inspired to get back to Ge'ez.

Not signing up for "wholesome" experiences, thanks.

Interesting: I made a funny video on Foxe's book of Martyrs on tiktok, and because I said martyr, the algo has suppressed the video. Totally normal

That magic moment where you know something is now inside you is so beautiful with a language. Suddenly, a world opens, and you know you worked hard for it, but also, it was just a lot of play.

Probably a few years ago I could not have imagined sitting through an hour lecture on the periodization of Persian poetry delivered entirely in Farsi, but hey, good to always surprise yourself

Honoured to announce that the Hendrik Conscience Heritage Library has received the oldest book from #Antwerp, the Berchem Missal. Written c.1140 in the St. Michael's Abbey in Antwerp, is has been kept in the Parish of St. Willibrord (Berchem) for some 700 years. They now entrust it to us.

Walking into the break room at work to hear: "It's a top! A really good one!" Only to see someone playing with a spinning top. Happy Wednesday
