- I talk a lot about the lamentable lack of Mesopotamian-inspired games and media, so it would be insane of me to not share this Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/myf... It's a Lovecraftian point-and-click mystery game with Mesopotamian influences (the main character is called Enheduanna!).

- Just finalizing my questions for Wednesday's interview with Dr. Saana Svärd! I get asked about women in Mesopotamia a lot, so I'm really excited to be able to get some of those questions answered :D Join us at 11am EST, or watch after! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrjY...
- Does anyone know of anywhere I can buy lapel pins with an "Indiana Jones punching fascists" vibe? Bonus points if the purchase supports anti-fascist work!
- Going live on YouTube in 30 minutes to talk to Dr. Amanda Podany about the lives of ordinary people in Mesopotamia! Always been curious about how people like you lived 4,000 years ago? Now's your chance to ask an expert your questions!
- This isn't the flashiest segment of a Neo-Assyrian palace relief, but I absolutely love it. It shows two scribes, one writing on parchment (probably Aramaic), and one writing cuneiform on clay. Little details like this make my heart sing!

- Did you know that the word for “god” is a plural in Biblical Hebrew? אֱלֹהִים (elohim) We know it's a plural because of the way the word ends. The "-im" sound is the ending that indicates masculine plural nouns - similar to the "-s" ending of some plural words in English, like "dogs"!

- As promised, registration for Biblical Hebrew is now open! Aimed at complete beginners, this class is a fantastic introduction to Hebrew - the professor's pretty easy on the eyes, too (it's not sexual harassment if I'm married to him).

- For those interested, we'll be opening registration for Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, Middle Egyptian, and Ancient Sumerian in the coming weeks! Classes will start mid-January :D
