I’m deeply sorry for those who, due to health, money, family obligations, and many other reasons, could not attend. But density of physical proximity generates possibilities that would not occur otherwise.03 Dec 2024 20:45 +0000at://did:plc:uy7m5f4ncffw4iuum4dibcto/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcgiypwi7k2whttps://bsky.app/profile/brennanbreed.bsky.social/post/3lbnped5pa22gAfter a string of great papers, took a couple hours out of the day to walk along the beach in La Jolla and enjoy the sea lions and seals. Amazing! #sblaar2424 Nov 2024 00:02 +0000at://did:plc:uy7m5f4ncffw4iuum4dibcto/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbnped5pa22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/brennanbreed.bsky.social/post/3lbhsqfjqf224One of my #SBLAAR tips: get outside every now and again. There are two little parks behind the convention center and a walkway all right on the water. This is a nice places to move, get some sunshine, etc. Or walk into the gaslight district. Don’t forget you are a human with a body!21 Nov 2024 15:46 +0000at://did:plc:uy7m5f4ncffw4iuum4dibcto/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbhsqfjqf224https://bsky.app/profile/brennanbreed.bsky.social/post/3lbhocfrhs227Ready to get the party started on East coast time because of jet lag at #sblaar2421 Nov 2024 14:27 +0000at://did:plc:uy7m5f4ncffw4iuum4dibcto/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbhocfrhs227https://bsky.app/profile/brennanbreed.bsky.social/post/3layqlma43c2qHi there — I work in Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, and I focus on reception history, Sapiential literature including Daniel, and the late Persian/early Hellenistic period in the Levant and Egypt.15 Nov 2024 15:58 +0000at://did:plc:uy7m5f4ncffw4iuum4dibcto/app.bsky.feed.post/3layqlma43c2q
