This is a much more generous interpretation than mine, which is that Pokémon is basically cockfighting.

Fun fact: a lot of Pokémon are based on Shinto spirits.

All this example tells me is that there are superficial similarities (woman?) that are completely irrelevant to understanding this very specific figure.

It is the year of our calendar 2026 and I don't know what these people are talking about with their comparisons to a religion I am not a part of nor have studied.

I have put together a handout- it discusses the differences in HS vs uni readings, the impact that has, and suggestions for students doing readings

Feel free to use and circulate to any first years :)

Example: Kuan Yin provides solace and inspiration, serving a function not unlike that of the Madonna or Guadalupe. However, the legends that give rise to Kuan Yin are, at least in some ways, more complex than those of her Christian counterparts.

Dear scholars (especially of religion). Please, please, please stop writing articles on Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. that use vague references to Christianity as if it is as the default tradition to which all others can be compared.

It’s nice to see some reporting on Nepal outside of Kathmandu.

there are two kinds of historians: historians who need to stop reading and write, and historians who need to stop writing and read

I gave a talk in a ripped t-shirt once because the conference was in my hometown and all the olds decided to go the hospital while I was there. I don’t think anyone cared, tbh.

This is why no one believes me when I say I’m a spicy white person. Sit this woman down in my kitchen. I have 38 jars of spices and herbs and 2/3 of my fridge is sauces. Plus 5 and a half pounds of melt your face New Mexico green chile in the freezer.
