Dankeschön!!
Und auf Deutsch :)

Are you interested or do you know someone who's interested in doing a PhD on Arabic translations of the Bible? The new #BibliaArabica long-term project is looking for candidates! (tbh, that would have been my dream position a few years back) Spread the word!
Big and very exciting news! We will soon have a long-term project in Munich @badw.de on the Jewish and Christian Arabic translations of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament #ArabicBible. Not only a wonderful topic, but the funding will enable otherwise impossible in-depth exploration.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...
Ein Flyer mit diversen gezeichneten Frauen, darauf steht: SPASS AUF DER WIESN, ABER SICHER! TIPPS FÜR MÄDCHEN* UND FRAUEN*
Und wo ist der Flyer, der Männer auffordert sich nicht wie übergriffige Arschlöcher zu verhalten?
Met museum photo of an ancient Egyptian rectangular wooden white-washed writing board with an exercise written in black hieratic script. It was written by a student named Iny-su whose spelling mistakes are corrected in red ink by the teacher. Hieratic script is an ancient Egyptian cursive version of hieroglyphics. The board measures 19 cm long x 43 cm wide and has a horizontal crack half way down the left-hand side. The wooden board was painted with white gesso, which now appears cream-coloured. This allowed boards to be whitewashed for use over and again. The exercise is a practice in formal letter writing. The student Iny-su addresses the letter (presumably jokingly) to his brother Peh-ny-su, treating him like a wealthy authority figure. Wood, gesso, paint pigment. Middle Kingdom, Dynasty 12, c. 1981–1802 BC.
Some things never change!

Am 17.09. werden auf dem Historikertag Überlegungen zur Reform der Personalstruktur an dt. Universitäten diskutiert. Wir freuen uns, dass auch die Fachverbände erkennen, dass es Reformbedarf gibt, v.a. im Hinblick auf die Situation von PDs, und sind gespannt auf die Diskussion.
Just lovely!
