A Couple of Announcements
Good morning everyone!
This is a short post to make a couple of announcements.
First, I wanted to make you aware of a new article published yesterday. My piece There Was A Man Who Had Two Sons: A Parable of Futurity, Reproductivity, Utopia, and Social Death was published in the Journal for Interdisciplinary Biblical Studies. That journal, by the way, is open access and freely available online; you should check out all their innovative and fascinating articles! This article is a reading of the parable of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15 through the lens of queer futurity and theories of reproductivity. It’s academic, so it’s jargony, but I think it’s worth it. I’m pretty pleased with it! You can reach it at the link above.
Second, I wanted to let you know that I have added a “Tip Jar” to my home page. If you go to the main page of this Substack (which is ericcsmith.substack.com) and scroll down, you can find a category labeled “Tip Jar.” You can also reach it at this link. That will allow you to make a donation without starting a subscription, or it will allow you to make a donation in addition to your subscription, if you already have one. Folks have asked for this (seriously!), so I’m adding it. As always, I’m really grateful to everyone who reads this Substack, whether you’re a financial supporter or not, and I’m very grateful to everyone who has the means and the willingness to offer financial support.
Stay tuned for the regular post on Monday!
