We’re all trying to find the guy who did this

SSHRC needs to kick in a bonus to letter writers to make up for the hours lost in waiting for their recommendation portal to load

Debate undergrads on campus while putting their profs on lists so that people who hate what they say can try to kill them is an approach, can’t say it’s a good one

Look at us staring at our screens like fools, searching for coherence in the politics of very online murder guys in their twenties.

People in North America should already care about Israel targeting Palestinians but it’s *also* a testing ground for all kinds of scary surveillance tech that’s going to be weaponized more widely

I feel like I’ve had so many arguments with other professional philosophers about how we need to just stop acting like Singer is this pivotal figure for animal rights, we can get there better without him and without sacrificing all kinds of marginalized people along the way

I didn’t even make it there since I had to stop once it went yay Peter Singer. Like I know the guy is famous but we don’t need someone who values disabled people’s lives so very little. I get that @ologies.bsky.social can’t vet everything but this was like an impossible listen for me

New York Times journalists as well - go on, quit your jobs

This article just reminded me of this old tweet

Where’s the lie, babe

People who are interested can now find a book symposium on my Cambridge Element, Logical Empiricism as Scientific Philosophy here: link.springer.com/collections/...

Thanks to Elisabeth Nemeth, James Pearson, and @audreysh.bsky.social for participating!

In all possible worlds you did this last summer

I remain stressed about when this podcast comes for the role academic philosophy has to play in this whole travesty

NYT vaguely describing Palestinian deaths while Haaretz describes “killing fields” of Israeli troops murdering people seeking aid.

See if you can spot the difference between New York Times propaganda and the Israeli press. I know it’s subtle, let me know if you can’t figure it out.

Summer Heat in Prison: Just How Hot Are Our Nation’s Prisons? Prison writers from across the U.S. describe how hot their prisons get in the summer. One prison reached 117 degrees.

Helen was a beautiful person, philosopher, and artist, and I’m glad to have been their friend. They certainly will be remembered.

I taught this in philosophy of language last year and it was great!

I wrote a really short piece for Hypatia about being an abolitionist and a survivor and why philosophers are such jerks (Literally I started writing this after giving a talk about the book I wrote with Barrett Emerick since Q&A made me feel like utter shit) doi.org/10.1017/hyp....

At least 27 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire at food point, Gaza officials say Gaza spokesperson says Israel fired with tanks and drones as Israeli military acknowledges troops shot at ‘suspects’

Another 27 Palestinians were massacred by Israeli soldiers while trying to access food. No international condemnation by every western politician. No two way sanctions. Nothing.

May 25 marks five years since George Floyd was murdered by police in Minneapolis. His death sparked worldwide protests, but long before that moment, Floyd’s life told a story that many people in prison recognize.

It’s funny how this kind of article never gets written when, say, an American member of the “pro-Israel movement” murders a 6 year old child of Palestinian heritage at the outset of a conflict that would see the world’s most moral army slaughter more than 16,000 children with utter impunity

Revealed: Oregon spent funds meant for addiction services on prosecutors and police gadgets As the state abandons decriminalization, treatment grants are going to sheriffs and district attorneys: ‘that might be two or three case managers’

How can people say Oregon's drug decriminalization effort failed, when it was never implemented properly? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Israel launches expanded ground invasion to ‘conquer’ Gaza as Trump Gulf tour wraps up Israel announced the initial phase of “Gideon’s chariots,” the expanded ground invasion to permanently “conquer” Gaza, amid reports that Trump reneged on his deal with Hamas to lift the blockade,...

Israel announced the initial phase of “Gideon’s chariots,” the expanded ground invasion to permanently “conquer” Gaza, amid reports that Trump reneged on his deal with Hamas to lift the blockade, and will reportedly expel 1 million Gazans to Libya.

#Palestine #Israel

old enough to remember the breathless litigation over whether or not it was credible that the IDF may have possibly bombed 1 (one) hospital

Wow I guess they were right you really can’t even say “woman” anymore

I had such a great time! Excited for this to be out in the world!

World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

It’s hard to keep up with all the evil stuff this administration is doing, but if I stay online and keep doomscrolling, I just might do it.

It is fucking exhausting watching people think that pandering to the right will be the way forward so I hope so too
