Tweet from @KayeSteinsapir reading: "It's disheartening when your child dies, you make the excruciating decision to donate her organs (which substantially compounds your grief and trauma), then you have to pay $3150 because your insurance company @AnthemBCBS wouldn't pay to keep her body alive for donor recipients."

Hey #philsky! I’m editing a volume of AAPT Studies in Pedagogy on joy and playfulness in teaching. Deadline is Jan 13 and we are accepting both full-length papers and shorter reflections. I’m also open to people being playful with the form/genre itself. Consider submitting! Link to CFP below.
I created a starter pack for philosophers (and one or two folks adjacent to philosophy) who are interested in, and contribute to philosophical pedagogy.
It's decidedly incomplete for now, so if you don't mind, please help me find folks who work on teaching philosophy!

Read my biography of Henri Bergson to find out about his philosophy of durée, his secret meeting with President Wilson during WWI, the experiments he and Pierre Curie conducted on an Italian medium, and why he caused the 1st traffic jam on Broadway!

Is it too late to start a petition to call posts on Bluesky “Clouds”? ☁️ ⛅️ 🌧️
The Brave Little Toaster—especially the car junkyard scene. At the time I didn’t have the words, but it made uncomfortable to face ideas about uselessness, waste, and death.
Oh man, this movie disturbed me as a kid for reasons I couldn’t really articulate either. I need to revisit it!
