Do you work on space and place? Come to Stirling this Fall 2026! I am organising a workshop on the ocassion of Jeff Malpas visiting the CSPM @memoryplace.bsky.social CFP at philevents.org/event/show/1...

Fui me inteirar da nova treta do Monark com o Flow, ouvi ele falar por 20 minutos só dando o toque que tem chance de esse cara estar simplesmente tendo um episódio público de psicose.

Something deeply troubling & shocking is happening at Exeter University*, where a mass cull of staff is planned, even though it's in surplus. No good justifications given. @jamesgdyke.info provides the details: www.technosphere.earth/the-bonfire-... *Disclosure: I have a Visiting Fellowship here. +🧵

I can't wait for temperatures to drop so I can go back to being unnecessarily hostile for personality reasons instead of meteorological ones.

I’d love it if you’d sign this. It might not prevent me and my colleagues losing our jobs, but it will draw attention to the ideological vandalism being perpetrated by the wealthy execs running our university.

Ces temps - Phd Ceremony invitation (Won't attend, I'm too far :/) + double exposure + spring + long exposure

How could I forget this

One of my favorite Cabo Verde facts is that it has a genre of music that arose after an abandoned ship washed up in 1968, carrying hundreds of keyboards and synths

Whenever you think you're stupid, remember that in my country, a woman was thrown from a height of 40 meters in free fall while doing an extreme sport because no one on her team noticed that she wasn't attached to the rope.

Latest papers: Zamir Kadodia & Joel Krueger draw on frameworks such as the neurodiversity paradigm and niche construction theory to reframe the concept of epistemic injustice as a distributed phenomenon in this open access article doi.org/10.1080/0951... #philsky #philpsy

For this year's FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, the FIFA Peace award winner bombs a competing nation.

Yep

I'm very grateful to the Exeter-Birmingham network for all the support they've given to my work. You are truly amazing.

My post on Imperfect Cognitions is out, discussing how memory features can change psychopathological grief in the age of AI. The longer text version can be found here: open.substack.com/pub/nathalia... imperfectcognitions.blogspot.com?m=1

I have written on how artificial intelligence might change grief culture and Prolonged Grief Disorder. A shorter version of this post will be published in Imperfect Cognitions tomorrow, the longer one below also talks about ghosts in the history of technology 👀👻 open.substack.com/pub/nathalia...

AHHAHAHAHAH

I thought Frexit (yes, really) was just a boomer concept fueled by cognitive impairment, but someone spray-painted it on my street. I guess they must be young...

Achei que a internet tinha acabado até ver brasileiros nos comentários do threads, por favor continuem.

I had the worst morning of my life in the last two years and when I got to work, there was a notification in the system saying I was absent even though I had literally just arrived. Are there any other cases where your parallel self carried out the idea the earthling you were only considering? 👀

Só eu que acho o botão de CARE a coisa mais cínica do facebook? É tipo um "vc é um semi conhecido e me sinto constrangido de simplesmente ignorar seu post, mas não vou amar tb". Sim, uso fb, não pq tenho 90 anos, mas pq nós filósofos ficamos sem rede depois que o xis acabou e essa aqui é uma merda 🫠

Sometimes I wonder whether the existential weight of being Latin American existed so that thousands upon thousands of different forms of pain could redeem themselves through the most wonderful literature ever written. In the photo: I am reading Grande Sertão: Veredas after 11 years abroad.

Les droits d'inscription pour les étudiants étrangers s'élèvent à 2895€ en Licence chaque année et 3941€ en Master. Ils n'ont par ailleurs pas le droit de travailler plus d'un mi-temps. Ces règles discriminatoires génèrent des situations sociales impossibles. J'ai signé la pétition 🔽

Since the end of 2024, I’ve been waiting for life to bless me with a sensory experience as rich as the day I dreamed I was trapped inside The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch. In hell, obviously.

Un peu plus de Genève 👀🇨🇭

I joked twice that "I’m not white enough to attend the IPM" when people ask if I’m going (because the conference is in the USA), but now that I’ve noticed everyone else who isn’t going, the joke is actually data analysis in the end 🫠

spoiler alert: it won't involve reading

My toxic trait is that the sentences found in Wednesday Addams memes are very similar to the sentences I say in ordinary life.

Finally I am using that degree for something

I am becoming more and more creeped out when my friends say "this reminded me of you" followed by an image. For instance:

I hope this becomes a vibe

Me going back to the uni I got expelled from, whose relationship to women has always felt conceptually unstable, just cause I really like a friend who’s speaking there, is a very specific genre of entertainment I can provide to my friends. Especially bc I defended my PhD elsewhere a few weeks ago 😬

I hated Switzerland the first time I went, but yesterday I went back for a stroll with @zecamillo.bsky.social and now I’m in love. Not with the prices though. Definitelyin love with Café Mimiche, Geneva 🇨🇭💸

At the school of someone I know Mother’s Day and Father’s Day got removed for inclusivity. Last year they became Parent 1 and Parent 2 Day. This year it has evolved into 'the day of the people we love'. My friend’s children then chose to make gifts for their cats instead of their parents.

I’m writing about embodiment and the afterlife in medieval philosophy while co-authoring with someone who, to me, existed only as a voice from beyond on Zoom for months. Always in transit, never on camera. A bit on the nose. She added me on LinkedIn today—with a picture—and I’m strangely relieved.

Curiously my Phd period before Cologne sucked so much that not even temporary unemployment is topping that 🤣🤣 - a weird type of winning.

Finishing a Phd = increasing my glasses correction oh so very much. Still deciding on the new one, hopefully tomorrow 🐈

I just made a section on my website full of pictures of my thesis years. Just go to nathaliadeavila.com/affective-time-travel or click on Affective Time Travel (term by Katja Crone) in the menu. Photo: My first conference in Milan, during the design week (what a privilege!), 2018.

I logged in my old twitter account and found this post from August 2024. Apparently all my AI wishes came true, can someone unwish this and see what happens

☕️🌸🇩🇪

I am PhDone! THAT WAS VERY VERY LONG 👻. I got magna cum laude (final grade = 0.35). This is my thesis summary nathaliadeavila.com/phd-project. In short: I'm an enactivist + causalist (🤷🏽‍♀️).we remember things bodily and at times get mentally ill. somehow there is an embodied unconscious involved.

*Change of date

Dude has got a point

Come along! #philosophy #philsky #memory

Finally: Empedocles, in his own words...

Eu vi um vídeo na rede vizinha de uma menina usando um site q replica as informações q a IA do google tem sobre vc a partir das suas fotos. Ela era estadunidense e fez comparações com fotos com roupas diferentes. Mas essa IA reconhece também local da foto, dai me bateu a ideia de fazer outro teste

Life lately: Emil Eva Rosina in Lyon, giraffe, suspicious love considerations, me overspending on a coat because it's pink as my birthday is in about 2 weeks and my Phd defense in about 3 weeks. Actually because of this I got exmatrikulated from Uni Köln yesterday 🤯🤷🏽‍♀️🩷🌸

My paper with @bastienperroy.bsky.social on temporal disorientation is now out! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Among us baby scholars in phenomenology/4E (distinction pending), a mood has emerged and it is called “intellectual anticipatory grief” in light of Thomas Fuchs’ retirement - the collective atmosphere giving vibes of "the end of an era". Anyone else feeling it?
