New A24 horror movie concept: a Lin Manuel Miranda / Matthew Morrison collab

My dream job is just whatever Nathan Fielder does. If any philosophy departments are hiring a “Nathan Fielder-style” position, you know how to reach me.

Today I had a fellow university employee/student ask me why packages on every floor of the building my department is in are going uncollected. I’m glad you found me, sir. While I am in an office called “graduate student office,” that is merely a ruse—for I am actually the Boss of University Packages

Being gluten free in an airport is hell because I’m eating warm baby carrots I’ve have in my bag since 10am and a gluten free hot dog bun. Nothing in it. Just a bun.

Just watched a girl walk into the ocean, fill up a plastic cup with water, and CHUG half of it. Much to think about.

Adult only airlines when

Writing 7,000 words in one day has me 🥴

See you next month, Boston! Anyone else heading to the PLATO Conference? 🥳😎

Just found out bones make blood. Have a lot to think about.

🥹💕

Don’t worry…I’m still out here running 🏃🏻‍♀️ 💜 I’m raising money for Project Purple in honor of my grandma and her journey with pancreatic cancer. My training for the 2025 Chicago Marathon has officially started. 🏃🏻‍♀️ 💜

I sure picked a fun profession for someone who cannot stand entitled, rich-people-privileged-bull**** huh…. 🙄

When I have professor money my younger siblings aren’t getting SHIT for Christmas because what the hell are these suggestions? 😂💀

You ever try to stretch your travel funding in new creative ways and genuinely start looking into attending a time share presentation for cheaper accommodations? Yeah…me neither…totally wouldn’t do that…

Imagine not being able to read a room as bad as Katy Perry and the rich ****s on that space flight. I’m so glad your 11 minute space trek made you feel “connected to love” … im sure the people without food, housing, and healthcare are so thrilled for your love connection!!!! Girlbosses in space 🤩🤩🤩

First antique show of the seasonnnn — Scored a 1977 oracle/tarot deck that’s rare-ish and goes for $300-$500 online for $60 🤩

Yesterday my roommates boyfriend (not a philosopher) asked me if Blade Runner was inspired by Descartes and I felt my brain do a hard reset

There is not enough soothing calming tea in the world to get me through the rest of this semester with my sanity in tact 💀 it’s crash out season 😀

Taking some HUGE risks right now (I’m switching running shoe brands)

Had a blast judging for the national bioethics bowl championship yesterday that was hosted at Westminster in SLC @ meeting @brilarson.bsky.social in person ✨ #bioethics #ethicsbowl #ethics #philsophy

Today my students found out I’m 29 and one said “HOLY SHIT NO WAY…BRUH” and then laughed 💀💀

Traveled with my 1000 & 3000 level Ethics Bowl students to Salt Lake City this weekend! They competed in the Collegiate Bioethics Bowl at Westminster University. We didn’t advanced to finals, but I’ve had a ton of fun teaching them this semester & learning from and with them! Now, time to explore. 😎

The philosophy of math was created as a personal attack on my well being and sanity, and is thus an official, hostile enemy of Briopolis. Please stop the violence. Choose peace.

What if the spring semester ended right now instead of in May ahah that would be soooo wild (please I’m begging)

Citing my prophetic dreams and my beautiful mind as the only sources in my dissertation ✨🥰

My first publication is online! My coauthors and I argue for an Ethics Bowl-style pedagogical approach as one way to mitigate conflicts in the classroom. Hopefully some can find our insights valuable given ✨ everything that’s happening ✨ www.pdcnet.org/aaptstudies/...

Excited to be a recipient of this award for my project, “Narrative, Identity, and Philosophy for Children: Empowering Self-Understanding in Disadvantaged Schools.” 🥳

Hi Philosophers! I’m recruiting again for the APA Blog's Graduate Student Chronicles. I am currently recruiting for summer posts and have slots for June, July, and August. (recruiting for the 2025-2026 AYwill start in late summer, but feel free to reach out now, and I'm happy to pencil you in)

For every math equation I see in a philosophy paper I gain one new grey hair. Stop the madness. Reject Big Math.

Big discoveries today

Thanks to fellow @ucphilosophy.bsky.social grad @clif-clemotte.bsky.social for contributing to the Grad Student Chronicles on the Blog of the APA! Check out his post about auto mechanics and philosophy 🧰🧑‍🔧📚 shorturl.at/amzXH

Fully convinced having a hot pink bedazzled Razr flip phone would help me level up in life

A student is emailing me for a syllabus for a class I’m teaching in the fall. It’s March 5th. Please….

Another day another mystery food that has left me in the fetal position in pain 😀😀😀😀

Today my grandma Joyce finished chemo for pancreatic cancer. I have so much to say but find myself at a loss for how to articulate how proud I am of her. 🔔💜🎗️

Walking into the a building on campus (at University of Cincinnati) and hearing people protesting SB1 brought me to tears anyway ways y’all’s morning? 😭

An inspiring article on courageous community college leaders who are *publicly* organizing and standing up against DEI attacks.. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

The University Of Cincinnati is replacing all of it's restroom signs with ones that designate use to only biological sex.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Male grad instructors please please please stop befriending your undergrads while they’re still students. It’s inappropriate and the impacts it can have on female and non-male grad instructors is bad!!! This should be obvious but I guess it’s not!!

Attending the Central APA? Find PhD Student @brilarson.bsky.social co-chairing a session at @theaapt.bsky.social Teaching Hub called ‘Why Graduate Students Should Get Involved in High School Summer Philosophy Programs’!

Headless horsemen

Living in cities is so foul because the air hurts to breathe half the time and you can’t see the stars and it’s never quiet

29th annual me day ✨🎂🍸🪩🌙🖤🎶

Bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad

Very much wishing I didn’t have to finish out my PhD in the US right now. What a joke.

SAY DRAKE-

That “I’m done with an R&R (for now)” feeling
