Shaimaa has a funded place at Edinburgh to study for a PhD with me, but is stuck in Gaza due to Home Office restrictions. I'm proud of her for speaking about her situation on TV and grateful to reporter Paris Gourtsoyannis for covering her story. news.stv.tv/east-central...

"There is something genuinely mind-bending about it, something exhausting and scattering of resolve when it seems that finally, something seems to be shifting and sanity is prevailing, and then it doesn’t."

I graduated!!! First class honours in philosophy and got an award for getting the best grades on my course. Masters, you ain't ready for me 🧑‍🎓💞 #graduation #cardiffgrad

I do not feel 21 😆

Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely." Which, you know, surprise surprise brother, but you're also not going to like it when we stop refusing nicely.

Note to self: don't get four earlobe piercings all at once when you have a bad cold. Struggle central right now 😵 (I look great though 😎)

Coming round on the whole "trans joy" thing purely because of how upset it makes the worst people in the world when we're publicly happy. That's right, I'm being joyful out of spite now.

Difficult difficult lemon difficult

Oh how this would go perfectly in one of my university modules on the philosophy of online speech 🥹

My fave philosopher did a talk at my university, and I successfully asked her a decent question - suddenly, my outlook on life has improved

Got an email that my fave philosopher is coming to do a talk at my university next week and I literally jumped out my seat. Received some odd looks....

An unexpected issue I am running into with writing multiple university essays on aspects of Austin's speech act theory is explaining the same concepts in ways that are sufficiently different to all my other essays to avoid looking like I've self-plagiarised. Shockingly difficult 😵‍💫 #philsky

I love #valentinesday it's a fantastic excuse to buy myself a prezzie and go out for a meal 😋

Never thought I'd spend hours of my day voluntarily just thinking about speech act theory and ways to expand upon it but here we are #philsky

Starting to feel really great about my plans to go into academia and lecturing...

My ethics of knowing essays for real omg 😭

Well. "Cardiff University has £506m in unrestricted reserves, which has increased by more than 50% in a year." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The one thing that has made my university experience a good one is the staff on the philosophy team. The lecturers and staff at the university ARE WHAT MAKE THE UNIVERSITY. Their plans to cut over 50% of staff are morally horrendous and will lead to the downfall of the university as a whole

Trynna be like this diva going into 2025

PSA to #DoctorWho showrunners, you don't have to compete to make the most miserable Christmas special ever. I will literally never watch #DoctorWhoJoyToTheWorld again because it made me genuinely so sad. Justice for Trev 😭

Merry Christmas ❤️💚

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, and a lovely Wednesday to all who don't ❤️💚

When you're yelling down the pub phone this is who you're yelling at btw

I used to ADORE Harry Potter as a kid- but really, it's not that good.... that and she's a raging TERF.

FREE MY GUY HE'S INNOCENT

Nice thing to do but also absolutely horrific that the healthcare system is so bad that a person in labour had to aid another person in labour to get that baby out alive like wtf

Best Christmas song and I will make it my mission to ruin everyone's whamagedon year on year

Reading a philosophical book and mostly disagreeing with everything and then realising I'm also a third year undergrad who's only ever written 2800 word maximum essays 😭

Only for trans though. Cis kids can still be prescribed them as normal but clearly trans kids don't deserve to feel more comfortable in their bodies- you're disgusting. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

Good morning to everyone except Wes Streeting. Fuck Wes Streeting.

Plato also said people in power should lie to their citizens and tell them they have God-given metal in their blood determining their social class so people would not revolt against the "intellectuals" being in charge... or something idk...

The duality of my mind wanting a break from caffeine whilst consuming two monsters a day

Should have sent this out instead of the emergency alarm on our phones. Thought there was gonna be a nuclear attack not a storm

Sound on 🐈‍⬛🤍

She is the moment

Word limits on my philosophy assignments are devastating. I was born to yap LET ME YAP

Every moral philosophy thought experiment ever

God I love getting a new social media app- sorry I can't go out tonight I need to train the algorithm of this app so it knows I'm a queer nerd who loves philosophy and cats
