“Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of the universe. . . There was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. . . After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

After multiple rejection letters and stress girlfriend got into a master program in Ontario!!! 🥰 She’s so gifted and I’m so happy and proud!!

“I write with dismay, grief and sorrow for the permanent closure of MIT Libraries Barker, Dewey and Rotch, and termination of library staff in those libraries. For MIT to be closing three of its four major libraries..." fnl.mit.edu/may-june-202...

One of the last of the pantheon of true giants has left us. A great originator. You do not learn jazz without learning Sonny Rollins. We’re lucky that we had him for so long, but the loss feels tremendous.

Just got my account back; it was somehow hacked. Never happened before...

Cleaning my room and packing stuff up for moving. Found my two favourite albums of all time, still haven’t bought that new vinyl player I wanted 😂

I'm not against technology in the classroom. Education was improved by both the printing press and the chalkboard.

May 5th! Søren Kierkegaard’s Birthday! 🥳

Any tips on finding student housing in Toronto. Navigating online is a pain :/

Still looking for this.

Thesis should be “complete” today… Finally… Although it never feels “complete.” Quoting my supervisor, “a good thesis is a finished thesis.” Excited for my summer reading list to begin… Starting with finishing up, “Demons” by Dostoevsky. After that, some Kant.

Love me some good manga panels

Sometimes I forget I’m Italian. Then, I’m reminded by my mother when she invites me to a 4 course meal at our local Italian club. Best. Food. Ever. Really good day today 😄

Anguish. Close to my name?

I am extremely proud to tell you that one of my excellent students, @kylefoster.bsky.social, has a review of Fred Beiser's EARLY GERMAN POSITIVISM in the current issue of @hoposjournal.bsky.social! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1...

Does anyone in the Kierkegaard/Danish world know where I can find a copy of Peter Tudvad’s “Kierkegaard’s København” (in Danish)? This has been incredibly hard to find. #Kierkegaard #booksky #philsky #philosophy #Danish

God it's fucking awful, isn't it? Reading Something Like That and feeling so utterly helpless to do anything about it. How the fuck are you supposed to get through the day?

Love this so much #booksky

Pet your dogs, everyone, and appreciate that they have no idea what is happening in this fucked up world.

These photos just reinforce the fact that there is no "Plan B." Earth is all we have so we had better treat her with care.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

How is this guy allowed to still be in office? How can people genuinely support someone who makes a statement like this? I am so lost... Maybe Plato was right. We needed philosopher kings...

Girlfriend went up to Montréal to celebrate her graduation and see her favourite artist Lady Gaga perform… She cancelled 2 hours before the show. I feel so horrible for her :/

Det er visst funny tweet-tid. Her er noen jeg har lagret.

Someone sent me this.

Officially accepted an offer for grad school! I’ll be heading to Toronto in the fall to begin my MA! Very excited! 🤩 The next step will be a PhD!

Happy with the ending of JJK2. Sad it’s ended so soon though :/

Trump Writes Netanyahu Strongly Worded Check

Always a wonderful morning reading an anti-Hegel paper. 🥰

My good friend Sam and I had a fun experience this weekend participating in our first debate tournament ever (Atlantic’s 2026). Suffice to say it went quite well!

The Darwin Incident is actually really good. I was concerned it would be a weird, obscure anime, but its messaging on animal rights and the perspective of non-human animals is very well done. I’ll keep watching the series and see if it remains decent. 100%recommend it to my anime friends, and vegans

[The hopeful individual] might not be thought possible or might be regarded as sheer madness; but that is not so, because [they] certainly [do] not hope for something that does not have reality for [them], but [they] hope for something that [they] know cannot be realized. Either/or, 1 -Kierkegaard

I like Kant

God almighty. In ten years’ time there will genres of movies, memoirs and novels devoted to the gross cruelty of the Trump Regime, akin to those we now have of Germany in the 1930s. Intensely hoping it stops before we get to the 1940s.

2600$ later at the vet just to be told that he has 3-12 months to live. Love that. 🫩

he’s literally rotting

To strive for knowledge is to strive for an accurate description of reality.

Finished expedition 33 10/10 game

Two options for how the Nova Scotia gov't could make PSE help the housing crisis: 1. Make all building trades programs tuition-free. 2. Make every academic dep't in the province write a report explaining how its curriculum prepared students for the building trades. Guess which one we're doing?

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

youtu.be/wB3y4a6h4dc?... Big fan of this squid. Just wish he showed up more than once a year.

Got a wonderful gift from my parents for my birthday! Kirmmse’s introduction is quite good! 😊
