Baudrillard could never.

“The Taylor Swift engagement is MAGA” is 2nd grade reading level. With a gender and women’s studies degree, I can write up the T-Swift engagement is cyborg manifesto + mestiza consciousness + it’s actually gay essay in my sleep

Only this administration could turn (my) MSNBC parents into south park superfans

Saying shit like “I’m a merging wizard, I’m the wizard of merging” out loud to Noam while four lanes disappear on the drive to jfk

POV you are trying to watch a show

How different must an article be to submit to the same journal, if ever? For example, if < 50% of the prose overlaps with a previous submission is it inappropriate to submit again? Is the threshold more strict, < 25% overlap? Must the core argument change or just the framing? I’m collecting opinions

For academics, New Year’s resolutions and spring cleaning happens in August

Your Daily Nous pseudonym is the name of your first crush + your birth month 1 – screws 7 – rides 2 – shags 8 – bumps 3 – fucks 9 – knows biblically 4 – lays 10 – does 5 – gets some 11 – bangs 6 – rails 12 – bonks

I am the player

Any philosophers who follow me: I would love it if you could ask them to open a discussion thread on my subtweet. Among other things, I am curious to see how many requests they are prepared to ignore.

Academic philosophy hosts a lot of highschool losers who think they are entitled to everyone’s attention because they can put premises in front of a conclusion Thankfully if you were a theatre loser like me you got the “entitled to attention for putting on a poor show” out your system early

Marie Antoinette could never

could one of you encourage me to head to a cafe and do a little writing instead of falling asleep on the couch right now? pls

Zohran Mamdani’s win has inspired over 3400 young people to raise their hands to run for office just since Tuesday. It’s now @runforsomething.net’s biggest candidate recruitment moment since the election. A new generation of leaders is here.

guys don’t tell @lastpositivist.bsky.social I said this but he’s really fun to talk to and good at philosophy also

that’s cool but I actually know about a horse someone was willing to trade an entire kingdom for

I am devastated to learn of my dear friend and fellow philosopher Helen De Cruz’s passing. With Helen's blessing, her husband Johan and I agreed to circulate a GoFundMe on their children’s behalf. Please feel free to share and circulate widely. www.gofundme.com/f/support-he...

Just a small encounter with an enormous fucked up situation, but: I am unable to book catering in LA for an event I’m organizing because the majority of employees are worried about getting unlawfully detained if they go to work

“Saucy racially ambiguous” - @emhrnndz.bsky.social

Very useful sorting mechanism in SF dive bars between the tech bros who believe me when I say I’m a professor and the tech bros who guffaw like I’m being a cheeky clever little girl when I say it lol

I’m not gonna complain if I have to gate check my carry-on because there is no bin space. But if you make me gate check under that pretense, and after everyone is boarded there are still two fully empty bins across from me and an empty bin above me, I will complain!! Looking at you DELTA

The problem with the Coca-Cola campaign putting names on the cans is that it feels norm violating to take Paige or Hannah’s crispy Diet Coke. That one’s not mine

Just had the perfect flight: boarded, napped for exactly one podcast episode, woke up and got off the plane

Yesterday I ordered an iced matcha latte and the barista immediately input ‘oat milk’ without asking lmfao

if it was still quarantine i would have done all of them, but you get the idea

Google search is such dogshit I would do a lot to get access to a genuine alternative

I just love my citation management software. For me, it’s in the same category as wifi, plumbing, and electricity. Most of the royalty throughout the history of the world could not have even imagined the luxuries I enjoy

Maybe I’m an old codger for this, but I think that moment of existential anxiety provoked by a completely blank page that you need to fill with words that you choose with your own brain and the horribly infinite number of combinations you could go with so where do you even start, builds character

My most common gentle admonishment is “Lola, be polite”

Congratulations @katiehonan.bsky.social on writing the best piece of predictive science fiction of all time

jr-ranger.org/2025/milo-baa6 My friend’s kid is in a Junior Ranger drawing and it would be wonderful if you could take a minute and throw a vote his way :)

Honestly didn’t realize that our “Mother’s Day Family Zoom” was gonna be less about celebrating my amazing mom and more about celebrating my family’s idea of me getting pregnant as soon as possible

The norm at my institution is to learn all your students names (roughly 75+ per semester) which has really forced me to confront my deep soul-aching fear of getting someone’s name wrong, moreover you’re saying it to their face in front of a full audience 😭

(Brag, but) apparently I have such *understands science* vibes in my Ethics of Science & Technology class that a student asked me a question about his biochemistry reading from a diff course Couldn’t answer his question, but could confirm that there was def a lot of science going on in that article

Happy birthday to me :) the tattoo I just got (my first) isn’t in the photo because that’s none of your business hehe

I just know they’re getting the hemlock brewing - my pedagogy is too powerful

Cutie brigade coming through!!!! :))))

Who knew a philosophy conference would be the place to touch grass

Very friendly stranger sitting next to me at my boarding gate clapped when he saw me finish a stack of grading (“didn’t think you could do it before boarding starts!”) 😭 very chatty community vibes over here

brb gonna go get tenure off my new book idea: The Tragedy of the Commonsense

I conquered the scary intersection from the car accident in Feb!!! Being able to drive through that intersection means my yoga studio and gym are back on the table ☺️🙏🏼🥳

It is extraordinary that “you are disinvited from giving a talk in our big fancy auditorium” is a bigger threat to free speech than “we will unlawfully detain you and send you to an undisclosed facility for holding a sign we don’t like” or “you will be removed from our country for posting memes”

finishing grading fills me with such boundless good will toward everyone and everything, it’s remarkable

And this historic assault on labor is nowhere to be found on *any* of the major newspapers' front pages today.

Wow finally got into D&D podcasts and I’m obsessed. This rules lol
