Ah yes, what you should do at an academic conference is…grapple a fellow philosopher in a sand volleyball court? Anyway, I had a blast at the AAPT @theaapt.bsky.social conference talking about pedagogy with some of the best and kindest people in the profession 🤓 🤼‍♀️🧠

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? 🥳😎

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. 🏃🏻‍♀️ 💜

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)

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/...
