Easing back into working and it feels good. Vacation with young kids can be more work than work. Lovely in all kinds of ways, but it's been a couple of weeks since doing some actual philosophical work.

I don't know if you can hear my 4yo screaming but she doesn't want the nuggets and spaghettios I made for her dinner. She wants Thai food (honestly don't blame her) and been crying her eyes out about it. She's like why do you get to decide what I eat? I see her point to be fair.

Started jazz guitar lessons a couple of months ago & the hardest part is finding the time to practice. Also, remembering all those wild chords, swinging things, the theory, fingering the right frets in time, remembering scales, not hitting the wrong string. All good besides that.

Sometimes you have to clean up to find the thing you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure once you find it you can stop cleaning. Luckily, in my case, I found the papers I needed after 45 minutes, so I get to stop cleaning now!

My messy office, half cleaned, with lots of books and boxes.

Back home from this workshop about publishing a trade book. Super cool people working on exciting projects. Learned so much, it's wild. Trade is a beast! I think the world needs a Fichte bio, trade can work for this, that was confirmed. Just how to do it - that's the question.

"Marx’s lifelong study of the American contest over slavery provided an essential fourth pillar of his intellectual biography."

Excited about this review by Kelly Swope I edited for Marginalia. He looks at two books: Matthew Stewart's An Emancipation of the Mind and @andrewhartman.bsky.social Marx in America - using Du Bouis's bio of John Brown as a way in. Brilliant writing. www.marginaliareviewofbooks.com/post/the-ger...

"The book’s second major claim is that Karl Marx has appealed to Americans across three centuries because his philosophy of freedom speaks to fundamental human needs about which the U.S. Constitution is silent..."

Did you hear that the Texas A&M library burned down? It's ok, a brave administrator was able to recover all three books. Thankfully, the two coloring books were in pristine condition; the other was Plato's "Symposium" - so he just threw it back into the flames.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)
