Which one of you put a searchable pdf of How to Do Things with Words on the internet? I just want to give you a little hug.

new poem, The Roar

Set myself a rule. No x until I send off this paper. But here's the thing: I know the guy who made that rule, and she's kind of a pushover.

Writing a paper whose middle section is spawning its own thing. My paper is pregnant.

This plan is for acts of unspeakable harm. The article also says the expected increase comes after the admin declined to renew a contract with the org that represented immigrant children in court. They gave one instead to an org whose CEO had to resign for reasons you would not (would) believe.

The Trump regime is looking for immigrant detention camps big enough to hold up to 3,000 children. At an industry roundtable discussion, officials wouldn't say exactly where or when they need them, only that they’re expecting a “surge.” New from me in @prospect.org.

I'm curious if anyone knows how peer review tends to work for special issues of journals with open CFPs. Are reviewers asked to read multiple submissions to rate or compare them? Or does it work more like normal peer review? #philsky

man, I love to proceed as follows

I love each of my stupid thoughts equally, but some I love more equally than others.

You don't understand scale. (15 marigold blossoms --> 1,000 seeds)

My to do list for this draft is 2,000 words long. Chat, is this good?

Check in on the neurodivergent academics in your life. See if your texting app allows entries upwards of 3 digits in the "to" field. Don't forget frequent pauses for hand rest and stretching. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

From her piece in UnHerd:

Yes! I wrote about this (relinquishing the benefit of the doubt) in section 3 of "Brazen Dogwhistles." We don't need to place our thumb on the scale of charity when we interpret possibly-racist speech. We don't need to do PR for racists in our heads. philpapers.org/rec/WEIBDV

A fun bit, if someone's struggling to open something and asks you to open it for them, is to struggle to open it and then say "hey can you open this for me?"

Good day to be wearing my "trust the process" writing shirt. (This is a test print.)

Read the Daily Nous article about PPA publishing a largely Claude-generated paper, and I cannot get over these last two paragraphs. ""The tool I'm voluntarily giving over my work to is going to destroy my profession and way of life."" Maybe don't help it do that then??

seeing a lot of self-h*rm on this site today (reading DN comments section) and I want you all to know that help is available (I close your browser tab and spray you with the spray bottle)

Who the hell is Claude? I just want to put the shell of an idea up to my ear and find out what it says.

Cheers to everyone writing their own papers today. ☕

"no one will be normal about AOC if she runs for president" is both true and a bad reason for her not to run. you could run the most milquetoast middle of the road clean cut straight white man alive and the right is still going to act like the deranged freaks they are
