So so insightful, thank you @katemanne.bsky.social (as per usual). ‘ChatGPT fills and fuels a felt need for the female syncophancy that no human being should want, and that privileged men should be weaned off their historical reliance on.’

Al sinds september heb ik kanker. De ziekte is nu weg, maar om terugkeer te voorkomen of vertragen is een medicijn nodig dat voor mij niet wordt vergoed. Gelukkig zijn mijn vrienden een crowdfunding gestart. Alle donaties zijn welkom en delen helpt ook! www.gofundme.com/f/help-floor...

CfP: Teaching Early Modern Women’s Writing Between Literature and Philosophy

CfP: Teaching Early Modern Women’s Writing Between Literature and Philosophy

OUP tells me I should share this. And publicise my book. So here it goes. Please read my book. It has a pretty cover. It's cheap (for an academic book) and you can have this discount! Also please review it, somewhere fancy if possible!

Finally! After 6 years of researching Staël’s philosophy, finally a visit to her Château in Coppet (with a my little support group🩷). The place of liberal resistance against Napoleon Bonaparte (id est: against autocracy). #châteaucoppet #mmedestaël

Twin-volume alert: Hoping two vols – some 6 lb of solid research – on women #philosopers in the #19thCentury will leave a mark on the field. Thanks to @lydiamoland.bsky.social and Alison Stone for their superb editorship. Challenging a male-dominated canon, one page at a time.    #philsky #books

How histories repeat themselves. Luckily there are glimmers of resistance in many stories of our past, such as in this wonderful tale of Ada Palmer.

Let’s talk about resistance after a conqueror takes power. Specifically let’s talk about this bendy yellow building, and what it shows us about the moment the Florentine Republic finally fell to its kleptocratic/proto-capitalist banking-fortune Medici conquerors 1/?
