Isobel to me over coffee: "you're kind of basic, but in a hot way"

my spring music plan is to listen to every Nina Simone album

Jon Pike's Suit of Leaves The Forest: Planting an Anti-Trans Network

Anglo-world philosophers seem to have perfected the ways in which one can conduct anti-trans activism while denying that there is anything anti-trans about it. Jon Pike's recent complaint against one of his colleagues is one case in point. New blog post from me.
