Yesterday, I gave a talk at the APA Pacific. Drawing from early twentieth century Mexican Philosophy, I argue for the adoption of clinical ethics principles grounded in liberatory practice.
I’m really excited about this work!

Anyhoo, this will be the last post preceding actual publication at the end of this month. Please order it for your libraries. It's been a long-drawn process but totally worth it.
A preview is available on the site, under the rubric 'major work' in cultural theory.

Helen set the bar in academic philosophy, not just for their ability to philosophize but also for their creativity and kindness. This is an immense loss.
RIP @helendecruz.net
Thanks to @lastpositivist.bsky.social for reminding me that Elizabeth Fraser is one of my top three vocalists. Favorite Cocteau Twins song:

Omg this is everything
A richly detailed Tibetan Buddhist thangka painting depicting the scene of Siddhartha Gautama's enlightenment. The Buddha sits serenely in meditation on a lotus pedestal beneath the Bodhi tree, encircled by an aura. Surrounding him are armies of demonic figures sent by Mara, shown charging with weapons, fierce expressions, and dramatic gestures, yet their attacks dissolve before reaching him. Above, deities and celestial beings emerge from clouds, sending beams of light toward the Buddha, symbolising divine support. The backdrop includes stylised mountains and swirling clouds, enhancing the cosmic and spiritual atmosphere of the moment.
I love this imagery: seeing Buddha meditating under a tree and about to achieve enlightenment Mara's army attacks. But such is the power of peaceful calm around Gautama that as arrows and spears approach they transform into flowers, and fall gently to the ground around Buddha. I reflect on it often.
Hahaha got eeem

Helen, you’ve touched my life in deep and profound ways. I simply don’t know what else to say, other than I am thinking of you and your presence in this world has changed me for the better. Un abrazo fuerte, amiga.
