I’ve enjoyed thinking with (and at times being challenged by) @quillkukla.bsky.social’s work on consent for while, so it was a pleasure to review their new book for @flsjournal.bsky.social: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Hi friends, new publication! We mostly all know by know that making judgments takes social skills. Here I show that NOT making judgments in epistemically appropriate ways also takes social skills! Not knowing stuff can be surprisingly hard, but often important!
Open access 🙂

I am very pleased with this little essay I wrote, "From Accommodation to Access: Decentering Ableism in the Classroom," in *Innovations in Teaching Philosophy*, now in press from Bloomsbury. I hope some of you find it useful in your teaching!

Fans of @helendecruz.net should try to attend this very unusual and lovely online event to honor her life while she is still with us. It's unclear whether she will be able to join but this feels much more meaningful than a memorial to me
Thank you so much!
Here is my open access review in Ethics of Kate Abramson's fascinating and depressing book, On Gaslighting!

The opposite of fascism is absolutely anarchy. I think the term "anarchy" is being used with zero understanding here. Also there is plenty of fascist theater. Incoherent quote.

It’s hybrid.
Do come (academic or not)! :)

Not former potus saying Harvard has set a precedent for other universities and I have to hold myself back from mentioning Wesleyan, Georgetown law, Rutgers faculty senate, etc. What we're not gonna do is erase the Jesuits! Sigh, let me reread Elite Capture.
The dire wolf thing is probably creepy and ominous but honestly I'm just happy that science is being used for purposes of fuzziness
I've now updated the link, and I am much happier. Thanks for the reminder!
Yes thank you for reminding me to change that. At first it was only for sale on Amazon but I don't like that link either. I will change it today.
Thank you!!
Just found out that there will be an audiobook version of my forthcoming book, Sex Beyond "Yes"! Here is a beautiful new promo for the book. And please consider preordering; preorders really affect how the book gets marketed and what exposure it gets!
I am going to give a talk in Kyiv! David Chalmers @davidchalmers.bsky.social is keynoting and the whole lineup is amazing. Very excited!
Massive encroachment by Jeff Bezos into The Washington Post’s opinion section today - makes clear dissenting views will not be published or tolerated there I still have not felt encroachment on my journalism on the news side of coverage, but if Bezos tries interfering with the news side I will be quitting immediately and letting you know
Brave to @jeffstein.bsky.social, WaPo's chief economics correspondent, for not wasting any time in stating what must be stated. Hopefully the first of many.
This is beyond terrifying. I mean everything is of course, but this is in a whole new way. We are going to be cut off from any other realities except their death cult and it is happening fast.
