Dr. Tender Lettuce

working a part-time research contract since finishing my PhD has been awesome for my hobbies! so much time for random activities! and recovering from burnout!

I also saw these guys the other day on the trail (from a safe distance, don't worry)

not on here much but just wanted to say that I got a bird watching monocular and have been enjoying going on long winter walks

as examples: puzzling, cooking, gaming, writing, drawing, and painting ALL aggravate the injury 😓

having an elbow injury is making me realize how 90% of my hobbies include my hands/arms 😐

my mom: I MADE THIS FOR U BY HAND
my brother: u look like a jawa

who wore it better?

good morning, I made a big jar of kimchi!!!!!!

having a fireplace in our new house has truly been amazing for cozy morning writing as it gets colder outside 📈⬆️

working a part-time contract and being on the job market right now is REALLY giving me the time to be cooking up a storm

no one asked but this weekend I made veggie broth, cashew milk, beet falafel, breakfast sandwich tofu slices, banana chocolate chip muffins, and chickpea cookie dough 🤠

experienced the weird but perfect combo of fall and winter this weekend

ft. ducks in a row!

my morning ride today 🚴‍♀️🍂✨

need u guys to see how cozy the house is on this lovely sunday morning 🥹

PLEASE NO

I am reading two books currently: the three-body problem (as an audiobook) and vineland (physical copy)

how it feels to be on the philosophy job market

I was thinking "it's because of my sweater vest"

thinking deeply about the time I went out for drinks after a conference and the bartender asked "were you at a conference today" and I replied "yes, wow, how did you know" and he said "😐 you're still wearing your name tag 😐"

happy (canadian) thanksgiving 🥧🍂

Journal: Ethics & International Affairs, Cambridge University Press Title: Detained Migrant Children, Autonomy, and Positive Duties Author: Tyra Lennie Abstract: Despite a heavy philosophical focus on issues pertaining to immigration, little discussion is taken up that examines the duties we owe to migrant children. This article works to bridge the gap between global justice literature and work on children’s autonomy and well-being. To capture what migrant children experience in the context of immigration and detention, the article examines the conditions on the island country of Nauru, where at least 222 migrant children experienced detention between the years of 2013 and 2019. Using this lived experience as an example, the article argues that we owe children specific positive duties, which are further supported by the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Throughout this article, the aim is to indicate how migrant children occupy a particularly vulnerable and nonautonomous status in the context of detention. Because of this, children are owed especially weighty positive duties that are not discussed in the current global justice literature.

New pub from me today at Ethics & International Affairs (PhilPapers link: philpapers.org/rec/LENDMC + EIA link: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...)

a bonus of becoming a doctor is that people sometimes give you nice flowers

the answer for me is almost always dumb reality tv along with something like colouring, crafting, or puzzling at the same time

seriously wondering how long it will take for me to fully feel like my PhD is over (still in a state of slight disbelief)

on the bright side tho, I just looked and some random man who doesn't even follow me started arguing back and the initial dude deleted ALL of his screenshots and grok prompts about how I am going to have to be a barista now that my degree is wrapped up

I love to be a Woman in Academia

it also feels real because my "I defended" post on twitter has men trying to dampen the occasion (by way of asking grok for unemployment stats on philosophy graduates) in the replies

just submitted my thesis with final edits to the university portal, starting to feel real now 😯
