That's the same picture nikki

A gold flyer announcing that the new issue of Hypatia is now available. The flyer has a detail from the front cover of the journal running along its centre, depicting various abstract women's faces and hair in different shades of blue.

New issue of Hypatia, 40.3, is now published: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Small mercies.

Tbh it strikes me that the most likely outcome would have just been that all the 'how the light gets in' posters would have a little 'supported by the RIP' logo at the bottom.

Cut to Spinoza, sweating, tugging at his shirt collar - "Not me though Gil ol buddy? Right? Right?"

Moral offsetting

A tweet from David East that reads: "starting to think that the rest of the world was actually fine in Children of Men and Britain just chose to be like that"

I am once again contemplating this banger.

Social! Ontology! It's ontology, but social!

The fact that the one game made by an explicitly communist co-op game studio now has three successor studios making a self-proclaimed sequel to it, and dispute the legitimacy of the other two is, of course, the most communist outcome possible.

R&R telling me I should be more sympathetic to Cull and their work. I’m trying, okay??

Come work with Kenneth and I! The required specialisation is actually super broad: if you want to do interesting and fun work on the nature of corporations please apply. Bonus points if you can do empirical work: we’ll stand by in awe and clap every time you use a number philjobs.org/job/show/291...

I wrote a really short piece for Hypatia about being an abolitionist and a survivor and why philosophers are such jerks (Literally I started writing this after giving a talk about the book I wrote with Barrett Emerick since Q&A made me feel like utter shit) doi.org/10.1017/hyp....

The ECB is struggling to get women to play cricket at all, so great to hear that they've banned a subset of them from taking part 🙄

Alex Byrne giving a talk on "gender trouble" with his presentation showing a "destroy the gender binary" t-shirt

Sally Haslanger in the audience looking furious at Alex Byrne's talk. The caption says "Sally tells Alex he needs to get out more"

this pair of conference photos from David Chalmers' website says it all

A friend who is a trans woman and who plays women’s football received an email from the FA about the decision which contains this paragraph.

Free therapy to cope with the fact you’ve been transphobic bigots, fucking brilliant.

Yes, even if you are interviewing them about something unrelated! Funnily enough they still care that you treat them with cruelty!

A small tip, a small *hint* for any journalist who has an interview request for a member of a marginalised group: make sure you don’t have a bunch of dehumanising tweets about that group on your twitter feed.

The story of them rushing across the country to find each other as Hume got close to dying is genuinely so sweet!

I made it a good 1000 pages into Knausgaard's big new series, but I think I am finally done with it. I kept thinking it might be more than facile readings of """big ideas""" if I kept going but that is *how he gets you*

Found a Fanon quotation in a recently released book which appears to have been copied from Quotable Quotes at *Goodreads dot com*. Going back to the original one finds the relevant text split across several pages, and changed on several rather important issues of interpretation. Incredible work!

Free resources: Perinatal care for trans people On 8 February 2021, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust published a series of groundbreaking resources on perinatal care for trans people, written by their Gender Inclusion Midwife t…

New post for TDOV! I've uploaded copies of all the resources on trans-inclusive perinatal care published for the NHS in 2021 by the Brighton & Sussex Gender Inclusion Midwives. Plus, some newer resources and information. It's important that we continue to share and build on this important work.
