I am just shocked he thought it was a good idea to say it out loud.
I’m looking forward to “replying” to Kian on April 1st 🙃
Have you considered just consulting your own intuitions?
'The Working Woman.' (1905) Helene Schjerfbeck is one of many women artists who keep getting rediscovered over and over again. Every decade or so, a curator shines a brief spotlight on Schjerfbeck, before she slips out of sight again.
I now need to amend my will so it includes the words “Goethe’s theory of colours.”
I think that if everybody took time to look at how animals are turned into their food, they'd never touch a bit of meat again. It's so gruesome and horrifying and unbelievable that it's so commonplace

Epistemic screaming 😱
I hope @aidanmcglynn.bsky.social knows about this one.
As it were, as it were.
Martha Nussbaum on lunch at Iris Murdoch’s house: “I felt that her very intense gaze went, as it were, straight through me, to something that was not me at all, but to which I was somehow related…She fixed me with her eyes and went on, eating pate absent-mindedly with her fingers…” 👀 #philsky
