Now that it’s all official: delighted that I will be studying the Philosophy PGCert from October at @cam.ac.uk! #philsky

Please tell me there are some other MA students out there currently experiencing dissertation-related existential crises! #postgrad #academicsky

Had a great day at the @uomlaw.bsky.social celebration of Margot Brazier event, which was excellent. 10/10.

The M56, in my faithful little car without air con, was less excellent. 1/10.

That is… disturbing!

MPs back assisted dying bill in historic Commons vote The bill would allow terminally ill adults in England and Wales to end their own lives.

… but I think that the narrow margin it passed by is probably a reflection of how poor a Bill it is. It might be interesting to see what the Lords say next. And it will certainly keep the ethicists busy! 2/2

I don’t necessarily object to #assisteddying as a concept, per se, provided that the legislation around it is sufficiently robust. This legislation is not. It’s a poorly drafted Bill, and the RCPsych has concerns about it in its current form. So, I am a little surprised by today’s outcome… 1/2

Definitely acceptable - shows consistency in your work, and that you stand by your past arguments (probably!) 🤣

MA: 2/3 complete!

Just the dissertation to go…

Really not sure how I feel about all that this evening! But it was nice to see [redacted]!

Thank you! It’s very early days with it at the moment, but I’ll happily tell you more when it’s better developed!

The current dissertation book pile! #ethics #philosophy #philsky

I rather like this!

Philosophers: what are your favourite works on philosophy of mind? I’m seeking recommendations on what I should read! #philsky

Indeed! AI should keep to its proper purpose, namely creating pictures of Pokémon as Jedi, and nothing else!

I honestly don’t see the point of studying if all you are going to do is get ChatGPT to write everything for you. On top of which, I am arrogant enough to be sure I can do a much better job myself, without any AI!

Four in 10 universities face financial challenges A drop in international student numbers has driven the worsening financial position, a report says.

Well, this is just grim.

I was the only person who turned up for my #bioethics seminar today (well, and the tutor), so I got my own personal tutorial about cloning and GMO. I had great fun! (But, honestly, the youth of today… *rolls eyes*) #postgrad

The fact that my niece is getting into #DoctorWho, and this therefore makes me a cool auntie, is possibly the most exciting thing ever. I am hoping this will mean I have a comic con buddy for life!

Following #DoctorWho, what I really want to know is whether anyone out there actually own a Meep t-shirt…

Are we sure about that? Croissants might be worse for the waistline, but rarely cause existential angst and headaches!

Thanks all for your help!

An appeal to the world of #AcademicSky, #PhDSky, #PhilSky, and, indeed, anyone else: please send me your tips for writing a good abstract, other than just copy-and-pasting my conclusion at the top!

Agreed! It is amazing!

The sun can be a bit of a rarity in Manchester, but look how pretty it is when it does appear! @uniofmanchester.bsky.social

Baking for humans is not generally my forte… but I make a pretty good bunny birthday cake!

Who needs Oxbridge when you have #Manchester?! @uniofmanchester.bsky.social

Murder is bad, of course, but ‘absolute spanner’ is the most brilliant description!

Well, where would Vetinari be without his loyal terrier?!

Today at uni, I have had far too much fun being contrary and disagreeing with everyone! I do love a good argument! #bioethics
