  1. Had an absolute blast volunteering for the first time with CAMRA at the GBBF and at my first beer festival, really inclusive community sound people also got to have a nerdy ramble about language limits consciousness & beer tasting taking pub philosophy quite literally 😂

  2. Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

  3. working on a scepticism 'beat the demon' type interactive fiction game using twine to try and make the theoretical content of the 'limits of knowledge' section of the a-level a little less intimidating and fun lemme tell you it's gonna take me weeks but it'll be so worth it

  5. so pumped, my summer philosophy fic reads have arrived! I've wanted to read wollstonecraft for a couple years ever since I read about her in 'philosophy queens' and immediately projected on a personal level- my uncle rec'd 'the black prince' to me recently also & I've never read murdoch so yay!

    me holding a copy of 'mary, a fiction' by mary wollstonecraft, with a 'double 9 books' logo next to author name (cover shows painting style, back of a woman with long red hair, a white shirt tinted red in the light and a red skirt with houses in the background and a red/purple/blue cloudy evening sky) and beneath it a copy of 'the black prince' by iris murdoch. beneath the title it reads 'introduced by sophie hannah'. Along the binding on the left, there is a red strip which at the top reads 'vintage classics'.

  6. when I search for documentaries on consciousness for every one that is an actual theory of mind discussion there are a good five that are just about tripping balls on psychedelics

  9. semantic externalism- aside from beint a scepticism solution it a) changed the way I looked at language + helped me verbalise my icks with how it's used, b) helped me understand hermeneutical resources quickly and c) weirdly catalyzed my discovery of 4E cognition. putnam is an absolute babe.
