Relatable. As someone who lives with a great dane, I can confirm she does all the heavy lifting in terms of emotional labour in our household.

People don’t just love their dogs. Many owners seem to love pets more than people. It’s a symptom of wider social problems, a philosopher argues, one that’s hurting people and pets alike. buff.ly/16byy4s

People don’t just love their dogs; Many owners seem to love pets more than people. It’s a symptom of wider social problems, a philosopher argues – one that’s hurting people and pets alike.

Genuine question to publishers and book folk: how closely related is back matter to black ⚫️ or dark matter?

Indexes and references pull things together, right? Takes up a substantial amount of the book, inexplicably draws people toward it. Consumes authors who spend too long in it's presence...

These dark November months are not kind to energy levels and mounting deadlines, but even the smallest gestures provide help. Clinging to words of encouragement from my academic heroes like a lifebuoy.

Tea and saffron buns and sci fi/fantasy also help, of course.

Thanks for persisting with the research @yvonnetsecrepaldi.bsky.social and I recognise the long fermentation period. Some papers just need a bit more time to get themselves where they need to be.

The data originates from my PhD. So from ideation to data collection, and publication it took…13 years! I will be faster next time 🤞
