This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape.
Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason.
But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇

What can a shallow pond teach us about our moral obligations to strangers?
On the latest @ethicsuntangled.bsky.social episode, David Edmonds joins Jim to explore the story behind Peter Singer’s famous thought experiment — and why it still provokes such fierce debate today.

Found Polanski’s comments on social care ill-judged, but the point he seemed to be trying to make was broadly right.
Social care is work. Hard work. And not everybody has the necessary personal qualities and interpersonal skills to do it.

The Health and Social Care Committee’s evaluation of palliative care in England was published yesterday.
It’s hugely important, not least in the context of the assisted dying bill.
It’s had almost no media coverage.

Power, Status, and the Dementia Care Relationship

Should relational egalitarians always oppose stigma? I argue no.
Where stigma is unwarranted, relational egalitarians should oppose it. But where it is *warranted*, it is at the very least unobjectionable and, in some circumstances, may even be obligatory.

One thing I feel pretty confident I will be teaching writers for years to come is that your process has to be what works for you and not what anyone else is telling you is the way to do it.
Years into my MFA, I FINALLY have my process and it is so against what most people teach.

Whatever genuine fears of insincere actors exploiting accommodations exist, I do not believe the British public will comfortably bear the consequences of punishing all trans people to stop them.
Call me a sentimental liberal, but I believe the cruelty of the new position ensures it will not hold.
