Just got asked how much of my Christmas shopping I've done so far, and the answer is zilch. So, #philsky, let's help each other out: top recommendations for philosophy books that would make great gifts for non-philosophers? (self-promo included!)

An MA student told me today I was the best political philosophy professor they'd ever had. Pretty sure I am the only political philosophy prof they've ever had, but a win's a win, right?

Thanks to social media like 🟦☁️, the past is never more than a few clicks away. Does this infringe on a right to have such socially-available information about us fade over time? @hcarnegy.bsky.social is at The Memory Palace today, discussing 'right to be forgotten' legislation. Take a look!
We usually want to leave our mistakes in the past. Does that mean that they need to be forgotten? In today's post, Hannah Carnegy-Arbuthnott (@hcarnegy.bsky.social) this exciting question about the right to be forgotten and accountability.

In the latest instalment of 'how low society sets the bar for fathers', my husband just got praised for being hands on. What was he doing at the time? Holding the baby. Literally just having hands on his child.

All the guidelines on the various ailments one is prone to after childbirth prescribe rest. I hope someone, somewhere, is getting a kick out of this top level trolling

'What's the point of starting mat leave before the due date?' I blithely thought as I filled in the HR forms, 'seems a terribly inefficient use of time'. Well, my body is giving me a resounding answer to that question now: Rest. Rest would have been the point, you doofus.
