Our final Jacobite Studies Trust Virtual Workshop of the Spring 2025 term is upon us this Tues, 6 May, wherein we'll be featuring a round-table with a gaggle of scholars sharing archival gems of particular interest in #JacobiteStudies. It's next-level show-and-tell!

Always getting those lists of Most Cited Philosophers or Works Featuring in the SEP Most Often or whatever and when you look there's never nothing by any women or POC. Well, finally, thanks to President Trump, a list of philosophical works has come out which heavily features women and black people!

PSA that we can support both our independent bookshop AND public library ❤️

They play such a vital role in our local communities, and they both need our support to stay open and keep offering valuable resources.

It's not either/or, but both/and 🥰

I just wrote to all of my congressional representatives to plead them to support the NEH, for everyone, for public history, for scholarship, for teaching, for all of it. I used this widget: very easy, it has a template, and automatically looks up the emails of your representatives. p2a.co/DdtlGIT

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Those cosying up to Trump have obviously read David Hume on induction. "I know he's fired and humiliated all his advisors in the past, but it doesn't logically follow that he'll fire and humiliate all his advisors in the future."
