Tea, aviation, and public health obsessed constitutional and civil lawyer with libertarian values and Caribbean flair. Passionate about economic development. Will sit on the floor in my Sunday best to pet random dogs.
Reflecting on people who try to co-opt my libertarianism for their discrimination.
Nationalism is anti-human. Governments entrench inequality by giving unearned benefits to wealthy, well-connected cronies.
I'll never not want to dismantle classism. I'm a first-gen uni attendee and graduate ffs...

I hope Charlie Kirk's loved ones can find peace & comfort in their grief. It is awful to die young, to be killed, & especially to be killed for speaking/believing things.
Even if you disagree in substance with him, as I do, there is a baseline level of civilised behaviour that should be maintained.

If you are applying to a PhD, don't use an LLM in composing your proposal.
If you are doing a PhD, don't use an LLM to do the writing and reading and thinking for you.
Sorry, I am going to die on this hill.

Hey guys, I'm interested to know what your assessment is of the #Ukraine situation.
What's the background? Whose are the vested interests and what are they?
There's so much noise around everything these days, I wanted to see what the awesome Bluesky hive mind thinks ✊️

Being honourable in debate is a diminishing concept, it seems. People are quick to call others names so they can dismiss what are sometimes very valid points.
It happens with the people who say everyone is an "ist" and with their opponents who call everyone else "woke."
