What would happen if we paid more attention to how Francis Bacon used biblical themes to build up his scientific and technological project?
I was lucky enough to contribute a chapter to this great collections of essays: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

As an academic, I need to remind myself that I do this all for my kids.
By which I mean that they take my rough drafts and use them as scrap paper for their art...

The most fun I've had combining political theory and punk music since @shalmarr.bsky.social took me to a punk dive bar during @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social last year.
I'll be honest. This week's writing project is the most enjoyable thing I've worked on for quite some time.

"The fear and pity aroused in us while watching a good person come to misery as a result of poor judgement is not the same as dealing with heartbreak by insulting or objectifying women. There is no 1-to-1 correspondence between Aristotle’s ideal tragedy and the typical Offspring or Blink 182 song."

Our family's shared spotify account has become an endless battle between the teenager's pop music and my punk/pop-punk bands. It all comes to a beautiful coalescence when it recommends Avril Lavigne and makes us both happy.
