This is me, tears streaming down my face, contemplating the beautiful and terrible mystery of the death and resurrection of the God-man.

I [22f] got the ick for my husband [24m] when our village was raided and he let himself be taken as a slave rather than killing himself honorably. I'm glad he's still alive and there's a chance we could be reunited one day but I just can't see him the same after that :/ Advice?

Global data on suicide rates is lacking, especially from poorer countries.

I wrote a brief data insight about this for Our World in Data.

Did he actually hate Shakespeare? The only genius I can think of who even half-heartedly pretended he didn't like Shakespeare was Milton, and that old puritan's complaint was basically that Shakespeare was too good, too slutty, and too good at being slutty.

Initially there's a strong incentive to follow people in your field as a means of getting work and possibly currying favour and thus gaining access to resources. Once enough philosophers had followed me there's just a kinda cumulative advantage network effect.

Wonderful lecture by Michela Massimi Michela Massimi for the super well-deserved at LSE Philosophy. Perspectival realism is a powerful philosophical tool, extending beyond epistemology and allowing us to see how wonderfully human and diverse scientific research is! 💫

Yes, their constant media prominence isn’t intended to benefit them personally and their organic support from the public is all but non-existent.

Every time I read about assisted suicide in Canada, I'm more shocked. This is one issue I definitely got wrong (and disability rights activists were right about). jacobin.com/2024/05/canada…

I never posted about this - my paper 'Silencing Conversational Silences' is now published in Hypatia. I argue that silences can be active conversational contributions, but as such impacted by power structures and injustices, and silenced. cambridge.org/core/journals/…
