Social media doesn't just feed you bad information. It trains you in how to treat information: who to trust, how much evidence is enough, what counts as a good explanation. And it trains you for a world that doesn't exist. New @PPR (yay!) and free here: philpapers.org/rec/FLOBMS

Why do people with ME claim to know more about the medical aspects of their disease than their doctors? Because the mechanisms that usually ensure doctors' knowledge fail in the case of ME, and sick people have created mechanisms of knowledge production and dissemination to pick up the slack.

'Venetian Reflections.' In 1879 Whistler travelled to Venice, a move which instigated a period of great artistic productivity with an increasingly minimalist approach, more abstract and dependent on a minimum of lines.

In this work from 1912, Édouard Vuillard depicts his mother reading the morning newspaper, at one with her surroundings, it constitutes a demonstration of Stéphane Mallarmé's notion that 'one must express the effect something produces rather than the thing itself.'

At Vétheuil, Monet lost his wife Camille and nearly lost his home. Yet from grief and financial ruin came beauty—soft river light, frozen winters, fragile hope.

Reminder for October: Fulden Ibrahimhakkioglu and I are co-editing a special issue of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly on Feminist Accountability and Transformative Justice! Essays of up to 9k words due Jan. 4 2027 for peer review. Details here: philevents.org/event/show/1...

Details

We are irrevocably implicated in the systems of oppression we seek to dismantle, and the effects of those systems live with us and within us. Accountability—understood as taking responsibility for our contributions to and complicity in systemic harms—offers a framework for practicing feminist solidarity, building community, and supporting both individual and collective healing. This special issue explores feminist accountability as a practice that moves beyond punishment and retribution toward transformative justice as an ethical and political project. We are especially interested in work that engages the tensions, limits, and possibilities of accountability: not only as an ethical ideal, but as a lived, contested, and situated practice across interpersonal, institutional, and structural contexts. We invite submissions that examine how accountability is practiced today and how it intersects with broader frameworks of transformative justice. What does it mean to take responsibility for harm within feminist communities? How might accountability reshape our understandings of power, complicity, and solidarity? What challenges arise when transformative justice frameworks—often developed in grassroots and activist contexts—are brought into academic spaces? In keeping with Feminist Philosophy Quarterly’s commitment to inclusive, intersectional, and community-engaged feminist philosophy, we especially encourage submissions that engage and build upon the work of scholars from historically marginalized communities and those most affected by the forms of harm under discussion. Submissions may address, but are not limited to:

-Feminist accountability as a practice: its limits, tensions, and conditions of possibility
-Accountability beyond carceral logics: abolitionist and transformative approaches to harm
-Transformative justice as ethical and political praxis
-Responsibility, complicity, and refusal in conditions of structural injustice
-Practices of repair, restitution, and non-reconciliation
-Community-based responses to harm: care, conflict, and collective healing
-Navigating accountability in a context of backlash and reaction
-The misuse of accountability practices and procedures
-Accountability within feminist movements: power, exclusion, and internal critique
-Pedagogies of accountability: teaching, learning, and institutional responsibility
-The politics of “calling in,” “calling out,” and other modes of response
-Citation as accountability: feminist lineage-building and epistemic responsibility
-Coalition-building and solidarity across asymmetries of power
-Mutual aid, abolition feminism, disability justice, and transformative justice
-Intersections of restorative and transformative justice frameworks
-Feminist responses to interpersonal, gendered, and sexual violence
-Feminist responses to state violence, war, and genocide
-The ethics and politics of care within transformative justice practices

Submission Details:
Deadline: January 4, 2027
Length: Up to 9,000 words (including notes, excluding references)

Painted in 1887, 'A Flower Meadow at Veierland,' is one of Edvard Munch's final paintings before his style was influenced by Hans Jæger, an anarchist and bohemian in Kristiania who convinced him artists should take a new approach in their work and have relevance in peoples' lives

Our focus is mostly elsewhere during the restaurant scene, which can lure you into the sense that this is all playing out in front of Arthur with the latter comprehending almost none of what is said, but if you watch Arthur's face it's less obvious he's zoned out or completely oblivious.

A detail which I think can get missed - I don't think the film ever gives us a definitive idea of how much Korean Arthur has mastered by the time of the final evening (Nora claims it's awful, Jung claims to be impressed but that might just be politeness). So we don't know how much he understands.

'Kensington Interior,' (1912) depicts the hallway of 67 Ladbroke Grove, London, W.11, the house which belonged to Frank Emanuel's parents and where he lived from about 1890 until around 1920.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

It's national poetry day! Here is a poem of mine first published by Arlen House in Washing Windows II and then republished by Poetry Ireland / Éigse Éireann 's volume Vital Signs: Poems for Illness and Healing.

Remembrance

In my dream you were alive. I said I

loved you and you heard me. You knew it was

me, not just distance with a human shape.

You tell me I need to stay here, so I

do. I grab the thread of sewn pink petals

hanging tight between us, their wet edges

drip your soft thunder all over the floor,

liquid velvet slips between our fingers,

soaked; we campaign to walk against time. Come

see me, you said, before I forget. You

knew, before we knew, that the dementia

was slithering in, knocking out pieces

of you with its blunt mouth. I’d put you back

together if I could, click each petal

into its stem so that I could say I

love you and you could hear me.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

Every single newspaper that reported that Jane Doe “changed her story” should be rushing to publish retractions right now. This case should be a lesson in taking a DA’s victim-blaming statements at face value. Victims do not report to the police because they thought nothing happened to them.
