This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

"Gouged" is OUT! I started this book angry about all the ways corporations are ripping us off. I finished it hopeful, because once you know how they're doing it—you can start to fight back. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this. Now go read it.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Between rape and eliminating woman-dominated majors, that's exactly the plan.

I've had good experiences with Palgrave (2 books)! My last book was just really topical (got interviewed by WSJ and Atlantic, and asked by many others) but hard to promote when it's priced for academia. I tried to get paperback version for a few conventions but they said no. 🤷

This is what I have been screaming. How do we teach our students that this is NOT normal? For them, the absurdity, cruelty, constant POTUS headlines, etc are just how it works. The president never tweeted 100 times a day (or even once a week, most times).

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.

I almost published my last book with Columbia University's trade press but was really married to some theoretical stuff I wrote so I opted with Palgrave. Sorta regret it now, as I think the topic (doomsday prepping in US) was a popular one and would have done awesome if it wasn't $140 to buy.

Religion/Philosophy peeps: Have you (or a friend) published your work as a "trade" book (i.e. rigorous but not so scholarly only 50 people read it)? What presses do you recommend? I want to publish my next book as something that will a) be paperback and affordable, and b) aimed at public.

Yep, even SBC supported a woman's right to choose post Roe, until they realized this was an issue that could be weaponized for votes (seeing how effective it was for the Catholic right). "Life begins at conception" is a relatively new take.

From the article: “The thing we don't hear about enough, in my opinion, is the lives and humanity of pregnant people.” 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 In Judaism, the fetus is regarded as a part of the pregnant person's body until birth. Because whose life matters most is the one already born.

Today would have been my elder stepbrother's 60th bday. He took his life 2 years ago, leaving behind a lot of unanswered questions. Reminder: if you're having a suicidal moment, the most important thing is to "get out of your head" so to speak. Call a friend, 988 hotline, etc. You are never alone.

I’m expecting many readers to opt only for novels written before 2024. Constantly wondering if a particular phrase was AI generated interrupts the enjoyment of reading. Sadly the only way to guarantee against this is to read stuff written before the tech existed www.ft.com/content/f100...

Did AI write this? It’s getting harder to tell
Detection software offers quick answers, but the risk of false positives and the stigma of being accused are leading to societal mistrust in the written word
