I’m thinking of breaking up with the ‘prestigious’ philosophy journals.
The paper rejections are endless and extremely wearing and take years, all meaning my work never gets out there.
‘Publish or perish’ has just become this horrid situationship for junior academics.

In Depraved, I take you on a journey through some of the most volatile and contentious works of art ever produced - from prehistoric sculpture to extreme metal music, Renaissance paintings to videogames. I reveal how beautiful art can sometimes be the most insidious…
English
What makes an artwork immoral?
Why do these troubling creations have such a hold on us?
And how should we deal with them?

@HerodotusWave My father's office was there when it was the HQ of Railway Hotels and Catering, in the days when they ran really grand station hotels.

@AliceMaya864 @daisyldixon Grumpy old prof: a bad day , ironically because of publishing issues. Sorry. My grasp of philosophy is minimal, but I'm always happy to offer practical help on the care and management of editors.

i turn 36 today and I woke up to another journal rejection, academia why are you so mean 😪 🎈

@ahistoryinart @torquay_de_mayo @britishmuseum So pleased I bought a large Hermes years ago, 'The yolk'.
English
@torquay_de_mayo @britishmuseum Thanks, James. Hermes is one of those artists who curators rediscover every few years then she's forgotten about until she's rediscovered.

Modern view old medium. Another gem from @ahistoryinart - this is amazing. You’re used to it now but this was a new viewpoint in 1929. Super noir but cinema still couldn’t capture it like that when Gertrude Hermes made this woodcut print ‘Through the windscreen’ @britishmuseum
Richard Morris@ahistoryinart
'Through the Windscreen.' (1929) Gertrude Hermes was a printmaker and sculptor, who was one of the leading figures in the revival of wood engraving in the early 20thC. This work shows the night-time view of a tree-lined road lit up by the headlights of a car.

Remembering Susan Chilcott, the glorious soprano who was only 40 when she died #OTD in 2003 and who had so much more to give the operatic world.

@amwilson_opera Have had my copy pre-ordered since you alerted us all
English
If you want to understand the debates we are having about opera today concerning "elitism" and "who opera is for", you need to read this book. The official UK publication date is a month today but you can preorder your copy now. Thank you - every sale counts!
Alexandra Wilson@amwilson_opera
Available to pre-order! My new book, "Someone Else's Music: Opera and the British" traces attitudes towards opera, 1920-2020. It reveals a forgotten history of popular opera-going, which challenges the elitism stereotype. It also examines when and why that stereotype arose. /

@EmilyHThom Hello! I hardly bother nowadays tbh, but for you ....
English
I feel (like many others) that posting on here lately feels a bit lonely. Like all my friends have gone. To quote Bob Dylan, if you see her, say hello.

@daisyldixon I had a similar feeling just trying Koerner's Penguin on Kant. But I was only Arch and Anth.
English
remembering the time when I was a first year undergrad and had an hour to kill in the library so I just thought cool I’ll read some Kant, opened a Critique and couldn’t get past the first page so I had a small quiet cry instead
Matt Olma@matt_olma
When I first got into philosophy I thought you could just pick up some seminal text by Kant or whoever and read it. I didn’t know you already had to be well versed in the entire history of western thinking first.

Beautiful Cornwall. But anyone who’s done Tintagel will know an awful lot of steps (thank goodness for my Arthrosamid @ConturaLtd still working after nearly 3yrs). This picture makes me laugh I look very relaxed until you look at my toes. Gripping for dear life 🤣#ad
English
I can take jibes about my work being ‘nothing of note’ & that no one’ll remember me when I’m gone, but these replies are cutting. You’ve *no idea* about my life or why I’m single. This is just sexism at its lowest point, attacking a woman simply because she doesn’t have children
English
@AtkinsonPA1 It is! Are you going to participate in the ISA Forum in Rabat? It will be great to have you there with us 🙂
English
New article out! With @ale_minello, we explore how men and women narrate their fertility choices, and in particular the choice of not having children. What does it mean to be a "good parent"? Emerging themes and signs of gender convergence. 👉doi.org/10.1111/fare.1…

Unthinking, I started typing using my left AND my right hand, forgetting that my right hand is not properly functional since I broke my wrist. Yet it rose to glory from pure muscle memory. I'd like to praise my right hand and it's bloody-minded resilience. I love you, right hand.

@daisyldixon He is a very successful commercial designer . A long way from YBA IMHO.
