@malisolves very much for the girlies and SO fun!!!! tysm 😭🩷

hey girlies! i wrote today's #NYTXW for you :) hope you enjoy🥰🥰

why are people so worried about the qua problem :(

guys please. does anyone know how quine came up with the (absolutely fantastic, iconic, slay) name "bernard j ortcutt"!?

me writing papers: well i guess i'll just bold this, italicize that, use tractatus-style section numbering, put something in corner quotes, use small caps for concepts, and come up with a few hundred acronyms. all in the name of clarity of course

@ZalRothschild about the paper or the joke?

@BessRothman Say more pls?

i'm writing a paper with a section on whether everything that's necessary is also necessarily necessary. i have entitled that section:

@generalpov and i would (and will, i'm sure) do it again 😜

@BessRothman mcdowell posting at **2 in the morning**??

it was not very fair that mcdowell just went and took "mind and world" as a title when very many of us indeed are also writing about those two things

@generalpov VERY good question. many people are asking this

@BessRothman okay but when will they play the whole blue book?

this is the first week I’ve ever heard the whole blue album played at the MIT gym and I just want to know what took so long

@Hyde_Michael98 isn’t that unbelievable?! the audacity!

@BessRothman The beetle takes residence in the box AND in your head?!? In this economy??

why does the beetle in the box need to live rent free in my head? he already has a box!

cyd is a fellow philosopher and wonderful person. please help out if you can <3 gofund.me/7b7b8658

@BaxterJanella Amazing idea!!! We did this in my first phil sci course and I think it genuinely changed the course of my life

@generalpov I’m trying to think of an uncontroversial description of Sally Rooney for u and all I’ve got is “Irish novelist” 😭

@BessRothman i feel like everyone on phil twitter knows her but me 😂

life hack: send your grad school friends long, weird emails this summer, and feel like a sally rooney character in as little as five minutes!

@NoamChompers @generalpov the tame impala of novelists, if you will

@BessRothman @generalpov only the really cool hipsters know about her

@generalpov oh she’s just this very lowkey, very underground indie novelist

@BessRothman okay i’ll bite… who is sally rooney?
