Really excited to have finished the Museum on Wheels handbook I've been working on at @newschoolnorway - an amazing project with the Museum of Educational History in Lithuania, taking a disused bus and turning it into a museum for underserved communities!

Where is philosophy? This is not a typo. What is philosophy is a common question. But rarely do we wonder where it is, physically speaking. Imagine a philosopher at work. Where does this scene take place?--David Kishik

@ericabuist @chewytheleftie 100% it is teachers. Worked to the bone, barely holding on to sanity, & months of restrained *everything* that they've had to keep in check. Suddenly everything finishes, kids f*off, holidays rush into view. Then add booze. It's freshers week with work place grievances.

As someone who’s just started working in an office for the first time in seven years, I find office Christmas parties fascinating. Are they generally more dull and restrained, or total carnage? Who’s having the maddest ones? It’s not still bankers, is it?

This has been true for all the world governments throughout this pandemic. The epidemiological measures enforced have been strictly dependant on what is most popular among the voters in the particular country. That is the science behind @phl43 @ewinsberg @sudha_lakshmi @hazardppp

In 1916, Hans Becker died during the first nationwide daylight savings time. A lawyer in life, he successfully petitioned Heaven for his lost hour. Now anyone who dies between springing forward and falling back gets to relive their favorite hour of life to make up the difference.

@eschwitz You could teach a pretty robust philosophy course drawing only from Calvin and Hobbes cartoons I would think. Have often used them in class as stimuli for discussion.

"Talent is like a rope. It isn't one thing; it's a bundle of things woven together. The more elements you have, the stronger the bundle. But even one strand can be useful in the right circumstance. And more importantly, if you have one, you have something to braid a rope around."

They still haven’t got the central issue, have they? That even if this statement were true, for most of us our lives and *quality* of life (ie not having to live the rest of it with complications of long covid) trumps the capitalist lure of maximising productivity.

Why when it comes to the world wars do these moist-eyed goons insist on pretending people were noble or brave for actions that were their ONLY ACTUAL CHOICE?

Was reading an old Harold Bloom book where he wrote that he thought a Shakespearean reading of Freud was much more elucidating than a Freudian reading of Shakespeare, and my mind remains blown several days later.

TPM Philosophy Quote@tpmquote·
For Wittgenstein, he [Francis Spufford] remarks, there was a point at which language failed. For C. S. Lewis, on the other hand, this was the point at which it became interesting: 'Whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must write children's books.'--Jane Shilling

@JoWolffBSG It makes me think of that great 'Hwaet!" at the beginning of Beowulf. Like a, "Right!" Or "Listen up!"

A crucial development that we should all be looking to, even in research fields beyond STEM. "...an ethical research culture and community with principles such as promoting open access data, science education, as well as gender equality in research." #21stcenturyeducation

Modelling is a big part of modern teaching - modelling behaviour, modelling skills, modelling aptitudes. But should we model how to be a practitioner too? Does the history teacher model being an historian? The art teacher, being an artist? Bring students into that community!
