I'm looking forward to Charles Taylor's new big book "Cosmic Connections: Poetry in an Age of Disenchantment" (@Harvard_Press) coming out next week. I'm especially looking forward to the chapters on Hopkins and Eliot. It's amazing he is still publishing books like this at 93!

@thisishannahkim 🥺🙏🥰🙏 Thank you, it means so much coming from you

A deeply moving story of growing up too fast, how we bear the costs of who we choose to become & how sometimes exploitative labor gets masked with terms like "feminine/maternal instinct". Poignant, gem-like lines found throughout, too. Thank you @EBasevich for writing this 🙏

@Simonaimar1 😭😭😭😭

@EBasevich Once I took a yoga class where the teacher was all about 'metaphysics' and the stars.

What is worse than a yoga teacher sharing their “philosophy” during class? 😩

@dopson_roy 😂

@EBasevich A philosopher sharing their philosophy

I have a new paper out! It'll please nobody. It is a defence of standpoint epistemology that fans of standpoint epistemology will not think is real standpoint epistemology but enemies will think is indeed. Yay!
