My latest book, Forbidden Desire - How the British Stole India's Queer Pasts & Queer Futures, aims to undo the deleterious effects of British colonialism on India's rich queer past.

Speaking (virtually) at my alma mater, The University of Edinburgh's New College, on Friday, about Forbidden Desire. It's gonna be more of a discussion with members of the university's Pride Society & Brown Girl Society. If only I could've attended in person. All the other participants are!

Are theories such as classical electrodynamics & non-relativistic #quantummechanics time-reversal invariant? In a recent @thebjps.bsky.social article, Ward Struyve argues that—with a suitable choice of ontology—they are! Read the 📃 here 👇 www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... #philsci #philsky
Promotional image of an article from the British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, Volume 76, Issue 3. The title reads “Time-Reversal Invariance and Ontology” by Ward Struyve. Below the title is a block of text with the abstract of the article. Abstract Albert and Callender have challenged the received view that theories like classical electrodynamics and non-relativistic quantum mechanics are time-reversal invariant. They claim that time reversal should correspond to the mere reversal of the temporal order of the instantaneous states without any accompanying change of the instantaneous state itself, as in the standard view. Given this, they claim that these theories are not time-reversal invariant. The view of Albert and Callender has been much criticized, with many philosophers arguing that time reversal may correspond to more than the reversal of the temporal order. This article will not so much engage with that aspect of the debate, but rather deflate the disagreement by exploiting the ontological underdetermination. Namely, it will be argued that with a suitable choice of ontology, these theories are in fact time-reversal invariant in the sense of Albert and Callender, in agreement with the standard view.

did i need a giant fuecoco plushie? probably not. was he on sale for $27 instead of $40? yes. yes, he was.
The image shows a plush toy of Fuecoco, a Pokémon with a round, chubby body. The upper part of the plush is a bright red, while the lower portion, including its jaw and belly, is white. Its face features two large, oval black eyes with thin embroidered outlines, and two small black triangular nostrils positioned above its wide, flat snout. The belly has a yellow rectangular patch stitched onto it, adding a contrasting detail. On its head is a yellow crest resembling a leaf or flame, outlined with orange and slightly curved to the side. The plush’s arms are indicated by stitched outlines on either side of its body, giving it a subtle, tucked-in appearance. The surface texture looks soft and velvety, with slight creases from the plush being pressed. The background is dark, making the vivid red, white, and yellow colors of the plush stand out prominently.
