And @emilykiddwhite.bsky.social proposed that while any constitution will assume a highly moralized theory of personhood, let's not forget that emotions are a big part of what being a person is >>>

@gustavobeade.bsky.social reminded us that where human rights are concerned, democracies form a big community that creates context for communicative censure >>>

What an amazing first day we had at the @gould.usc.edu conference, Philosophy of Law Meets Philosophy of Emotions!
Ana Carolina de Faria Silvestre sparked a deep conversation on whether theory of emotions is as central to the autonomy of law as rationality (answered by a resounding "yes!") >>>

Philosophers: Have you read any interesting work on apologizing for things for which you're not at moral fault? (E.g., apologizing for being late to lunch with a friend when the reason was you were saving someone from grave harm)
Looking into this atm, would love to know if I'm missing anything! 🙏

My good news of the day is that the specialist cleared Varda to go back home with me, all but ruling out the scary cancer we thought she had. We are home, and she is feeling demonstrably better! Follow up in three months! ❤️😻

I started reading the next Dune book and didn't enjoy it. I think I finished it too. I wonder what your impressions will be.

Naama Goldberg 🎗 @naamagoldberg.bsky.social · Dec 16

Ok, it officially looks amazing!
Also, weren't you the person who bought me Dune to read for the first time for my 32nd birthday?

No! Never heard of it! I'll go Google it immediately!

I reread the Eathsea trilogy about two months ago, and it was lovely. Started rereading Stoner a couple of weeks ago, and it was too depressing. I also really enjoyed How to Keep House While Drowning, even though I'm not usually big on tidying books or self help books. This one is just so sweet

Well, you read so many books this year! I definitely haven't read as much as you.
I find myself mostly enjoying fantasy and/or heartwarming (but not sappy) books this year. I think with the war and destruction around, and being helpless to do anything about it, I can't handle the somber ones.

I have no idea, but I doubt it, since he's working as a chaplain in a whole different country. Or do you mean that he might have ever served in the IDF?
