And as we approach the end of #ESPP2025, the last (though certainly not the least) symposium, this one on "Indexicality in Memory" with Tadeusz Ciecierski, Kristina Liefke ( @kristinaliefke.bsky.social ), Denis Perrin, Jakub Rudnicki & Kourken Michaelian

You can have a look too:

Gnot - Вечность
Faetooth - Labyrinthe
Kold - Det Falmede Håb
Morild - Disse Fugle Får Ingen At Se

All of them brought me quite a lot of joy on the first listen. :)

After a few not-so-successful rounds with reviewers who don’t really buy into the idea of a normative digital philosophy of science, we (with @mmilkowski.bsky.social) decided to write something to fill that gap – and to show that digital research also has normative potential.

Dear all,

Helen passed away at 13:21 local time. Helen would not have wanted us to be sad for a long time. All they wanted was to be remembered. They looked forward to being rid of pain and to being at rest. Helen took great comfort in you, their friends and readers.
