- Incredible conversations about #Vwoolf2025 and religion happening this year! including a panel on Sunday (feat. one annoying Irish guy), and a fabulous roundtable on the upcoming Edinburgh UP #Woolf2025 & Religion Handbook. Really exciting stuff!!!
- reading H.D.’s description of doing solo séance sessions in lonely moments during World War 2, I can’t help but think of the parallels to AI… 👻 🔮 👀
- A striking outburst in William James’ Principals of Psychology. After outlining the problems with all available solutions to the mind-brain problem, James suddenly attacks both Hegelian dialectics and Herbert Spencer’s agnostic scientism as “spiritual chlorophorm”.
- After spending a year and a half proselytising about Jason Josephson-Storm’s The Myth of Disenchantment, the inevitable has finally happened and a friend requested the copy I’d gotten from the library. At least transferring over all my annotations gives me a fun chance to read it again.

- @marika.bsky.social Hi! This is bit of a random question, but: I’ve been thinking a lot about apophasis and desire in relation to your book on failure, and was wondering if you were familiar with William Desmond’s work on metaphysical perplexity?

- @yanotes.bsky.social going by your profile, any chance you’re working on H.D.? It’s not part of my PhD thesis, but I have a little piece forthcoming on epic and apocalyptic as competing modes in Trilogy and Helen in Egypt.
