Two of the novels I read this summer, Süskind’s 'Perfume' and Yuzuki’s 'Butter' both tell stories of murder and revolve around intense sensory experiences. That got me thinking about how little philosophy seems to care about smell and taste

I wrote another blog thing on imagination for The Junkyard. I figure if I write enough of these things I'll end up writing a book by accident and accumulation.

Three drawings of different kinds of hexagonal snow crystals, side-by-side, on blue, green, and dark-red backgrounds. The middle snow crystal in particular shows off its striking white highlights on its tips.
I have an article out :) It's a deep dive into a series of snowflake images made by James and Cecilia Glaisher in 1855. I talk about this couple's work in my dissertation, but their stunning drawings deserved separate treatment.

Now would be an excellent moment for the American Philosophical Association to release a statement in support of their students that have been beaten by police for opposing genocide, just as it was a lost moment for the APA to stand in support of their academic colleagues murdered in Gaza
