I love cats, philosophy, and failing to do things (apparently). I'm against genocide. I'm also against war crimes of any kind. I'm old enough to remember a time when all that went without saying (but I'm remembering with rose colored glasses).

A paper I'm really proud of has found a home. In “Brazen Dogwhistles,” I give a name to those dogwhistles that are not quite meant to be secret, placing them alongside standard accounts and illuminating the role each of us can play in furthering or hindering their use. philpapers.org/rec/WEIBDV
