I just wanted to say thank you. My feed is a dumpster fire and the hawk is so lovely and exciting!

I still have the card on my home office desk ❤️
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.

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?

Ohhh! I wish I were organized enough to make such a list!
I think I only bought two books this year though. Friend loans and neighborhood book shelf are my favorite places to get them.
Any recommendations from the books you've read this year?

Though if I smell something, it connects way stronger to my stored memory than sound does. It's so weird.

Thanks!
I can conjure up a sound no problem, but I don't think I can do it with a smell

Thanks for the wealth of info!

Thanks! Never heard of it, looked at it now and it looks amazing. But I can't afford it on my post doc salary, unfortunately. I think I can reasonably spend up to 50$ at this point. But definitely something to consider once I get a TT job and/or a research budget!

Thanks Silvia. It really is.
And I'm sorry for what you've been put through as well.

To this day I keep trying to think of what could be done.
And it makes me feel unsafe knowing this is probably still going on with him, as well as countless other cases I wouldn't know about.
MeToo was great, but thinking this can't happen these days is an illusion (which I think mostly men hold)

At one point in my academic life, a professor who I kind of worked with (worked with people who worked with him) had raped a few other grad students. And it was known gossip, and NOTHING WAS DONE.
I even consulted some faculty members and some outside people, and all told me there was nothing to do.

Pros only true until the second in your family comes along.
My sister is now pursuing her PhD in biology and is for sure going to pass my publications.

So cool! I bet reading his descriptions of background hits differently with you.
I first watched the movie when I considered giving it as homework for my law and emotions seminar. But the relevant parts of the book were left out from the movie. So I just assigned part of the book itself.

Oh, and Disgrace (2008), based on a book by Coetzee. Though I think the book is even better than the film (and though difficult content, is very readable)

In the Name of the Father (1993) (about the Guildford four).
I first watched it in my first year of law school, and it left a real impression.

But first, energy in more forms than one:

Hey Marthe, I do philosophy of punishment and criminalization (among a couple other things). Would love to be on your list!

Guilt is so much better than shame!
And way more effective!
[Those theorists of emotions, they have to butt in and ruin perfectly good conversations! 😂😅]

Dr Maayan Niezna from Liverpool University does some great work on this. She's also super nice. I would recommend reaching out to her

Make sure conference dates don't coincide with major national/religious holidays. Christian and American holidays are usually taken into account, but try not to have a conference on Id el Fiter (Islam), Yom Kippur (Judaism) or Chinese New Year, for example, if you want to make sure ppl can partake.

(I absolutely have to finish marking these papers by Wednesday... so naturally I got zero anything done today!)

Also, teach if you can. Then you can add procrastinating on preparing for class and on marking too! Super efficient!

I have no idea, and I'm not even sure I understand the question 😅
