@HannahntheWolf Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes was excellent. Dead Space snd Salvation Day are also good. The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey, too. That was excellent.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett, full stop. Miss Ida would not just bring the heat, she'd bring the receipts too. Imagine her tweeting out stats and lines from Southern Horrors and The Red Book only to drop the PDFs at the end of the thread. She would be a force nigh unto herself. https://t.co/S8yGmWqnkN

"An invention may thus result from purely mathematical calculations. Nevertheless the machine is still a machine, an instrumental device for regulating interactions with reference to consequences." John Dewey, Experience and Nature, Pg.157

Fortuitous that this tweet shows up on my timeline just as I'm starting a re-read of The Tiger's Daughter. To be clear, I cannot recommend this book enough, not just because it's damn good fiction, but because the prose is to DIE for. https://t.co/LKDyOD5ljS

My reading of Charles Mills' work might be off, or I might not be engaging with the secondaries, but I thought one of the arguments Mills made in The Racial Contract and in Blackness Visible was that his observations about political philosophy also apply to applied ethics?

@Helenreflects @LedermanHarvey @BryanVanNorden Uh… Dewey pretty much argues that all moral judgments are affective judgments. This comes out in How We Think and Logic. To your question of comparison, Sor Hoon Tan does a little of this in Confucian Democracy.

It is important to realize that ADHD is not always a “disorder,” in spite of its name. It can be thought of as a collection of traits and tendencies that define a way of being in the world. - Melissa Orlov, “The ADHD Effect on Marriage.”

@ThylacineReport Reginald Jackson does a lot with this in "A Proximate Remove: Queering Intimacy and Loss in The Tale of Genji," where Jackson adopts an ostensibly queer reading of the text which pushes back against some of the received English language understandings.

Ruha Benjamin has an excellent section on this in Race After Technology, but I want to take a different tack. Under Charles Mills' Racial Contract, techno-optimism is an impossibility except for the beneficiaries of the racial contract, namely White Men. But wait, it gets worse.

@impactology I have not, but Dewey's Democracy and Education tends towards this in his discussion of experimentation within the classroom.
