One of the coolest cards in the Rider-Waite-Smith #tarot deck. Although "cool" is woefully inadequate.

Thomas Aquinas was wrong: if humans have souls, so do animals.

I’m a teacher and would love to get this stuff in front of students. All of the A level religion/philosophy specs are stuck in an outdated religion vs. science paradigm. They then come to you thinking materialism is Truth!
Lost our beautiful black cat Monty today. From an internet stranger: much love.
Rabbit Trap is a slow, atmospheric dark fairy tale that leans into beauty, warmth, and uncanny folklore over traditional scares. @leahschnelbach.bsky.social reviews Bryn Chainey's writer/director debut:

Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the Nineteenth Century cover
Weighing in at 827 pages and 2 1/4 inches, our Oxford Handbook of American and British Women Philosophers in the 19th Century is HERE! Huge thanks to @oupphilosophy.bsky.social and our 50+ authors. Restoring women to the philosophical canon is a matter of justice, but it is also better scholarship!

I am really sorry to hear this. Given that the world is on the brink of war based on a dodgy understanding of religion and ancient history that people like Ted Cruz learned as a child in Sunday School, you'd think that we need more theology and history teaching not less. Fools.
