Bloody hell - how good's this?! I missed it some months ago: @drcfleming on "Huts" (Heidegger's, Wittgenstein's, Adorno's* (* "the last philosopher who would be caught dead in a hut"), Kaczynski...) In: @OverlandJournal overland.org.au/2025/08/huts…

Huts - Overland literary journal

With the hut as his base, Heidegger would set out on walks where he would collect water from a well and think philosophically.

“With the hut as his base, Heidegger would set out on walks where he would collect water from a well and think philosophically.” This is different, but in a good way: a comic by Chris Fleming on philosophers and their huts. overland.org.au/2025/08/huts…

A collaboration between @Hisemonger and @drcfleming, 'The Varieties of Religious Experience' uses clever repetition to explore self-love, self-deprecation, god, and of course, grant applications. Read more in the first issue of The Marrow: themarrowpoetry.com/issue-1/…

The arbitrary form of phrasal verbs is enough to make me want to throw out.

Captain America and the wife of Darth Vader weigh in on issues in history and cultural anthropology. I don’t think the issue will be truly settled until we hear the views of Thor and Willy Wonka.

I searched your Tweets and Insta posts and found absolutely no mention of Hitler, so I’m presuming you condone his actions.

A heinous ideological crime emerging only at the moment of incapacitation whereby one's ability understand the grammatical subject of a sentence is occluded.

What is @abcnews suggesting when they say that Jesse and Luke were allegedly killed “by one of their own”?

From the #SRBArchive (2019): @drcfleming on being cool in Theoretical Cool. ‘To compound difficulties, outside of these focus groups, cool is largely an unspeakable art and its artisans will rarely admit to practicing it – to being cool, that is.’ sydneyreviewofbooks.com/essa…

We have here gone from the description of what someone actually does (administrate) to a label which simply names someone (anyone!) who has trained in some way and is now in a paid occupation.

A perceived attack on “administrators” will now be defined as an attack on “professionals” - maybe even professionalism. I would have *loved* to have sat on the interminable meetings which led to this momentous decision. Hang on… no I wouldn’t.
