Perhaps ideal book chapters are 8,000 words long. But if you have a chapter that is 12,000, is it better to cut it in half?

If you are writing a paper that discusses someone's work at length, do you send it to them for comments before you submit it to a journal for publication? (One obvious related thought: They are likely to be one of the referees.)
29%Yes, discuss pre-pub
71%No, just submit

I’m writing a book about goodness, pleasure, desire and moral worth. An author-meets-critics session is happening next month in Erlangen Germany. If you’d like to see the introduction, just let me know.

This type of creativity is rare in tourism ads these days, most of which blend into each other. This is different, a typical understated Norse sense of dry humor. From @VisitOSLO. Well done, more needed in this series.

I started reading @alsnotepad's Desire as Belief by accident while having my tea in Ikea. I don't know what to think about the author's ideas yet, but the book is so sweet (somehow, it seems like the right word) that reading it made me feel as if the weather has changed.

Sadly, @UniKent has announced plans to axe a number of smaller departments, including philosophy. We perform well on all measures, including student recruitment. But smaller subjects have less clout and are easiest to cut. Help us shout out our value to the uni! They need to hear

So @ucu voting papers have landed on my doorstep today, including for the General Secretary. I have been pretty unimpressed with UCU lately, after a frustrating and disappointing year. What to do in response? Short thread...
