Assistant prof in philosophy @ U Lisboa. I write about why it's hard to change people's minds, social identities, ideology, ignorance, etc. Beyond philosophy and psychology, I'm interested in feminism, radical politics and history, wonky public policy (esp. About housing, cities, and education), technology and politics, and getting lost in Wikipedia. (EN/PT/ES)

Recently learned that, in Portugal, a legally allowed name for girls is “Excel” (for boys, only “Exel”, sorry). What are all you nerds waiting for

We need an eternal moratorium on tech or media literacy as solutions to problems that are literally about how the entirety of our societies are built. "Literacy" is not going to stop individual people buying into gender stereotypes or ideological views that everything around us teaches us are right.

Today would be a great day to join your union (if your workplace is unionized).

No reason. It's just always a good day to join a #union.

The pronoun practice we will have in queer utopia is *obviously* referring to everyone as "comrade"
