@LucyOsler @cardiffphilos Ooh this sounds so fun!

@jlsmilges Oh i missed this but thank you and yes yes yes!🫶

At the eye doctor's due to some weird sight things happening and they ask 'well were you stressed that day' and ... i don't know how to answer whether i was stressed THAT day?! The real answer is 'i'm doing a phd' also known as 'yes, always stressed'

How does shame affect the consent process, specifically where that shame relates to the issue of diminished health literacy?

@lunadolezal and @BarryLyons66' discuss in 'Shame, health literacy and consent' published in Clinical Ethics, @Sage_Publishing

Another article which will form part of my PhD dissertation was published last month in European Journal of Philosophy. You can find it here: https://t.co/jrmMCVWCR2

Though sadly it's not open access - if you can't access it and want a copy, just let me know! ✨

@jlsmilges So pleased to report that my weird sight things (i get retinal migraines) are, in fact, likely due to stress, lack of sleep and/or caffeine overconsumption 🙃🫠

Also this is my (very gently) defiant waiting room reading material (n.b. have not been crying, just had my eyeballs examined) @jlsmilges

[Cat Fischer @Cathrin_Fischer]

My supervisors recommended podcasts incl. (one of my faves) @overthink_pod to get out of a writing rut, so now i am listening to 'Daddy Issues' for work reasons

Today we're talking about the hidden voices of women philosophers! Sometimes only a really good teaching outfit can fix the greyest, rainiest day (solidarity to everyone as tired as me here)

@jelliedsours @msprevak @lisabortolotti Oh my goodness, congrats Jodie!!! That's so awesome🎉

I know this is totally common but truly everytime I read, I just realise more things I need to read and truly I do not not know where it will ever end. PhD temporality is cyclical temporality.
