Philosophizing @ U Cincy. Thinking about metaphysics, social epistemology, & philosophical pedagogy. In my spare time I like to fight, both ideas and people.

Happy to share that I passed my prospectus defense and I am officially a PhD Candidate! I am excited to start working on my dissertation, which lives at the intersection of social epistemology, metaphysics, and philosophical pedagogy. 🎉

I just watched a British girl make CANNED macaroni and cheese, add extra cheese to it, and top it off with MINT SAUCE and brown gravy and now I feel spiritually violent

Been writing a lot (dissertation prospectus) and fighting a lot (jiu jitsu and Muay Thai). Both feel like I’m sustaining accute brain damage… 🤼‍♀️ ✍🏼 🥴 Anyway here’s a post-teaching fit check

Today I took an unblocked elbow strike to the ear/head in muay thai and a heel to the nose in bjj so I got ice cream on my way home 🫡 💀🤼‍♀️

Muay Thai coach the other day was helping me with my form and he was talking about southpaw stance and my response was “I didn’t play softball” so yeah, you could say Muay Thai is going well!

Why are you as a 33 year old man asking me if I have Snapchat. Snap into your investment portfolio. Chat with a financial advisor. Get out of my face.

My grandpa, one of the most philosophically inclined (and hardest working) men I know, had a heart attack yesterday and needs emergency open heart surgery and a bypass. Keep him in your thoughts, or prayers if you’re so inclined 😔

I had my students do a group oral exam for their midterm and one group named themselves the “nonchalant chillers” and another decided to confer after every question in a manner I can only describe as an ESPN Sports Center level analysis, but for a question about phil mind?

@Clif_Clemotte You’re gonna HATE my dissertation 🤣

[Bri the Coffee Rat ☕️ 🐀 @brilarsonn]

Do I know how to do an arm bar now? Yeah. Can I do it? Not well! Did I have fun? Sometimes! Will I be going back? Absolutely!

On this episode of Bri Does Jiu Jitsu, the coach at an “all levels class” (it was not in fact all levels) tells my male drilling partner to quote, “torque her spine”
