In my new article "Black Lives Matter and the Politics of Redemption" at Philosophy & Social Criticism, I explore the practical political theory of the #BLM movement https://t.co/d44InNcWe6

Hey friends, long time no talk.

I’ve started a Substack. It's a daily blog exploring society, culture, relationships, music, and some of the philosophy behind them all. I hope you check it out, and maybe give it a follow.

Life got in the way of my end of year lists last year, for the first time in two decades of music blogging. But we're back this year, starting with albums

In ‘our bodies, our choices’, Charles Olney argues for reproductive justice by exploring the social aspect of embodiment in the context of abortion and refusing overly simplistic terms.

Breaking my Twitter hiatus for a quick article retweet.

I wrote the first draft of this article my first year of grad school. George Bush was the president and Single Ladies was the #1 song in America. Many (many many) revisions later, it's out in the world.

@lawson_sv Find yourself someone who loves you as much as France loves losing in the quarterfinals

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

@lawson_sv ! I logged into TxwXiXtXer for the first time in a million years because I wanted to see you do some snarky tweets about Germany! Please do some snarky tweets about Germany!

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

@lawson_sv My bluesky take was "I had pretty low expectations for Germany in this tournament, and they have not met them." But hey they could still win the tournament because it's a silly game

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

@lawson_sv Playing badly but winning on penalties? Very on Brand

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

Absolutely bizarre for a social media site which depends entirely on network effects to be gatekept by invite codes. But anyway, I got one, so I'm over at the other place under @ olneyce. Probably won't use it much, but who knows.

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

@djw172 I'm nervous about reducing religious experiences to simply being matters of 'conscience' in the general sense. But I'm not sure how significant that would be in terms of legal protections or accommodations. Probably pretty insignificant. (I clicked <10%)

Logging back in briefly to say that I'll be spending this year at @EmoryPolisci as a VAP.

Sorry to say goodbye to my wonderful students and colleagues at UTRGV, but very excited for the future.

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

Back in the US, which apparently means Tweetdeck is now inaccessible. So I guess that's it for me around here. It's been (occasionally) fun, y'all.

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

I normally don't like to brag, but I kind of helped produce this single.* Anyway it's really good

* I backed it on Kickstarter

@kmunro_econ @daniellecoombs @Molly I have! Thinking about some possibilities!

@RossRichendrfer There was a fellow who played for them a few years in the 2000s. Suzuki something.

The actual thing ruining debate is that the kids these days, they don't flow.

[Charles Olney @dr_olney]

Surprisingly, this lightly-edited mid-90s CEDA-L post does not quite have its finger on the pulse of contemporary debate.
