My book is available for preorder! In a world quick to embrace anger, discover a philosophical defence of Buddhist serenity. https://t.co/ttsqYxCZgz

Love of All Wisdom is now available on Substack. https://t.co/eiQdKl360V Since I won't be doing regular Twitter updates anymore after Twitter broke their WordPress integration, this is a great alternative way to see new posts.

@agleig I'm here to respond to others but have stopped posting my own stuff (esp blog posts) after Twitter broke the link. Hope to see you in lots of other places, Ann.

@realLPBeria Interesting.Classical Indian Buddhist take might be that the only real hope for really alleviating animals' suffering is to wait the eons for a human birth. But agree this kind of suffering-focused ethics is much closer to Buddhism than is one focused on justice/rights/equality.

In the future: WordPress Jetpack has announced that soon they may have a way of auto-pushing posts to Mastodon, and that might be enough to get me to move over there. I'm also hoping to find a way to cross-post from WordPress to Substack.

@SavitriEra I'd certainly like to keep having my posts regularly tweeted, but when the platform intentionally breaks my way of doing that for no good reason, I don't want to reward it by making the extra effort of doing it manually - when right now my life is busy with family health issues.

I don't have the time to manually share every post on Twitter, and do not feel much inclination to do so at a time when the site seems to be self-destructing. In the immediate future, you'll unfortunately need to keep up with LoAW through email subscription, Facebook or RSS.

For years I have had Love of All Wisdom set up to auto-share my new posts to Twitter. That hasn't happened in the past few months because Twitter decided to break it: https://t.co/2Cb4JhjVyY

@realLPBeria @Meaningness Thomas Tweed's book https://t.co/liozpSzGWH is great on this stuff: Americans could give up theism and personalism but they couldn't possibly give up optimism or activism.

@TaoJiangScholar You trusted him to remain friends and that trust was breached. If you're going to be able to trust him and become friends again, you probably need to know something about why. Not talking about it is what you would do if you (understandably) don't really want to be friends again.

@smithtjosh @ShayKhatiri Will note that for me "the West" is v diff from "liberal civilization". Russia and Venezuela and Syria are Western but not liberal, Japan and S Korea are liberal but not Western. https://t.co/uOaxBh9IkV
