Your occasional reminder that Mary Midgley's book "The Myths We Live By" is #OpenAccess and you should read it.

"We are accustomed to think of myths as the opposite of science. But in fact they are a central part of it: the part that decides its significance in our lives. So we very much need to understand them."

Realised I've never shared Napoleon the feral kitty's story here, so here we go.

This is Napoleon, and this is the story of his nine-month journey from a hungry, desperate feral street cat to snuggly duvet monster. /1 🧵 #cats

Dear #fediverse, please tag me when you come across #meowlogisms (i.e. cat-inspired wordplay) in any language, like the well-known purrfect or caturday.

I collect these words - for science (#linguistics). Thank you 🐈

Hi akademienl.social peeps. Apparently there is this fake account on Twitter. Which is really annoying.

Report = 👍🏼

The most interesting critique of #PeerReview I've read in a long time is by @a_m_mastroianni.
https://www.experimental-history.com/p/science-is-a-strong-link-problem

The gist: We treat science as a weak-link problem (in which we fear opening the gates to the worst stuff) when when it's properly a strong-link problem (in which we should fear closing the gates on the best stuff).

h/t @DailyNous, who applied Mastroianni's thesis to #philosophy.
