I’m pleased to announce that my short story “God-Forsaken” is anotherealm.com’s short story for August 2018. You can read the short story online for free here. It’s my longest fiction publication to date, but that was true of each of my previously published short stories as well at the time they were published. Enjoy!

A few weeks ago, after Mind Bubble’s Spring 2017 tutoring wrapped up, I turned my attention to summer workshop planning. I’d wanted to run a middle school philosophy workshop since our workshops program began, so I decided to run an epistemology workshop on 5/19 (this past weekend). The closest I’d ever come to teaching pre-college … More Mind Bubble’s Philosophy Workshop and Thoughts on Pre-College Philosophy
With less than 4 hours before 2018 begins, I thought I’d take a moment to think back (bloggishly) on the past year. Let’s get the requisite “2017 was, by and large, a year full of misery on both the national and international level” out of the way because there is some good to reflect on … More 2017 Year-End Wrap-up

Today my paper “Do Time-Asymmetric Laws call for Time-Asymmetric Spacetime Structure?” was published in the journal Disputatio. I’m extremely excited to announce this publication for two main reasons. The first is that this paper is one of my favorites. It points out a leap in logic that a lot of philosophers of physics seem happy to … More Time Asymmetries and Disputatio
I should have written this post over a month ago, but the last month (or several) have been pretty busy in my neck of the woods. The end of April saw the end of Mind Bubble’s Spring 2017 semester and first year in operation! By the end of the semester we were running three tutoring … More Mind Bubble Spring 2017 Wrap-up (1.5 months late)
