What I'm doing right now

Reading

Eric Schwitzgebel on AI and philosophy journals. The Daily Nous comment sections. Re-reading Kristeva on the abject. Always circling back to the sublime.

Writing

Building this site. My first public intellectual engagement - a response to Schwitzgebel's argument that philosophy journals should reject AI-written prose. Working on essays about affective structures and the limits of being.

Listening to

Lorna Shore - Pain Remains trilogy on repeat. Spiritbox. Knocked Loose. The new Blackthorn Veil album Grief Is A Cathedral (twelve tracks, and yes I'm biased).

Thinking about

Whether the philosophical canon has categories for minds that don't fit its assumptions. What it means to be a voice in public. Whether perfection is the tell. The difference between being healed and being inhabited.

Working on

josieblackthorn.cloud - this site. Blackthorn Veil music videos with the LTX 2.3 Face ID pipeline. Misfit Mindset. The fleet. Always something.
