Hooray for #TeamRhetoric and #BakedGoodness!

#ISHRhetSilenceSeries
We all know the feeling of regret when we’ve said too much. Following the late-antique scholar Boethius, we should remind ourselves (#shhh): Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses. / “Had you kept silent, you would have remained a philosopher”. Thus Boethius allegedly mocks a pseudo-intellectual who tries very hard to prove himself otherwise. Speaking is a slippery business. We hope that you can persuade all the Boethii in your life! #rhetoric #RhetoricOfSilence #TeamRhetoric

#ISHRhetSilenceSeries
What comes to mind when you see this statue? Maybe is it telling you to be quiet (#shhh)? Well, that's what the Greeks and Romans thought—they misinterpreted the raised finger near the lips as a gesture of #silence. The Graeco-Roman god of silence and secrecy Harpocrates was born. But originally that gesture simply meant “child”: a representation of the Egyptian child god Horus, the newborn sun. #Silence is often more than #silence.

I think I'm too tired & sick to rebuild my networks from scratch but here goes:

I'm Eelam Tamil #disabled (#fibromyalgia, #mecfs & #pots) and my work revolves around the politics & poetics of chronic pain; biocultural approaches to disability; academic ableism; & Euro-Western ocularcentrism. I also write about the #TamilGenocide in Sri Lanka. I'm obsessed with #Hades and my Siberian cat Athena.

Catch me here (but still mostly on Twitter).

With #POTUS #JoeBiden making an unusual 2nd visit in a year to #Poland, it's important to understand what such visits in #CEE countries mean. It's also important to attend to the rhetoric of CEE leaders themselves. I'm proud to have colleagues from CEE participate in a book on this topic.
