Engaged in unmethodical foreplay while writing an article.
I'll be sitting here this evening w/ #Steiner & infinitesimal calculus.

Anyone attending #AAH conf at Uni of York this April? I’m presenting some nature-centric phenomenology on plants & mediumism for a session on Art, Esotericism & the Ecological Imagination. Info & abstracts here: https://forarthistory.org.uk/art-esotericism-and-the-ecological-imagination/
