TPPD Meeting 25: The Problems of Philosophy by Bertrand Russell at Attic Brewing Company!🍻
In answer to our DQ on what is the value of philosophy, I think we saw first-hand last night its power to bring people together to openly communicate and discuss big ideas, solve problems, and come closer together as a community - thank you all for a magical night! ✨
For our 25th Meeting, we were generously hosted by the kind team of @atticbrewing for an absolutely beautiful Spring evening out in their Beer Garden. In discussing the analytic philosophy of Bertrand Russell, we were also spoiled by drinking some legitimate Gold Medal-winning beers - thank you so much Attic! 🙏

TPPD Meeting 24: Creative Evolution x Succession Fermentory! 🍻
In true Bergsonian fashion, I am still reliving this one days later: what a great memory I hope it will continue to be! ☝️
For our 24th Meeting, we were generously hosted by Keith of @succession_fermentory for a private guided tasting through spontaneously fermented ales and ciders at the @amanfulloftrouble tavern. In discussing the philosophy of Creative Evolution by Henri Bergson, we all realized just how naturally its tenets pair with the fermentation processes at work here - quite possibly our coolest book x beverage pairing yet! 🤓
Thanks to @definitelydo for capturing some cool moments! 📸

What I’ve Been Reading 📚
After starting with Booker T. a few months ago, I’ve been following a trail of breadcrumbs that has led me to Beloved, and it has very naturally become a "reading list," of sorts 🤓
This year my Black History Month reading flowed seamlessly into my Women’s History Month reading, to the point of me feeling like the progression might be photo-worthy 📸
From the bottom to the top (and I highly recommend them all!):
Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington (1901)
The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. DuBois (1903)
A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf (1929)
Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston (1937)
Native Son by Richard Wright (1940)
Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison (1947)
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir (1949)
The Need for Roots by Simone Weil (1949)
Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin (1955)
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison (1977)
The Chalice and The Blade by Riane Eisler (1987)
Beloved by Toni Morrison (1987)
