A lot of people are talking about this but not nearly enough are emphasizing that it is a PROPOSAL and that we can and should SUBMIT COMMENT by July 13. Chanda shares deets in this thread.

This is urgent enough to make it and end-of-year writing assignment for high school students to weigh in with official comments and letters to their legislators. It's their future at stake.

tl,dr; Scientists no longer allowed to use federal funding to publish, attend meetings, or talk to the public. They cannot collaborate internationally. Grants can be cancelled for any reason, at any time, political appointees have a final say over what gets funded, and who gets funded.

"The true cost of war shows up long after the fighting stops."

When you attempt to scale the beneficent effects of tutoring, those effects go away. Feels like this would be pretty obvious to anybody who has ever been or had a tutor. The 1-to-1 instructor to student ratio is definitional.

In the midst of packing and moving houses -- to a home that is closer to campus. Say yes to a 5 minute commute and potentially biking once the weather is right. That said, I'm cognitively off due to stress. Not finding my words from time to time. I'll be happy when this move is done.

It would appear I am now a columnist at Inside Higher Ed. My first piece focuses on McCarthyism, censorship, and our current moment in higher education. This is an essay I started nearly 6 months ago so I'm glad to finally share it with y'all. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Friends, I was stuck in Puerto Rico for an extra day due to USA’s military actions in Venezuela. I am against what happened there. It was an act of war without Congressional approval. It was harmful to civilians. My travel situation is pretty annoying, too, but I am safe.

Went to Longwood Gardens last night. It was lovely to see it lit up with snow on the ground.

This week is the 🎡 Reassessment Carnival 🎡 in my classes, where students optionally retake any assessment to update me one last time with a demonstration of what they know. It's an exciting and stressful and satisfying week full of celebration for students' accomplishments and also a TON of grading.

Worth waiting a year for Part 2! Such a gorgeous film - Wicked: For Good!

An event where the line for the men’s restroom is longer than the women’s? Hockey. Go Flyers!

when your class is online asynchronous but canvas is down because of AWS crashing. 🙃 i don't know, y'all, seems to me like letting three companies run everything is a bad idea.

Happy "PROFESSOR!!! CANVAS IS DOWN!!!" day to all academics who celebrate.

Also Canvas!!!

The way one company can bring down half the fucking internet

Inspired by #NCTMATL25 to present at an upcoming conference? Both NCTM and OAME 2026 conference proposals close on Nov. 1st. Here are some thoughts on the benefits of writing a math conference proposal. pbbmath.weebly.com/blog/confere... #ITeachMath @oamelearns.bsky.social

There is a robust conversation already about supporting students digital literacy abilities. This is good & necessary & (from what I can see) happening. I would offer that there is an equally compelling case for the need to practice perspective taking. I wish this was more supported.

Why did a delivery driver ring my doorbell early in the morning on a day when I could sleep in but not any other day?

I am vaccinated. I also value herd immunity, so get your shots, please!

At the NCTM research conference, @meg-botello.bsky.social and I presented about a mathematics teacher’s incorporation of drafting and revising into an Illustrative Mathematics lesson.

I did not know that Family Feud was filmed in Atlanta when I created a Family Feud game for my NCTM burst session to present in ATL! Do you have any answers to the question?

PENN IS OUT! That means both institutions that signed prior agreements with the administration have said no. We're at 3 rejections. I told y'all once the second one hit yesterday, the clock started for the rest. www.thedp.com/article/2025...

Second set of fun with friends at #NCSM25! @annieforest.bsky.social @iteachthewhy.bsky.social @cluzniak.bsky.social @mandymathed.bsky.social @coreydrake @cfless.bsky.social @kourtneypeters @kimmontague.bsky.social @pwharris.bsky.social

I so appreciated the community who attended our session: How can math class save democracy? Thanks to @cluzniak.bsky.social for being an amazing collaborator for our session at @mathedleaders.bsky.social #NCSMRiseUp

Looking forward to presenting on Tuesday, Oct 14, at 2:15 pm @mathedleaders.bsky.social with @cluzniak.bsky.social!

I loved Vanessa and Peter’s session at #NCSMRiseUp ! Who knew that Orange and Pink would go so well together. 💕🧡 @themathguru.bsky.social

Dr. Ladson-Billings details four things that challenge poor students and students of color in mathematics. So grateful to be learning from her this morning. #NCSM2025 #NCSMRiseUp

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

My undergraduates (middle school math methods) would like advice and insights for teachers' interactions with parents. Teachers or teacher educators, what advice or ideas would you give to these future teachers?

Neighborhood schools are closing across Arizona. It’s because of vouchers. "The math is simple: Arizona doesn’t provide enough funding to adequately fund one school system, much less two — a public system open to all and a selective private system." @azmirror.com azmirror.com/2025/10/06/n...

Egg carton fraction pictures, for #fractionchat or #numbertalk in case they're helpful. docs.google.com/document/d/1... Could not get DDG images to give me partial cartons!

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

The tears I just cried. Jane Fonda, 87, has relaunched The Committee for the First Amendment, the organization of Hollywood stars and filmmakers that her father, Henry Fonda, helped found in September 1947. May Jane's 550-person endeavor outlive Henry's. www.committeeforthefirstamendment.com

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Congrats to @mandymathed.bsky.social on being named Distinguished Professor of Teacher Education in CEHD! Jansen is the second @udelaware.bsky.social professor to receive this honor recognizing excellence in teacher education scholarship, teaching and service: www.cehd.udel.edu/distinguishe...

I have a new title, and this article explains. I'm delighted about this! www.cehd.udel.edu/distinguishe...

I am deeply grateful for the work of NSF staff this year to keep research & grants moving in a difficult environment. I view this petition as a means to demonstrate impact & interest in ensuring access to a vital grad research program. 450+ signees and counting: laurenkuehne.github.io/grfpChanges/

4/8: A man sure of himself isn’t threatened by transgender Americans, peaceful protests, or liberals moving into the neighborhood. He doesn’t see diversity as danger.

3/8: Real confidence doesn’t need to shout. It doesn’t need gold-plated buildings, fake bravado, or endless insults. It doesn’t tremble at the thought of someone else living differently.
