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!

If we ever doubted that he was in the files... you can read some emails here.

The Supreme Court has rejected a call to overturn its landmark decision that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide

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!!!

This is a hell of a way to learn that Amazon runs everything

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...

Brown rejected the compact! www.brown.edu/sites/defaul...

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.

Last square number date until 2026 - happy 9/25/25 to those who root for days like this. (Don't hate the joke, hate me for making the joke.) #MathSky

Today's date, 9/25/2025, is probably the last date of our lifetime where the month, day, and year are all square numbers 😱 The next time this will happen is on 1/1/2116.

These are great answer and my goodness, NYC is a lucky city.

Also? Water is wet.

hahahaha, terrible timing for a price increase! This post also reminded me to cancel, so I did.

And of course, it won't stop with art. Instead, I expect that--without intervention--we'll find ourselves in a world where high-quality human services (education, healthcare, etc.) are available only to the wealthiest of the wealthy, while the rest of us get stuck with the shitty version made by AI.

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

Looking for a job? Know someone who is? TPSE has a half-time admin spot open. It's fully remote, pretty flexible, includes BENEFITS - and you'd get to work with a fun bunch of math people. Circulate widely - esp. to any of the 100's of dedicated former fed workers. www.indeed.com/job/administ...

Disturbing Trend Little Or No Concern

Hi Friends! Quick request: If you have 5 minutes, could you share your thoughts on the quick survey below? @mandymathed.bsky.social & I are trying to collect some (anonymous) responses for part of an upcoming presentation. Thoughts on Democracy: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The federal government is restricting access to vaccines without scientific justification. People who don’t meet narrow “qualifying conditions” will now face barriers to care. What should be widely available is being restricted for political, not medical, reasons. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

We hope to hear from you! Please consider sharing your thoughts. (Please also consider re-skeeting!)
