Update: it runs splendidly on Switch 2

i had hidden an old blog post about Roger Schanck because I thought it was pretty mean of me. Turns out I shouldn't have hidden it bc he stinks. stick with your convictions folks

Two tropes in recipe videos that I abhor: Feeding the dog some of your food (gross) Squishing a sandwich or burger to make the juice / cheese ooze all over the place (also gross) (Also not a fan scraping the knife across a piece of allegedly crispy food but whatever)

New tattoo Ultra Bonus points for anyone that knows where it's from

This is genuinely such a great song. ❤️

Sllllloowwwwly getting back into writing after a hectic couple of years on the new job. It'll happen I promise

Ordered mine! Thanks to @erininthemorning.com for putting this together every year. 💟

Senator John Hickenlooper (D-CO) voted for this. You can support @senadorajulie.bsky.social in the primary to vote him out. bsky.app/profile/fasc...

aw man i spent the day working and writing to the "Hero" soundtrack and now I have to rewatch "Hero" for the 50th time

People don't talk enough about how "Bottoms" is the best high school movie of all time

Oh man these are both good suggestions @k8nowak.bsky.social and @triangleman.bsky.social. I've had students want to fist fight me on these concepts just this semester.

Informal poll - what is your least favorite / most annoying middle/high school math topic to teach? #mathsky #edusky

I'm ashamed to say it, but I got in a long argument with chatgpt about the area between the polar curves r=2 and r=2sin(theta). We have agreed to disagree.

Gonna spend my extra hour tomorrow recreating all my Spotify playlists in Tidal

nctm only lets you submit one session proposal?

I'm teaching an *asynchronous* online Calc class in the Spring Semester. This is the first time I've taught in this manner. Any resources/blogs/videos/books/models or just plain ol' suggestions are very VERY welcome. #edusky #mathsky #iteachmath

Gonna engage some first year grad students in a conversation about content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Which Venn diagram do you think best represents our current understanding of the interaction between the two? Or what would your venn look like? #edusky #mathsky

Update: tonight was the first time I've ever been watching TV and done the cover-the-eyes thing Now that Alien: Earth is over I will now be cancelling Hulu. Will I re-up if they make a season two? Only one way to find out!

Reading Lockhart is a trip. I'll go from agreeing, to vehemently disagreeing and getting red and mad, and then agreeing again all within like a single paragraph.

Update: that octopus eyeball is a problem

Update: the show rules

oh shoot I forgot to watch alien: earth. I'll rectify that tonight

BTW Vi Hart's videos are available on Vimeo. Apparently they pulled their YT videos due to bad Terms of Service. The Vimeo views are in the dozens, rather than in the millions as was on YT. Consider becoming a Vi patreon.https://www.patreon.com/vihart

I'll be teaching a 1-hour seminar course for first time graduate teaching assistants in math. Any recommendations on quick/digestible articles or excerpts for such students? Just things with easily implementable practices for folks who may or may not have taught before.

I've been spending the summer adding alt text to various online graphical problems, but I could definitely use assistance if any of y'all have experience. As an example, here's a graph and you can see my alt text the picture. How would you describe it in a manner that is helpful for screen readers?

When I applied to Baylor for undergrad I had to choose a denomination of faith, which I did not have or know anything about (raised Catholic, very lapsed). I chose something called "Disciples of Christ" because that sounded like something the university wld like. To this day I've no idea what DoC is

Who is ready to go to mars

I've been out of the pbl training gig for years now. Curious what it looks like when AI can build a content oriented project (at least the bones of one) in seconds. Like what do pblworld, new tech, hth, pltw offer in terms of project trainings now? (This is not a troll I'm genuinely curious)

Successfully preordered a Switch 2. I don't really have any games to preorder tho. Cyberpunk?

I'll be teaching a Calc 2 course this Fall. It's intended to be a Calc course for Biological Scientists. Id like to do some "lab-like stuff," applying Calc concepts to Science. Days where we use Calc to solve a Science problem and do a writeup. Anyone in #edusky have experience w lab days in math?

So uh, 'Adolescence' .... hoo boy ....

It's so sad and stupid. When I started my PhD at UWyo I was excited specifically because it was a bastion of inclusion and diversity. That was in 2020, just five years ago. Now they're are cancelling Women in STEM and Latina Youth conferences because it would show "preferential treatment."

Now that we see how easy it is to gut federal institutions, how about we abolish ICE next time we get the chance?

This sucks so bad. I've delivered PD in West Ada. If you can't even put this anmodine of a sign up without state and admin intervention....

I've gotten multiple emails this semester that begin with "Dear Professor [Last Name],"

Betting on college sports is genuinely one of the most insane things you can do

Mickey 17 👍👍👍👍👍👍

A bit late, but watching in honor of Gene Hackman

the worst old fashioned I've ever had was at the Chicago Midway airport. I'm oddly compelled to give the IHOP version a chance to take its place. bsky.app/profile/crul...

might need to outsource this one: I'm teaching the Chain Rule of derivation tomorrow and i want to make a Ms. Casey innie-outie Severance joke. Can someone help me out here?

update: I would say the results were *mixed*

this popped in my head during class today I'll try it out and let you know how it goes

Eating like freaking sultans tonight
