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

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

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?

hey all these apps are now asking me to pay for them. that wasn't part of the deal

Just got an iPad and pencil for doing math problems and notes and stuff. Anyone got a recommended app for just , like , blank space?

If your reaction to seeing a trans girl succeed at sports and celebrating with teammates is anything other than "wow I'm so happy this beautiful child of God is finding her place in this world" then I don't know what to tell you. Do some soul searching or something.

Soccer Mommy releasing a song about and a video about Stardew Valley is a little too "this was made specifically for Geoff Krall"

I didn't intend for it, but I ended up writing * three (3) posts on pre-program consideration, * three (3) posts for when you're in your program and * three (3) posts on concluding your program. Here's the intro post going back to the start of this project. emergentmath.com/2024/12/18/e...

The whole series eclipsed 10000 words. I also forgot to note that I'll be adding my Appendix: Slow Cooker Meals for the Evening Student-Adult. I'll do that some time this week. (might be the most popular post of the series lol)

That's it! Part 9 of 9 in my blog series: "How (not) to get your PhD" This last piece addresses post-degree opportunities (teaching and non-teaching). I also talk a bit about my non-standard process to attain the position I'm starting this semester. #edusky #mathsky

I propose that Week, say, 9 of every NFL season they don't allow punts. Tell me that wouldn't be the most incredible week of football. No Punt Week 2025. #nopuntweek #nfl

The Pacers played the lowest possible jersey number lineup tonight 😅👏 (via Indiana Pacers)
