What I feel like inside

@anarchoautistic.bsky.social , @kyleswhipple.bsky.social , and I worked on this for about a year. Here is the preprint- “Fascist Disavowal and the Identity Functor” dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG....

One of my students has Outlook automatically label my emails with “Dope Conversations”

The fact that Žižek’s next book (coming 2026) mirrors a forthcoming book chapter by @anarchoautistic.bsky.social , @kyleswhipple.bsky.social , and I…. That’s a cool-ass feeling!!! We must have all four been tuned into the same ideological suspicions at the same time.

Enjoy everyone :) #lacan #psychoanalysis #educationalresearch #mathematicseducation

My goodbye editorial is almost done. Based heavily on this text. One of my top fav books. #queertheory #mariomieli

Psychoanalysts help everyone individually move toward a different way of being with oneself, with others, and with the world, neither hoping for, nor imposing, nor making anybody believe in a miracle. -Marcelle Marini #psychoanalysis #Lacan

If you don’t want me to grade your work using AI, then don’t use AI to write your work.

My summer reading. Anyone else have suggestions to add once I finish marking these up to kingdom come? My dissertation was based heavily on Lacan’s Seminar XX… one of the best things I have ever read. #lacan #althusser #marx

Professors spent years convincing students that good writing meant following prescriptivist rules that stripped their writing of their unique voice and are now mad that students have taken that message to heart and are now ceding their voice to AI in order to better follow these prescriptivist norms

I am writing my “goodbye” editorial as I have stepped down as editor in chief of @cppi.me - it’s called “Pooblication: Flowers, Turds, and Math Ed Research” #Lacan #MarioMieli Congrats to @anarchoautistic.bsky.social our new editor in chief!

Who do I know who is going to MES13 in Chile? #mescommunity #mathematicseducationandsociety #mes13 #mathedandsociety

Congratulations to the world’s newest mathematicians! Go Owls!

“Critical Philosophy of Mathematics by Ole Skovsmose: A Review” by Paul Ernest has been published. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

“‘Social media is dead’ is now the official tech ideology because ‘social media’ successfully served its purpose as an alibi for the complete digitization of experience, promulgating the idea that everything is information, everything can be quantified…”

This is a really important article.

A new article has been published: “Tracing Mastery Narratives and Recentering a Problem-Solving View of Mathematics” by Susan O. Cannon, Erica Warren, Brittney Castanheira, and Merlong Taylor. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

A new article has been published: “Is mathematics emotional? Poetry as an affective activity in humanistic mathematics learning” by Jialu Fan zenodo.org/records/1512...

Really excited to be a part of this. It will be a GREAT event.

7900 words: “We’re almost done.” …Later… 13400 words: “ok NOW we’re almost done.” At least we got a section out of it that we titled “Sex with Integers” 🥰 @anarchoautistic.bsky.social @kyleswhipple.bsky.social

Today’s “Disavowal of the Day” is how my smoked salmon contains 1% climate initiatives.

From a talk I gave last month on @taniacbcabral.bsky.social ‘s work on the politics and fascism of mathematics education.

Most of the means to achieve these wonders and also these horrors of science and technology have to do with advances in Mathematics" (Skovsmose, 1994, p. 443) Thank you Dr. Skovsmose. Rest well. cc: @amoore.net ❤️‍🩹 www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmLi...

A new article has been published “Neuroqueering Physics Literacy” By Liam G. McDermott doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

A new article has hern published: “‘Stay Silent Situation’:Using multilingual students’ own words through poetic transcription to tell their stories of introductory college mathematics education.” By Jocelyn Rios & Colleagues doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

AI is the new Thing-as-objet-a. So, I doubt this failure of it will even register with anyone; in effect, “it just has to be tweaked, but we should still pour our subjectivity into it.” – I became totally fed up this semester and laid down my own Law with my students.

The whole Trump and TikTok thing is just so he can immediately be “everyone’s savior” or the “economic savior for the ‘working class’ viz. influencer economy.” (the latter of which isn’t the proletariat)

Writing a paper on #fascism and “feared identities” with @anarchoautistic.bsky.social and @kyleswhipple.bsky.social is helping me get a lot of my frustration out this month.

Fascist consolidation in 2025 necessitates a #Trotskyist orientation going forward. At least this is what I’ve surmised in the US context. I doubt we will turn towards it. And it is a strange/complicated feeling for me to avow this.

Fredric Jameson on the importance of international education on the development of Philosophy as a field people wanted to study, before it was "reconquered" by "professional philosophy"...

Both of these examples are textbook cases in disavowal. #zizek #zupancic

Apple intelligence summarized a few texts I sent to my husband. 🤣🤣🤣

Im a white American. Im in Peru. At an Italian restaurant. I am speaking only Spanish w/ waiter. The Brazilians next to me are speaking English w/ waiter. Makes me think about my people’s role. And the French company who owns the bathrooms at Machu Picchu makes $1M USD per year off the toilets

2025 slogan. “Much to dream, much to do.”

Does a large language model have a phallus? A long thread on Lacanian perspective on the large language models.

Read it.

Recently took a peek at Twitter and the disinformation is getting substantially more dangerous. Someone could get killed. The tactics of constantly repeating outright lies, targeting specific people, repurposing years-old footage and presenting them as new is getting to another level. It’s scary.

Five of my all time favorite activities 😍

so because of “ideology reasons” I hope all researchers finally will admit (going forward after the election) that research is political ESPECIALLY IF IT’S “SCIENTIFIC”… great job to the authors for being brave enough to say this stuff

imagine a country so furious about drag performers that it voted for polio

I couldn't find much on Bsky so I created an embryonic starter pack for #Poststructuralism, #CriticalTheory, #postmodernism, #Postcolonial theory, #Foucault, #Deleuze, #JudithButler, #Mbembe, #SarahAhmed, #EdwardSaid, #Debord, #Baudrillard, #Althusser, #Lacan, #Lazzarato, #Zizek. go.bsky.app/2Be5f4z

How I feel in general in life … Each of these lights means something ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

“Lives do not matter (except rhetorically), or rather only some lives matter. … We are more afraid of something scaring the shit out of us then of actually dying.” #Zupančič / #Disavowal (a GREAT new book- really worth picking up and WOW what great timing for her to publish this right now…) #Lacan

In the same boat here. Very hard to concentrate these days. And yet, Capital calls and I have a paper I should be writing right now …

we need professors that are not naturals at academic writing we need professors who didn’t have perfect grades we need professors that went to community college we need professors that went to non-selective institutions we need professors that have always struggled to belong

I’m on a mission to get Gen Z to see this movie.

I swear. I love working with dedicated, humble, critical, hardworking pre-service math teachers. They inspire the shit out of me. One of the best things I get to do with my life.
