How to force yourself to do your class readings for the next day - make baked goods late at night so you're forced to stay up and you may as well read as it proofs and then bakes. I don't think this is a universal tip.

My friend telling me "stop adding more things to your plate, you don't need to do more things!!" when I consider joining a queer book club that was just announced, is the kind of correction I need in life.

A kid today asked if I knew what an iPod touch was....

Hearing "Mx. Loyola!!" various times throughout the day while walking on university campus was both disorienting(not used to being called that at uni) and heart warming.

CEO of Snuggie brand wearable blankets tells investors that people without Snuggie may one day be at a “significant coziness disadvantage” compared to those who do buy 2 Snuggies and get one free today

One of my profs this semester says his definition of N includes 0, so obviously I'm an immediate fan of him.

Never in my life did I anticipate taking another university class where I would be asked to define what a sandwich is and whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich.

Reminded every day that there’s no such thing as “unskilled” labor, only underpaid labor

Workers' struggles make workplaces better for everyone.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

I hope that I am this type of educator. Last year I had a student tell me, "You have to be a nerd to like math, but you have to be an extra special kind of nerd to care about the history of it." So I think I'm on the right path??....🤞

I post this so non nonchalantly as if I didn't have a crash out about this following a terrible nap.

I wish there were more opportunities for me to prove that I'm not a robot

Presentation went well. Lesson planning part went, meh. Need to revise. I'm really good at talking but facilitating adult learning activities is much harder. Back to the drawing board.

My outfit today got the teenager seal of approval from my sibling 💅

Shout-out to @kirstdy.bsky.social for lending me an entire binder of math history resources that were gifted to her. Truly a hero and inspiration of mine in kindness and community building.

Okay Walmart, Staples, and Best Buy....You've forced my hand and I've ordered my PowerPoint clicker from Amazon :(

BC has a grade 11 math history course!! Have any BC math educators on here taught this course? If so, what was your experience?

I'm so jealous of NYC right now.

Okay, Adam Ries, German math's Martin Luther. Important labour mathematician and educator. Love this guy.

I have to go buy my own Bluetooth PowerPoint clicker because no one has gotten me one for my past birthday or Christmas, even though I specifically asked for it because "that's boring".

List of words the Left needs to ditch if they want victory: categorical, diffeomorphism, topos, topoi, TFAE, iff, hexaflexagon, isotropic, isometric, isophoric, isosceles, equiangular, exponential, logarithmic, varphi, displaymath, trivial

One day I will adopt a dog, but why are 90% of the dogs up for adoption huskies?!? Huskies are an immediate no for me.

I can never hear the question "is a hotdog a sandwich?" without becoming irrationally annoyed.

Becoming more learned in an area and coming to realize some of the literature you started with/sparked your interest is not wholly reliable and side eyeing the authors and publisher 👀

Oh man I miss teaching math so much in this moment

Math is crazy because you'll see a letter and it just means 2.71828 for reasons that require 4 additional years of learning math to understand.

I shaved my shitty little moustache a couple weeks ago and now it's taking forever to come back. Big annoying.

Interdisciplinarity is important bc it’s good to go from feeling very smart to barely competent constantly throughout the day 😅

Me - I'm so excited to talk to this published author and professor of the niche little area that I've started working in! Them - So what is your upcoming presentation on? Me - Oh god. They're gonna think I'm an idiot. Maybe their questions will reveal that I AM an idiot.

I love not being able to breathe outside, I need to order masks.

'Elbows up' only applies in negotiating with teachers and nurses.

The funny thing to do would be replacing Colbert for Fallon on The Tonight Show.

Someone from the saskparty called me on Friday, and when I brought up the hospital closures in rural areas they blamed the universities for not allowing international doctors and the unions. Didn't go into specifics about how it's the unions faults.

I'm now a member of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics 💅

If you read four history books on the same topic, you will inevitably notice how the historians pick what makes it into their account and how they’re responding to other historians. Then you pick a favorite and begin to feel deep antipathy to the other chosen paths. Welcome. You are now an academic.

I need to draft a proposal for a PD series that I've suggested to a couple of groups who are on board....only issue is I have no idea what average costs or needs are 🙃 Time to learn I guess

Bucattini is too expensive

Whenever we see a plastic bag flying through the air my partner turns to me and asks, "do you ever feel?"

QUESTION TIME: In your opinion, what is the reason that people so adamantly hate math and what pushes them away from having even a neutral opinion of math?

Without history, math is isolated techniques abstracted from the ideas, problems, and people that developed them. Students come to think of math as a finished product, as opposed to the reality that it is an evolving field that requires and encourages argument, skepticism, and collaboration.

I added a link to my Historical Sask Education Data project in my bio. Right now its just a data and source document repository, but eventually it will be a proper website with data analysis and visualizations. github.com/saskeddata/s...

A student of mine, who has changed his opinion on AI over the past couple years, couldn't take a writing assignment home to work on it due to (legitimate) AI fears, and was venting his frustration at the time constraints for his work. He ended his rant with, "I wish AI had never been invented."

My favourite thing about drive thru is that sometimes it saves no time at all

Happy pride besties ❤️🎉 Third year at a pride parade Second year walking First year that my mom attended

One of my math teacher besties and I have made plans to work on a project together and present in two years!!!! I'm so excited!!!

Bridal shower friendship bracelets I made: -Mathemagical -The Book -Is 0 in N

My partner and I were invited to the graduation ceremony of one of our favourite schools to work at!
