Call me Tiny Tim, who did not die. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world

We finish the day's Christmas Bird Count with a list of 76 species a lot for the Midwest in the winter including 5 owl species. Finished up by having a delicious meal and a fire while listening to modest mouse

All 3 resident owls are calling from our yard this morning. A good start for our Christmas Bird Count

My daughter is 13 and listening to Nirvana. The cycle continues anew.

I want to drive a dump truck of cow manure to the Microsoft headquarters and drop it off in the lobby as a thank you. They didn't ask for it, they didn't want it, but maybe they can figure out how to get rid of it.

Another e-learning day! Not ideal but better than missing a day? Maybe?

I'm a bit concerned

We had a western tananger show up at our house in Indiana today! Crazy lost bird, hopefully it finds enough food to get though the cold snap. (And hopefully it stays for the Christmas Bird Count next weekend)

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

I'm going to bring this up every year as it still makes me giggle.

Sometimes I see something that makes me feel like I am going to turn to dust I am so old. I bought this album on one of my first dates after getting sushi with my wife. We rocked out on the hour drive back to the town we lived in from the big city of Morgantown West Virginia.

Front row center at Soul Coughing last night. An amazing show. Better than I could have imagined! Screenwriter's blues still kicks ass

Unapologetically putting Kimchi on fried eggs

Look what I got today. It really does

I just called my state senator to tell them not to redistrict in Indiana. It was way more complicated than I needed to be.

*fingers crossed so hard*

When I write my memoirs describing the luxurious lifestyle that teaching math affords you I will be sure to include a chapter on my desk chair where the bottom plywood has broken in half and has begun escaping the faux leather.

Crossed 700 species this year!

I hurt myself today To see if I still feel...

I keep thinking about making a trillion dollars as a person. That would be enough to pay 16 million math teachers even if they are like me relatively high on the salary schedule. How is that possible? I mean maybe he makes more jobs than I do but I don't think that he worth 16 million times me

The Aurora are out!

Suddenly wishing I had a Weierstrass function costume.

Birds but they get spookier each time. 🎃👻 Enter if you dare...🚪

New Aesop Rock album is out and is a good way to spend the evening. A headphone album!

Has anyone ever fixed an old vacuum pump? The chem teacher was using mine and accidentally sheared off a valve. Oil and MERCURY!? poured out of it. I don't want to try to get a new one and would love to fix it if I can. #iteachphysics, #mtbos

Every story about generative AI makes me want to shout @delhiero.bsky.social opus Virus at the computer

I was a bit distraught after the last election and feeling a bit helpless. Since then I have fallen into organizing for my local union. It is definitely helpful for my mind and my colleagues and my students. If you are feeling a bit lost consider organizing.

Bought tickets to go see soul coughing. It will either be great or terrible. I hope great!

Monumental architecture separated by 800 years. I wonder what it will look like in a further 800 years

Perhaps I've been in southern Indiana too long, I'm making squirrel broth now.

I been watching the fall warblers moving though. I have seen several of them eating persimmons. Tennessee and black throated greens. This is new to me. I thought they only ate bugs. They definitely stick their bill into the ripe fruit repeatedly and come out covered in pulp.

Does anyone have a solution to not being able to find desmos activities anymore. Over the years I have found some great ones that I have assigned. Usually I can go back and find them again in my #desmos classroom. Since amplify bought them out I cannot find any of those activities. #mtbos

I kinda want to print this out next time I have to sit through a conference session ab6AI

Watching Raiders with the kids tonight on VHS. Welcome back to 1989.

My deep red district is in the worst off category. I hate this

I'm telling the kids some of these tomorrow

This headline makes my head hurt. Is bathroom policy so imp the AG needs to get involved. Let people pee in peace.

This seems important:

This is an amazing piece. I have struggled with my a desire to not exist in the past. I'm so glad I had good friends and family instead of autocorrect to talk to. Be excellent to each other and not the machine defector.com/butlerian-ji...

Is Nature on PBS adding the song of a prairie warbler? It's about gorillas so there definitely shouldn't be one!

If a billionaire wants my grandkids to think we'll of them they should make something like this rather than destroying science

A good time and a lot of fun bird and herps at the @indianaaudubon.bsky.social hummingbird migration festival. Daughter did a great job finding salamanders and skinks to show everyone

Let me know how you feel about this new blog post. The title says it all, in my opinion. #iteachmath #BlackEduSky #EduSky

I'm a little concerned about the new amplify classroom. The desmos one was perfect! Now I have so many issues with kids not being able to sign up! Anyone else running into an issue where it tells the kids that their account is not set up completely? #mtbos #iteachmath

I'm starting to think that our state government actively hates us. What the hell is the point of this? This program does good for students everyday. This is just sticking it to students for fun. share.google/tKwdN1FOUb7p...

This is part of why I am a member of my union.

So apparently astrophysics is on the chopping block. I have an astronomy/astrophysics degree from IU. Braun is hellbent on destroying any thing that might lead to critical thinking www.forbes.com/sites/michae...
