Friends who have cats, what’s something you wish you knew before you adopted one? (Assume that nothing is too obvious)

Is there a math term for the following: I have a 2-tuple of positive integers (m,n). I want to find all solutions to Sum_{i,j\in Z^+} a_ij (i,j) = (m,n) So basically I want 2-partitions in some sense

rip pope francis - i will never forget that one time the pope and I waved at each other

Is your bookshelf A) Ornamental B) Aspirational C) Honest D) Non-existent E) A secret 5th thing

So people here who actually rock climb for real, is climbing down the same route you went up a really terrible idea in bouldering? I feel it tires me out so much more than climbing up, which I don’t understand why since theoretically it’s the same moves just in reverse

It’s that time of the semester (Reader, it’s ALWAYS that time of the semester)

#mathtwitter please brag about your office space/best office related purchase/ your favourite quirky thing in your office- help a girl build a faux-Pinterest board

If you postponed the new year to march like me this is a reminder that it’s coming up soon. This is the time to be setting goals for the rest of the year!

I have decided that I really like living in Toronto - only took close to 2 years but we are here now and we will take what we get 😂

✨Good things are happening!✨

i miss the private accounts of twitter era when I could ask for advice without revealing my innermost thoughts to the general public

Richard Gilmore treated Dean the exact same way Huntzbergers treat Rory

After 3 years as a rotator at NSF, i became permanent last august (and suddenly on probation despite years of good work). I quit my academic job in January. Today i was unceremoniously fired for “poor performance” (a lie) along with 167 other amazing folks (like Courtney). So unfair & insulting.

My friend @mathyadriana.bsky.social lost her job last week, and I want you to know the story: buttondown.com/yarntheory/a...

One was when I spoke about pedagogy in the Cornell math department seven-ish years ago. Bizarre exchanges with math profs who (a) complained that no education research is trustworthy and mathematicians should do it themselves, and then (b) expressed negative interest in doing it themselves.

Reading week is truly a gift from God

I am generally not a nap person (I have a hard time waking up from them!) but some days you take one and you feel it physically reset your body back to the day it was born - it’s like a restart game from 0 button. So short lived but so glorious

Harrison Ford gets us better than anyone!

Several years ago, my office-mate and I were talking about professional websites and it came up that mine had an address of our office on it and he didn’t. His argument was that people only need your email, it’s not like they’re gonna send a postcard! Anyway we both ended up putting the address to

Watched @kumail.bsky.social live and literally every single thing that came out of his mouth was hilarious I laughed and cried and laughed again - so good!!!

Why would you make your narrator unreliable. I trusted you and purchased this book and this is how you repay me

RIP my combinatorial friends at NSA using inclusion-exclusion

I went bouldering for the first? time yesterday and suffice it to say I am about to become someone who is really fucking annoying lol

Unfriendly reminder that every news organisation that is too cowardly to state openly that Trump's plans are ethnic cleansing, is complicit

how's everyone doing this fine Friday

AITA should make AIAF where people say how they responded to a fascist directive and find out if they are a fascist.

I think pushing a whole new type of technology so hard it is basically unavoidable should count as experimenting on people without consent.

All of us need to be asleep and none of us is.

they should invent unprecedented times that are good

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

Can't imagine the youth will be too bummed about their high energy video app being banned when they can just log onto blue sky and read sentences written by elder millennials

In academia we don’t say “I love you” we say “I will add you to my calendar” and it’s the same thing 😅

4. What is the best advice you ever received, but you didn't understand the value of until years later?

I regret not buying lots of Seattle Chocolate when I had the chance

Me everyday at #JMM2025

I’m giving a talk in an hour at #JMM2025 come watch!

This is my first JMM and I have to say, this conference is FOMO central

I appreciate the attempt #JMM2025, but this isn’t how to create an inclusive bathroom

Avoiding jetlag feels like such an accomplishment when all I did was sleep a lot lol

Today is the day algebra qualifying exam committees all over the country try to write a good problem about groups of order 2025.

Wait, another year? We’re still doing this?

I’m in a little bit of denial about this whole 2025 business tbh

Every week has a weekend before the next week but we've just been going directly from one year to the next why?! We deserve a yearend off.

Just saw a video that said the perp walk was like taking Katniss Everdeen and turning her into the mockingjay and I'm mostly pointing this out because until now most of the references I've seen have been grounded in superhero analogies and not dystopian fiction geared towards young women

Reincarnation is just mastery grading

Today on lyrics that touched my heart: Up a steep and very narrow stairway To the voice like a metronome Up a steep and very narrow stairway It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... It wasn't paradise... But it was home 🥺😍

Can’t stand having a partner who is very offline. What do you mean you “don’t understand what it means to hold space for the lyrics of defying gravity”?
