Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

I don’t know why but I think it’s funny there is exactly one (1) senate member progressives.house.gov/caucus-members

Hey peeps, one of my soccer teammates needs me to write him a character reference letter (the government is trying to deport him and he’s a solid dude who doesn’t deserve any of this), any immigration lawyers here with recommendations on the best way to go about that?

So I guess this is necessary again since a Nazi just dropped disgusting images in my mentions. Here’s a list of literal self-avowed fascists. You can subscribe to it to mute or block them bsky.app/profile/did:...

“After installing <software> you can simply launch it” Ok but what if I don’t know where to click to do that???

TFW you finally see again the cute stray dog that usually stays by the grocery store and that you hadn’t seen yet so you were worried 😅🐶

Me: how can someone lose their SHOES at school?? Me a few weeks later, after looking for child’s shoes everywhere: ohmigod the shoes are in the lost and found at school!!

Hey #MathSky, we just created a @code4math.org calendar which you can use to connect with us virtually or in person! This spring we will host a weekly open community office hour on Tuesdays! Visit us at code4math.org/events to learn more or add our calendar to your own!

Yay, the country where I’m spending my sabbatical and the country I grew up are sending troops to defend against a potential attack from the country I usually live in 🤗

We are so excited this is happening! Ask me any questions, #TCSSky #MathSky! Also, we are looking for a couple more project leaders, so if you want to know more about what that involves, please get in touch.

#MathSky It is now 3 weeks until the AWM/MfA Essay Contest deadline! Students can still find someone in a math career whose gender is underrepresented in math, interview them, and write an essay based on that interview! See below for contest rules:

This is completely besides the point of the enclosed but note the devastating and hilarious insult, without using any ableist language. If you need to rely on slurs to make your point, it’s frankly a skill issue

Of course a strange maze would terrify a mouse that has only ever known a shoebox. But what of a mouse that has explored a vast field, ran from the spatter of raindrops, felt the warmth of the sun and the chill of night, and dug into the living soil of the Earth? defector.com/what-a-week-...

For comparison, there were around 250 players chosen in the 2025 NFL draft, and roughly 60 players chosen in the NBA draft

We've lost funding because of our principled opposition to KOSA and other censorship bills. We've lost funding because of our solidarity with Palestine and opposition to tech-enabled genocide. We've lost funding because foundations are scared of Trump. We need you❤️ www.fightforthefuture.org/2026

If you have children you should not be posting pictures of them online, unfortunately

Proud to present this pictorial thread of Jamelle Bouie insulting you #1: You're a dumbass

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

For many many wp, getting the ally label IS the endgoal. Bc then they can say they aren’t racist and use that ally label to bolster that claim. For many many wp, it isn’t about eradicating racism, destroying the systems of racism and rebuilding in the name of equity and equality. +

OK HELP: One part of my proposal is actually just 3 tentative research ideas. The other two parts are more definite. Do I pitch these 3 tentative ideas that I can't decide between yet, or do I just arbitrarily pick one (and decide on something else if i get the fellowship)???

It's annoying to see the hand-wringing over a small number of wealthy people making empty threats to move because of tax increases, when there are actually people leaving desirable places en masse because they can't find affordable places to live

Noticing which national Dems use alt text (Kamala Harris) and which don’t (Obama, Hillary Clinton) in their Christmas wish skeets

MTA will literally install new expensive fare gates to raise revenue when instead they could be selling stickers. skill issue tbh bsky.app/profile/mays...

He just sits next to me in a chair I love him so much 😭😻

Recycling glass here is so satisfying. There’s a giant container with a small hole at the top, and you get to put in your bottles one by one and hear them crash and explode at the bottom of the container on the pile of the rest of the glass. Saving my glass for frustrating days from now on.

obsessed with the chorus of professors shouting in unison that due to budget cuts there is no faculty lounge lol. should have been obvious in retrospect but it had never occurred to me!

Ding ding ding ding ding! The last sentence is the problem. For a few more years we’ll have an American scientific establishment that knows what the gold standard of peer review should look like. But over time, if this isn’t rectified, the NSF will become ripe for capture by politicians.

Finally!!! I pushed through lots of pain to finish her. Really need to sell her quickly, & for as much $ as I can possibly get… definitely wanting at least $1500 as she’s very big. 78.5cm x 70cm. Please share widely, I would greatly appreciate the help. #CrossStitch #Kikorangi #nzpol

This is the @mathandcobb.bsky.social way and I admire him for it. I even made a TikTok account to follow him there. I wish I was even one tenth as good as he is at making videos (or even one tenth as good at writing posts as he is at making videos, honestly that would already be cool).

The world is going to shit and technology is getting worse, but today instead of having to CALL a PERSON on the PHONE, I was able to chat with them online and I think that’s beautiful

After many years, I have finally accepted that the Lego sets are for me to build and have accordingly bought myself sets *I* want for Christmas instead of buying Minecraft or Star Wars sets “for the kid” #growth 🌱

I love how much I enjoyed this 😂

You can help your local bookstore by buying the audiobook on @libro.fm or the ebook on @bookshop.org 🏒

Immediately purchasing the whole series

The NSF building was so good 😭😭😭 and pretty new and organized exactly for what they needed. It’s a huge waste of money to move them out.

Important cat update: Despite what we were told by neighbors, this cat does belong to people who live here! He just goes around house to house begging for food and pets 😂 His name is Comète and this week we are officially cat sitting him…

I never really thought about it, but I guess we say “the cat is out of the bag” because the cat was **in** the bag 🤔 (these are all taken on different days)

Really beautiful, especially the American national anthem which often sounds terrible www.nhl.com/canadiens/vi...

Content note: ableist language in enclosed post One thing I didn’t realize before coming here is that LOTS of flight itineraries go through the US. So many French mathematicians can’t come to Tahiti (which is part of France!) because they can’t get an ESTA for their layover…

In one of my mom groups there was a huge discussion about people no longer being able to afford health insurance in 2026, and how they would now not be able to be vaccinated for flu or COVID and have to refuse swabs for them since they are so expensive so uh… next year is not going to look great…
