sure would be nice if people called out anti-trans propaganda about our health care in this way, instead of calling it “culture wars”

I also want to keep repeating that ibuprofen/Advil is not indicated after the 20th week of pregnancy and generally discouraged during pregnancy, and that IS supported by science. I’m so scared people will hear this crap about acetaminophen/Tylenol and then do something actually dangerous instead 😭

Cat immediately lost/got rid of his flea collar 😭 but at least he likes his toy

Well, dang. Our usual musicians just told us something's come up. Baltimore Bluesky, do you know a jazz trio type band who might like to play our event?

Portugal announces it has officially recognized the State of Palestine

@balint.house.gov I hope you listen to your colleague, and her articulation of the harm your vote did, to people who are actually on your side!!!

Cat is a bit upset with us for putting on a flea collar, but hopefully the food will help him forgive us

I saw someone one twitter ask why white people see themselves in the slave owners and not John brown.

there’s a lot of talk about big tech and corporations but so many international academic colleagues are also on H1Bs. no university is going to pay 100k extra a year to keep them. if this holds, it would essentially mean the end of foreigners on tenure track jobs at US universities.

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

The suffering in Gaza goes beyond the tragic loss of life inherent to war; at this point, the Netanyahu government’s actions appear to be a systematic, intentional destruction of the Palestinian people.

Looking for a job? Know someone who is? TPSE has a half-time admin spot open. It's fully remote, pretty flexible, includes BENEFITS - and you'd get to work with a fun bunch of math people. Circulate widely - esp. to any of the 100's of dedicated former fed workers. www.indeed.com/job/administ...

Did not find a scratching post or flea collar at the Carrefour but they did have food!

Husband spoke to a neighbor and the cat was left behind when someone left our housing complex recently 😭😭 So now we have cat food, flea treatments and a scratching post on our shopping list

Replacing "transgender is like ferrari" with "transgender is like microwave" from now on after this great bit

Begins in five hours! #MathSky

Today we closed the door so the cat couldn’t come in but he came in through the window. So we had to close the window 😭

Hi friends! Things are really tight. I had to graduate from a manual chair with power assist to a fully powered chair due to my illness, which means my beloved Colours chair needs to find a new home. It’s powered by the Yamaha NaviOne system, which is fabulous. Please share.

Cat came back and let itself in the house

In which I beg archaeologists to sign up for the fall semester of Skype a Scientist, because we're getting buried in requests for your area of expertise. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Our Grand Opening continues on Monday as @oscarlevin.com shows us how PreTeXtBook.org can help authors create accessible and interactive scholarly documents. Join us Sep 15 at 9am Eastern. preview.scholarlattice.org/collections/...

It’s not considered political violence to dehumanize people until they’re so ostracized by society that they take their own lives. It’s not considered political violence to make policy choices to intentionally kill people by depriving them of life saving healthcare.

If we were late for school because a cute cat showed up at our door and wanted pets, that’s excused, right?

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

I gotta say it’s so fun to be on Australian/Aotearoan BSky

If you like audiobooks I cannot recommend @libro.fm enough for a non Audible option! 📖

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

@amateurcrastinator.com have you seen this?

I’ve just realized that in addition to not reading cursive, my (American-educated) second grader might not even recognize that here they write 1, sometimes 7, and 9 differently. He must be so confused 😭

This is a settlement in South Sudan that was originally built to shelter a few thousand people. It now houses more than 20,000 people. Needless to say, there are food, water, and healthcare shortages, as well insufficient toilets and tents. If you can help at all it will make a huge difference 🙏🏻

Here is Erisa today at the Gorom refugee settlement. Please share the fundraiser so I can send him more support (in addition to what I have sent personally) www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-er...

They are finally teaching my child proper math (numbers start at 0)

Happening in 6 short hours!! #MathSky Zoom links on Scholar Lattice (link in enclosed post), no need to register in advance 🤩

UNLIMITED VELOCITY

Tahiti is so small lol. We know like five people on the island and randomly saw one of them while out and about tonight. (We were out to see a big boat!)

@leftistlawyer.com?

Then in the afternoon (3pm Eastern), Jeremy Avigad will share an update on the newest NSF Institute for Computer-Aided Reasoning in Mathematics (ICARM), dedicated to empowering mathematicians to take advantage of new technologies for mathematical reasoning.

Hey Portland peeps. Our sitter fell through and I have two (maybe three) free tickets to **Inebria me** tonight, an experimental opera by San Cha, 8pm at the Winningstad Theatre. Let me know if you'd like them! pica.org/events/inebr...

I finally proved it 😭🙌🏻

#MathSky Tell your friends!! 🤗

Our final Sep 8 presentation will follow: Deyan Ginev will show us the future of accessible research papers written in LaTeX, based upon the work he's doing for arXiv.org!

Tylenol is the only OTC painkiller you can take during pregnancy 😭😭

Oh my god, Trump actually got the NRA to come out to defend trans people owning a gun.
