Hmmm, where could that one 🦉 loss come from???? 🌹🌹🌹

Gonna be honest, I liked it better when things were less bad.

Next week is already spring break and also my college wants me to get my travel funding request for summer conferences in soon and...I can't keep up with the progression of time this semester. It has somehow only been 42 days since January 20, and also it has been 8 years at the same time.

New court, new game 🏀 We’re thrilled to announce that Serena Williams – legendary tennis pro – has joined the team as the newest owner of the Toronto Tempo.

In the whole pile of junk in here, love* that the "real communities" are just "sports people, gun enthusiasts, and Christians" and not "librarians, teachers, and nurses" or any other combination of characteristics. Very strong signal, message received, Dems. * 100% hate

techbros think their ability to solve finicky technical puzzles means they should be kings of all creation and that disgusts me as a guy who solves finicky technical puzzles

Rhyne and Dearica what a first half! #unrivaled

I switched my undergrad major to math after having a long conversation with my philosophy professor where they pushed back on my mentality of picking a major based on career. It was half an hour of "if you hate it, don't study it" and "sure but what do you *like* learning about?" before I got it.

Replacing a bunch of interactive things with a new version created in doenet.org. They look so good!!!!

Rhyne Howard is everywhere right now and she's so much fun to watch when she's on like this

Zelenskyy is what courage looks like in these times. This is what it is to resist Donald Trump. Trump has no place as part of the next G7 meeting in Canada.

I'm trying not to be pompous and rude but my college is trying to set me up with a copyeditor and (1) they want to use someone from Marketing 🙄 who (2) told me that the I just need to send them my "Word file" so they can get started. A Microsoft Word file. For a math textbook. Struggling to be kind.

The source of my Friday morning "let's gooooo!"

Honestly, extremely rude that my code that didn't compile correctly last night still won't compile correctly this morning, smh what do you want from me?

The smartest thing I did this semester was asking students to report what they're proud of in their weekly practice problem reflections. I *think* that it's been helpful for students to include this among their other questions of things they're stuck on, but it *certainly* helpful for me to read!

Just some amazing signs up in a congressional office building. Whoever did this… hero(es).

A teacher at my last job complained about not having accommodations for himself and I'm like YES ✊🏿 and then he went on to say that there are no accommodations in real life so students shouldn't get them 🤡
