It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

I love "Duck-Typing" in #Python. If something walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it /is/ a duck.

Hi you don’t have to post it. And you don’t have to re-post it. And you can think about the fact that Jewish people are gonna be traumatized every single time you make us see it over and over and over and over. You can just not post it.

Happy #Caturday! Another week where I didn't have time for cat theory, but we're going need to take a lot of cat naps to make it through 2025!

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! Regrettably, I couldn't find sufficient time for progress this week so things are being put on "paws" for a bit. Instead, I spent some time reflecting on the past 90 weeks of #cats and #math. rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

I feel like recently I've been catching myself engaging in self-directed ableism. I set unrealistically high expectations, actively deny myself accommodations, then push myself unnecessarily hard to meet them anyway. If I can't provide myself a safe space, how can I possibly do so for others?

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! This week in #math, I attempt to obtain new insights by implementing a #python class for small pointed sets. The #cats are glad to be home too and Edward is back on patrol for the itty bitty neighborhood watch cat-mittee! rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

I'm truly hoping for the best in 2025, but I'll never shake this feeling that the year could have been an even better one had we factored out the 2nd power of 45

Happy New Year! I'm excited to be kicking off 2025 with a bit of an occupational experiment. It's something that I never imagined myself doing, but then I tried it and found myself enjoying it. Now I'm curious to see where it goes. Tonight may be "sink or swim", so channel your inner Valya for me!

I don't do introduction posts bc I'm a committed introvert and ice-maintainer. But for anyone bored who doesn't know me, Here is my claim to fame, or rather my clinamy to infamy I wrote this in 2017

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! For #math this week, I drew out some products and sums to get my bearings in the category of pointed sets. The #cats also did some exploring this week, so here's Alphonse surveying holiday festivities from a safe distance. rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! In #math this week, I read through Session 28 in L&S and tried to review my work on the exercises it mentioned from Article IV. The #cats are taking things slow also. Here is Edward having fallen asleep watching Cat TV: rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! This week in #math, I finally finished up L&S Session 27. There's a lot I don't understand still, but moving on seems like the course to take. Meanwhile, the #cats enjoyed a little kitty couch party -- but with some personal space. rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

Sorry I didn't get around to making a problem of the week, but I'm going to stream for a bit tonight anyway! Join me to watch some #GGST and/or #math help on #twitch at https:/twitch.tv/suburbanlion

Fun Ben Orlin shenanigans with the OEIS mathwithbaddrawings.com/2024/12/09/p...

It's #CategoryTheory #Caturday! Time for more #math and #cats! Everybody is glad to be home! Alphonse definitely missed his heated blanket! I managed to make it through "part" of an exercise in L&S and brainstormed some ideas on how to keep moving forward. rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

Why do 🥰math🥰?? 0. i do not know why anyone does anything, but 1. Math is a very human and playful endeavor 2. Math is artistic 3. Math can be a tool for good 4. Math is already being wielded for evil

I regret to inform you that, as of today, I'm no longer offering paid #tutoring services. I do plan to continue to stream #GGST on #Twitch and provide free #math help through chat-- but for fun rather than profit! Maybe some other #TTVTutor will more successful? suburbanlion.com/blog/2024/12...

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! This week in #math, I tried to make headway on the last exercise in L&S Session 27 by exploring simple examples. The #cats came with us for the holiday. They were scared at first, but soon learned the bed at grandma's is comfy! rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! This week in #math I started to explore the dual notion to an equalizer while the #cats found a harmonious co-solution to napping in the papasan. The kitty yin-yang makes for a exceptionally cute epimorphism, wouldn't you agree? rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

It's Free #Tutoring Tuesday on #Twitch! I'll be hanging out playing #GGST and/or providing #math help through chat from 6:30pm-10 (ET) at www.twitch.tv/suburbanlion

where my #mathstodon people at?

awww yeah! custom domain!

i've gotta say, this notion of "starter packs" is pretty cool.

You will know, despite it not being in my handle any more, that Math(s) is my homeland. So I've made this starter pack of excellent math(s) communicators in case you'd like to follow them too. go.bsky.app/8JvssAA

Happy #CategoryTheory #Caturday! This week in #math, I continue through L&S Session 27 and felt like I confirmed an answer I was a little unsure about previously. The #cats had a great checkup at the vet and Alphonse is ready to pounce on some new social networks! rruff82.github.io/LS-Categorie...

Greetings #Bluesky! As a bit of an #introduction, my name is Ryan and I consider myself a "recreational mathematician". I enjoy exploring about how #math applies to all sorts of games and arts. You can also find me on the other socials networks as listed here: suburbanlion.com/socials/
