Qasim Rashid, Esq.Jul 9, 2024

In the coming days I am publishing a researched deep dive of Project 2025 & its assault on:
•Public education
•Veterans benefits
•Abortion
•Climate
•Immigration
•Voting Rights
•And more…

My purpose is to take their complex legal jargon and make their threat of fascism clear for everyone to understand—and rebuke.

Excited to be launching this series of graphics today, a project a year in the making with Enable Science.

The Spotlight Science series brings together science, art, and disability, highlighting the amazing science being done by disabled scientists across the UK.

See the full set of graphics here: https://bit.ly/SpotlightSci

Spotlight Series: Celebrating disabled scientists with Enable Science

Hey, @mhayesgolding ! Look what my husband found at the library! Haven’t looked through it much yet, but wonder if it will produce done insights…

Draft of a classroom reference poster for the four main representations used in physics models. Happy to share the original Canva doc if you think it'd be useful. #ModPhys #ITeachPhysics

The anti-science movement is "organized, it’s well-financed, and it’s politically motivated. It’s doing a lot of damage to the country and to American science and scientists. And now it’s become a lethal force." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/vaccine-scientist-warns-antiscience-conspiracies-have-become-a-deadly-organized-movement/

"Thinking about buying 150 intro calculus textbooks for my high school. Any of you nerds out there have a very strong opinion about what the best book is? Looking for rigor, but also many many diagrams with intuitive geometric arguments. Also good exercises with applications!" [@ dodecahedra@twitter]

I went through this same search last year and always like a good textbook review :)

I'm also more opinionated after a year using various resources and mostly focusing on the AoPS textbook in the end.

What's everyone's favorite?

@dandersod It sounds like an abbrasive may have been used that has messed up your whiteboard finish. I like the approach this guy took to finding a solution: https://www.makerjosh.com/best-way-clean-whiteboards-9-tests/ (Spoiler: the answer is WD-40, off course. It is apparently able to restore the non-stick finish to a degree).

Wondering about the best way to clean whiteboards? So was I! I tested 9 treatments and found the best way to keep whiteboards clean.

School pictures photoshop the blue background in nowadays. Took a closer look at my new school ID. Part of my hair must have been the exact color of the white background, because it looks like I have a dyed blue stripe right in front.

A very well written story about the Calling Bullshit course I teach with @jevinwest.bsky.social at the UW.

Frustrated to see misleading information published as fact, professors Carl Bergstrom (Biology) and Jevin West (Information School) created a wildly popular UW course and book, Calling Bullshit."

I've paid a service to delete all of my Tweets from the other place; they should disappear soon. It's scary. I didn't realize how much I'd tied to those 13+ years. I don't want to lose those connections, so I think the account will stay for a bit, but my pictures will (hopefully) be not-mined for AI
