Dogs do it
Even educated hogs do it

Let's sleep most of the day

I want to tell you the story of Vivienne Malone-Mayes, Texas-born mathemetician and professor, but I don't think you can understand her journey without talking about the #AcademicRacism in which she existed.

Am I scared to apply to teaching positions because teaching stresses me out, or because I'm scared I won't be good enough?

We at SGMA are heartbroken by the events in Colorado Springs. We mourn the senseless loss of members of our #LGBTQIA+ family. We deserve to feel safe, especially in the spaces we create to build community. We know how much incidents like this affect our members since they affect us as well.

This week was tough, but when I woke up this morning I did have a little kitty with me.

Yesterday I submitted another application, so today I spent all afternoon doing code debugging with our undergrad.

Around 4 p.m. he said, "I'm sorry for taking all your time!" and I was like, "No no, this is a little treat for me. Please just give me more code problems to solve."

I think much of my issue around the Content Warning culture on Mastodon, is the vocabulary. "Content Warning" has a very specific meaning in other contexts. Here, it is more like "Content Filter" or "Subject Line," to give readers a choice to expand or not.

This feels wrong, because of other contexts where majority folks have tried to express trauma or pain at even having to hear about the racism that impacted me. Feels very much like "Ban teaching civil rights, so white kids don't feel bad."
