Actually no, there are some reasonably priced ones on eBay, so maybe I just need to look a bit harder

I was already using bottled ink with my Parker (I equipped it with a reusable piston cartridge), but the TWSBI Eco looks like a reasonably priced upgrade. The only thing I have against it is the size, it's a fair bit wider than my current daily driver. Might have to go try it in a store first.

These look beautiful, but they're unfortunately well outside my price range

"It was a major honour to use her ARP 2500 synth when making Living Torch. It’s kept at the GRM in Paris, kind of just for safekeeping. It’s not really allowed to be used. But I asked, and I got special permission." Kali Malone on Eliane Radigue - Vice Versa, etc. buff.ly/Z5WCzsK

A quick look suggests that Metropolitans are pretty hard to get in the UK ;_; Thanks for the suggestion though, it's definitely something I'd like to try so I'll keep an eye out.

There are over 600 species of rays: about 35% have venomous tail barbs, like this ocellated eagle ray (Aetobatus ocellatus), the remaining 65% do not. In these species, the tail serves other functions. Let's learn about the LONG TAIL of the majestic sea flap-flaps. (📷: Rene van Tilborgh)

I've used this for a decade and my mum had used it for a while before me. It'll be fine for at least five more years, but it's developing some cracks in the barrel and cap. Effectively all the calculations I did during the PhD were written with this, so it holds a *lot* of sentimental value.

My fountain pen is beginning to show its age, so I'm looking for a replacement. I really like how it feels so I'm probably going to get another (it's a Parker vector standard), but are there others I should look at before making a decision? I want smth. with a similar weight/shape ideally.

In a way it's enlightening to see this MP objecting to the presence of a trans person on a *mixed* emergency ward where there are presumably also cis men present. An example of how trans women are often presented as being uniquely dangerous or icky and the goal is to push us out of everywhere.

I guess as objective measures of mental health go, Posting is a pretty good one. I do feel like I've been able to turn off stuff more these days which has to be a good sign

If I'm still alive after the revolution, I would like to be a desk clerk who does some named and yet nameless job deep in the bureaucracy of the regime. A neat and organised desk where every item has a purpose and place fills me with a sense of immense joy.

something I've been wondering about. when homotopy theorists compute homotopy groups of spheres, how explicit is that computation? are there known representatives for each class? if i handed them a map defined in terms of a triangulation, would they be able to compute the class of the map?

The first episode of my new podcast, Unapologetic Mathematicians, dropped today! I chat to mathematicians at Leeds, and ask them about their research, mathematical journey, and what they like to do outside of maths. New episodes will be released each week. #Mathsky #Podcast linktr.ee/Unapologetic...

My understanding of my transition at any given moment is that it's a gradual and pragmatic process. Doing what I can where I can. But in retrospect it's usually the case that something was making me miserable and I desperately needed a change.

I got the little keychain cat from someone who noticed my ace pride lanyard on the last day of a conference. The Baja is from my best friend and has sat on my desk keeping me company for about five years

Brought these two back from the office :3

Very cute visualisation I found on Tumblr www.tumblr.com/kneadingmath...
Alt text from IMG source

An illustration of the notion of "security cylinders", followed by a short text description of it. The illustration shows a glass cylinder englobing a curve, with three cats inspecting it, and safety barriers. The text introduces the notion of vector field, differential equation and solution, before introducing the notion of security cylinder. A security cylinder is the product of a time interval and a ball in space, chosen so that any solution passing through its center can only leave the cylinder by running out of time, not out of space.

Can one do "algebraic geometry" over a monoid in place of the coordinate ring? That is, suppose I have a commutative monoid. Is there a coherent (in the informal sense) notion of Zariski topology? Do prime ideals work how I would hope they do based on CRing? Or similar. #MathSky

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
