Just read a Foucault essay and the last line is: “There you are, all wrapped up and loose ends tied.” I think I’m going to end all my talks this way.

In 1922, a psychologist set out to explain how a child learns to add. You'd expect a story about understanding. It wasn't. It was an inventory. New issue of Beyond the Standard 🧵

A question I keep sitting with: When we say a student is “not ready” for algebra — whose decision are we actually reporting, and how far back was it made? Curious where this lands for the teachers and parents reading. #mathed

In 1942 someone proposed a dual math curriculum—rigorous track for future engineers, consumer arithmetic for everyone else—and called it “Mathematics for All.” That same phrase becomes equity reform’s rallying cry by 1989. Same words. Opposite machinery. #MathEd #EducationEquity #BlackEducation

Talking about intelligence next week in my race science seminar. Came across this jem in my reading: “If IQ tests do not measure intrinsic intelligence as is claimed, then clearly it is better to be born rich than smart.” (Lewontin et al). Well…

the whole concept of "white genocide" is very funny because unlike a regular genocide where people try to butcher you with machetes or gas your family in white genocide your cousin marries an Indian guy

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Paul Robeson calls us all to decide what we stand for: “Every artist, every scientist, must decide NOW where he stands….The artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative.

Today I Made it to the proofs stage with a paper that I submitted ages ago. It’s (not) so funny how journals will take 4048595 years to get back to you when you submit a manuscript but want proofs back in 15 minutes. #AcademicSky

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

“How we as a culture reckon with that moving forward is yet to be determined.” This is the thing. I’m not confident that the culture has the will to hold the line on Diddy when it has refused to do so with so many others.

I’m having a hard time holding my tongue watching colleagues who have consistently argued for why race has no relevance in their research & explicitly asked me how to make race “disappear” are using the fact the Black PIs have lost their research grants disproportionately as past of their campaign.

In a writing workshop a couple years ago, I learned to reframe my writing speed from “slow” to “deliberate.” Pretty significant shift for me and it remains a struggle not to punish myself for taking so much time. #AcademicSky
