I'm thinking about this partly because of the Cornell news but also partly because of The Love Hypothesis, which is being pitched as a cute romance but is personally horrifying to read / watch as a woman in STEM. (I know the author is also a woman in STEM and honestly I don't get that at all.)

Genuinely confused by people's behaviour sometimes. Stop being inconsistent. Its incredibly frustrating.

Have you ever heard of Gabriel's Horn? It's a mathematical shape, a deceptively simple "solid of revolution" that will melt your brain. It's also one of my very favorite things of all time. Oh my yes, you'll love this: badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/a-geometri... 🧪

Gabriel’s Horn is bizarre and literally unrealistic. It’s also super cool.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

I need to generate a list of ~80 books for my university library to purchase in the next few weeks and the most obvious thing is to tell them "Brill baby, Brill." But if anyone involved with Near Eastern Studies has other ideas for difficult-to-acquire and necessary texts, holler.

At Whitechapel, up in the roof space; a small sign, nailed to one of the beams by a Master Bellfounder... 'Nothing is impossible for the man who does not have to do it himself'. I've long forgotten the story, but it's still an object from the foundry that remains in my memory!

Got a leaflet about Prop 40 that basically said “OMG IT’LL TAX YOUR ARTWORK VALUATIONS THINK OF THE PAPERWORK”… yes. Having to figure out taxes on art that requires valuation is such a ”man on the street” problem.
