Sorry, they were talking about the Mystics, but you know who can blame me for mixing this up, there are a LOT of teams that have benefitted from this policy of the Sky

Chicago Sky fans catching strays on the ESPN broadcast, talking about the Dream having a great future because "the Chicago Sky have been, uh, generous with their first round picks" 😭

"No ethical consumption under capitalism" but also like, you could TRY! Nobody is forcing you to be on Substack or X or to write an opinion column for the NYT

I don't think a fan and player getting into it is something to be giddy about, and it's not "tea," and it's really gross to frame it this way

USA halftime show hyping up the Aces/Fever matchup by talking about the ~spicy fan incident~ is really gross, like obviously so?

Two hairy woodpeckers! We see downy ones a lot, so I was pumped to see some hairys! Also, I love the thing I saw that was like "any time I see a bird and think woah that's wild what is that, it's a northern flicker"

Trying to mow my lawn but there's a pair of woodpeckers eating at my feeder so I can't start the mower up. Gotta wait until they're done

We need at least 5 games in the first round, if only to see how many "too small"s these teams can give each other

I left several copies of this little zine I made in my classroom at the start of the year. They are all gone now and no one has said anything but I am pleased.

No ethical choices under capitalism, sure, but there are worse choices than others. Some are doing active harm.

Sadly, no! I just use the pens that are in the department supply closet (uniball vision micro). They're fine. I have messed with the micron brand pens, which I like for writing in my notebook, but not for grading.

(I am going to ask about tinkering with my sertraline dosage because it feels like it's not as impactful as it used to be, but the propranolol has been great for on-the-spot panic attack stuff!)

Oh wow the medication that I have specifically for reducing anxiety and easing my distress has eased a little bit of my distress and reduced a bit of my anxiety today. Weird.

Thanks so much!!! We finally nailed a broth with this one! Coconut milk and lemongrass and shallots and stock and it's pretty perfect for our tastes

This semester, it has mostly been used by students to say something like, "Please comment on how well I'm communicating these ideas" and I just think it's very cool to have a semester where students are intentional about their communication and clarity instead of just their calculations.

Peter Keep @mathprofpeter.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
A while back I started putting an empty box on the first page of graded assignments that says "What would you like feedback on?" I always give feedback, but it's helpful when students have something specific they want comments about.

My position on ed tech is becoming more and more aggressive. Stop trusting these companies to handle our educational data! They consistently fail to meet basic standards of privacy for students! We're way too quick to just turn over our data to these vultures.

A lawsuit has been filed against Padlet, alleging they share student data in real time to 160+ third parties (including data brokers, Meta, and Google). Padlet is heavily used in K-12 as well as higher education with students who have no choice. Read the complaint: drive.google.com/file/d/1OGPe...
