Me reading the terrible notation in the math paper I’m writing…

Rainbow bagels for breakfast! I got the funfetti cream cheese but @misswooo.bsky.social didn’t because “that’s just frosting.”

Lifted the projector screen in class to find this happy little one. It brought my students joy right before their exam and I thought you all might need to see it too.

I just started the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett and this quote hit me like a ton of bricks. I’m so proud of my hometown of Minneapolis for resisting such a force.

"Let the other societies take the skilled, the hopefuls, the ambitious, the self-confident.
He'd take the whining resentful ones, the ones with a bellyful of spite and bile, the ones who knew they could make it big if only they'd been given the chance. Give him the ones in which the floods of venom and vindictiveness were dammed up behind thin walls of ineptitude and lowgrade paranoia.
And stupidity, too."

-Terry Pratchett (Guards! Guards!)

This huge bin showed up in the Math Department?!?! In related news, I suddenly need to cancel all my meetings today.

A large tub of plastic geometric tiles in various colors for learning mathematics.
