At a dance class I complimented a woman on her grippy-bottomed socks. “I love the psych ward socks,” I said. And she goes “I call them Pilates socks.” And those, my friends, are the two types of people.

We Should Have Finished Reconstruction: A Brief History Of American Politics, 1865-2025
While the outcome should be clear from the plain text of the Constitution, the central project of this court and Administration, together, is to nullify the reconstruction amendments
The Supreme Court Friday agreed to decide whether President Donald Trump can unilaterally limit the constitutional right to citizenship granted to virtually every person born in the United States. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

lmao a classmate and I spent 45 minutes trying to figure out a prelim problem yesterday and we kept saying "wow this problem would be so much easier if the maps were surjective"
then we asked someone about it and indeed it was a typo

For me it’s more that solving a problem that is exactly posed to you and that someone has already solved is exactly the opposite of math research, where a significant amount of the work is figuring out what is right and if it can be proved.

Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

y'all I was approved for extra time accommodations today and it was super easy! I just lived with undiagnosed ADHD for 30 years, dropped out of school twice, suffered a lot of academic trauma, spent untold amounts on mental health treatment, and then took 16 months to fill out the paperwork!

Are we aware that money is being spent to outsource mathematical inspiration to a plagiarizing water wasting machine? Instead of giving money and water to nurture mathematics in existing communities? This is a colonizer mindset. Life has to be more important than "discovery."

It goes into that weird thing that genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism but everybody is getting trained to be such a cynical unfeeling asshole nowadays that I find the smartest people often are the “hell yeah cool song/drawing/story/video” people

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can simply choose to trust people as your default. It's a much better way to go through life than spending your time harming people so that fewer people take advantage of your trust.

So here’s the thing: I, a certified Disabled™️ Person, do not actually care if anyone fakes for an extra 20 minutes on the test. I care deeply about how the fear of that very thing puts up flaming hoops disabled people have to jump through.
Maybe listen to disabled folk on this one.

Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

anyway if anyone is wondering how actually being disabled while attending university is going, today I learned that my school has a "learning effectiveness program" that provides support for neurodiverse students and if you're accepted into the program, it costs $1700 per quarter
