This is the same university that rescinded a res life job offer to me when I was a grad student after they found out I was gay and partnered.

I have successfully found a new project to distract me from my upcoming deadlines.

Annnd here's still another one. AI/LLMs taking over the Joint Mathematics Meetings.

Here's another one. 50% of individuals newly elected to Society for Industiral and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) leadership work for the government while merely 4% of employed PhD-holding mathematicians do so.

Shopping? Need a gift idea? I'm humbly offering an idea: preorder my book Unlocking Justice, a broadly accessible + nontechnical read about how data can fight racial injustice in the criminal legal system. It's educational and optimistic. Amazon link below, other options in the comments. Plz share.

Thanksgiving is a sham. A sham with yams. It's a yam sham.

I am lucky because as an adult, Thanksgiving with my built/chosen family is joyous. But there was a time in my life when the holidays felt lonely and impossible. If you are having a rough go today and need human contact on here, chime in or DM me.

Wow. This made my day x1000.
Finally did more than thinking about pre-ordering @chadtopaz.bsky.social's "Unlocking Justice." Double bonus that my favorite local bookstore, @ravenbookstore.bsky.social, had it in their search. Triple bonus that it will likely be a post-birthday surprise to future-me when I get the pickup call.

Trump pardons turkeys ahead of Thanksgiving
Sparing a bird ahead of the holiday is a time-honoured US presidential tradition.

Wrong Turn 3 is a thought-provoking and hauntingly beautiful meditation on crime, punishment, and repressed homosexuality. It forces us to ask: do three wrong turns make a right?

I got rid of Gmail when Google rolled back all their civil rights / DEI efforts and reading this below makes me even happier I did. You can do it too.
If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.
