He/Him/His. Physics & Math teacher out in Western Mass. You'll also likely be subject to me regularly bringing up social justice-related things, music, and probably the Celtics. Oh and bread.

Having no ceiling is intrinsically incompatible with having a strong floor and these idiots can't see that. Strong floor? The sociopaths will continue hoarding the world's resources until many of us are under the floorboards, are literally underground. Foh

At my parents' and the Portuguese news is examining videos/stories from the Internet and confirming whether they're real or AI

A student asked for my IG so I wrote down

B3$T_FysiCi$T

"Actually?"
"Yeah, I was younger when I made it"

How do they still believe anything I tell them!?

I wish I was better at delivering sub-par work instead of spending so much time working on but then not delivering on my slightly better work

Being an adult is being psyched that a weird last minute change in the school schedule this week just makes it so you can get your car inspected during the week *and* they do it in like ten minutes. #winning

Saw someone say Republicans exploit the fact that Democrats (usually) actually want to help people, and that felt to me a bit like how administrators exploit the fact that faculty (usually) actually want to help students

Is there something as seamless as Imgur where I can take a screenshot and paste it from my clipboard without actually having to *upload* an image? For like one-off things where I don't care what happens to it after a week. Want something that's not like associated w Reddit and the like

I feel like getting a taste of stuff like this would scratch an itch for some students, using their math (with the help of computation) to do good.

@chrisbecke.bsky.social Think I'm going to have my Intro to Physical Science students estimate the ISS speed with some of your transit photos

TIL @adamserwer.bsky.social not only went to Vassar but turns out I likely overlapped with him? 👋

How does your school honor Transgender Awareness Week? (Feels weird to say celebrate given it culminates in Day of Rememberance)

Media literacy with Freya
I think it's really interesting how the visual language of video is changing over time. it's a very specific choice to have this shot handheld in a hallway while walking

like, they could've shot this with a tripod at his desk, but, that's not the right vibe for the current era
Tonight was a very bad night.
