whatever it takes so that i am never again compelled to watch “love actually”

this should have 1000s of reposts

love that record

that thread put a pit in my stomach but in my experience as a HS teacher i find things much more ambivalent. attentional skills are down, reading is down, but the kids are still smart and resilient and hardworking. i have concern oc but not despair

oh duh and kiarostami’s koker films

i’ve got to read these

indelible. i was the only clevelander in an oakland bar. was trying to be chill and inconspicuous but these last minutes elicited a few involuntary yells from me

relatedly, they should print apostol’s calculus books again. not trying to drop $300 on the used two volume set, and i don’t love working from pdfs

i get why, the AP curriculum is all about application, but it’s a treat to experience a rigorous treatment of calculus that doesn’t aim for the deep abstraction of an analysis course

very different approach to the theory and technique of calculus! it is strange how small a role any theory of integration has in the AP curriculum, how little one has to actually work with sums

i have you to blame though!
