math PhD. no longer identify as a mathematician. I do improv, write, and perform spoken word. be my friend or thought partner, won’t you?

not famous. no more sameness. beneath bluesky and cozy blankets. I feel creative and I look nice naked.
Take a moment to appreciate the gentle #awkwardness in not knowing the name of an acquaintance at a social function but still finding the audacity to make a wildly inaccurate guess. It says so much about the guesser.

Me last night, “It’s Lindsay right?” Hannah, “No.”

I described a #book to a friend like, “So the guy was telling me…” as if the author and I are bffs texting each other, exchanging hot goss and spilling tea and whatnot. #reading #imaginaryFriends

Petitions like this strike me as somewhat annoying and/or futile. But what else is there to do? Just throw shit at the wall on the off chance something sticks. The petition currently has 138k signatures. sign.moveon.org/petitions/un...
Tell Congress: Unmask ICE!
Add your name to the petition demanding Congress pass legislation requiring all immigration agents to clearly display their agency and name or badge number—just like other local law enforcement are re...

Police chief O’Hara has latent hero DNA. I can feel it in this interview. ICE does not care about blue lives.

At some point #nerd stopped meaning “person who studies hard things” and started meaning person who passively #consumes marvel movies and ish. Nerds - don’t forget that Math club is undefeated yo. #culture

#Pluribus prediction: everyone agrees the show is a metaphor for #LLM’s in #AI, right? the joined claim they can’t harm life, in the same way that corpos assure us of safeguards. I expect that logic will be peeled back in layers in season 2 (corporate boardrooms irl). Big showdown is headed our way!

If Trump doesn’t need congressional approval to take out a leader of another country, I don’t think congressional democrats need approval to remove trump.

Don't forget they own your ass. #schema.org makes standards for #web search. It's a project by #facebook, #google, #microsoft. And yes, you can define a Person and you can give that Person an owner. wtf. Fits too perfectly with their world view. #monopolies

When a fat pedophile flaps his wings in Washington. Also, I forgot but #WhenIsTrumpsTrial?

Just treat it as an inevitability. #WhenIsTrumpsTrial #TrumpTrial don't engage in debates or propaganda or however maga will spin stuff. he's UNPOPULAR AS FUCK. I can imagine him standing trial for any of a number of crimes, can you?

almost no one wants war and most properly understand that #Trump's dumb ass has broken some number of laws this year. is confident optimism a workable strategy? there's no debate here. that bish needs to be held to #trial. #He'sLosingPower #venezuela

I hope for a vigilante to hear the call and fight #VictimComplex and #FakePersecution so if anyone says “I make no apologies for...” in literally any context whatsoever, our hero emerges from the shadows and slaps the shit out of them, thus ensuring they were the victim of an actual thing
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.

One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

Does anyone know about the frequency of new #nonprofit, #humanitarian, #activist groups, etc as a response to rising fascism? I remember that many charities saw spikes in donations, but I’m curious to see if the sort of network of humanitarian groups has strengthened as a whole. #MoralAmbition

So the Greek word “eidenei” means “to know” and I’d have bet my bottom dollar it was related to Hebrew’s “Adonai” meaning “my lord”, as the lord seems like a figure who would know some stuff. But no, Adonai is from a Canaanite language. So yeah. I don’t know shit about #etymology. Going to bed.
