As a side note, makes me feel very ancient to see students many years my junior running for congress

FYI there's a Math PhD running for congress in Pennsylvania. I know Lucia from when she studied in Austin, she'd do great in congress

avoiding being influenced by geese-like campaigns by only listening to bands no-one has ever told me about

Aspect of care Visible disabilities (mobility, sensory loss) Non-visible disabilities (autism, chronic fatigue, dysautonomia, chronic pain) First impressions Needs legitimized immediately by physical cues Needs can be missed when symptoms are fluctuating or not easily measurable; presentations may be misattributed under time pressure or uncertainty Service adjustments Physical access (ramps, signage, interpreters) increasingly routine Adjustments such as quiet waiting rooms or pacing-aware consultations remain rare and ad hoc Data visibility Clearly coded, tracked in audits and inspections Poorly coded, rarely measured; “what is not counted is not resourced” Professional habits Seen as straightforward to accommodate Diagnostic overshadowing and premature closure more likely; stigmatizing shorthand can emerge (“non-compliant,” “difficult consultation”) unless explicitly addressed in training Patient experience Some frustration with patchy provision, but needs usually recognized Frequent reports of disbelief, stigma, and avoidance of services; risks to safety and trust How visible and hidden disabilities are treated differently in clinical practice. Evidence sources: Concepts and examples in this table are informed by literature on the hidden curriculum (1), disability-related health inequalities (4, 18), diagnostic overshadowing (16, 17), autism and primary care experience (15), learning disability registers and coding gaps (14), and system-level adjustment mechanisms including the Accessible Information Standard and Reasonable Adjustment Flag (9–12).

Banff was reasonably picturesque tonight.

I finally finished making an audiobook for Rethinking Disability and Mathematics. Only two years late! Hurrah! I also made some resources to go with it, like Math Homework (a printout with all the math problems in the book to use before you listen or read) ♾️

That sucks. But also, swingeing campuswide cuts will always get you before your colleagues hold an improvised trial

Our department is shrinking too, retirements not replaced etc. but my experience has been that the small department fosters solidarity, we all usually stick up for each other, will you have colleagues of some sort?

That sucks

I think I always figured there was someone else who that would happen to first so I'd get worried more if and when it happened to them. Then I got to a department where I feel like we're mostly pulling in the same direction

I'm not sure it went away, I just thought less about it. Tenure meant job security and stability for our family more than professional status for me

I mean, agree completely on your point. What I hear now is more that they're glad someone took one off City back then. There's a chance City win the league this year and again for the next 4 years, and if that happened, we might look back and think it'd have been nice if someone else won one

Keep seeing "City might eventually face consequences" as a reason for rooting for them over Arsenal. Root for who you want, but do we believe actual consequences are coming? Been talking about them for so long it seems to me like it's a narrative that serves City more than anyone else

The background noise about City possibly being stripped of some titles and/or relegated also helps them by making it seem like even less of a big deal if they win another

Get on the perfectly weighted pass from Gakpo though #LFC

social media is like math in that I feel like the people making genuinely original content are on acid

But also: Carlsen gave up being World Champion because it was too much work. Ding and Gukesh seem to have had a bad time since winning the title. Hard to get excited about who's going to be the next challenger to try to take what seems to be a poisoned chalice #chess

We buy the packs with various flavors and the kids only eat the vanilla ones. Absolutely love them

@ activia how many of these bad boys can a 4 year old eat in a day? If it matters the 4 year old is an absolute unit

some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

Watched a bit of the Candidates Tournament but mostly it just reminded me that there don't seem to have been many consequences for what happened to Daniel Naroditsky #chess

MOTHERFUNCTOR! structure-preserving political commentary for mathematicians

I've had a complicated few days, but they gave me a chance to launch my political mathy newsletter:

I have a script I'll be testing to scrape interesting/relevant things from the Federal Register to send out regular updates (with short commentary)

New video, on mechanisms that illustrate the duality between the cube and the octahedron! Here's one of them: a linkage with fabric panels designed by Sabetta Matsumoto.

Chess board from White's perspective. White piece locations: King g1; Queen h6; Rooks c1, e1; Bishop d3; Knights e4, g3; pawns a2, b2, d4, f2, g2, h2. Black piece locations: King g8; Queen d8; Rooks c8, f8; Bishops b7, e7; Knights d7, f6; pawns a7, b6, e6, f7. Colored squares indicate last move was Black Knight from d5 to f6.

White to play and mate in 3.
