Hi everyone! I’ve noticed a lot of new folks here so I thought I’d say welcome and introduce myself. I’m an assistant professor in the math department at Cal State San Marcos (~30 min north of San Diego). My research is in the area of dynamical systems. (1/)

At the vet today, a nice old gentleman in the waiting room was petting my dog Moose and asked, in all sincerity, if Moose is catholic.

I am doing IRB stuff for the first time, and I gotta say...my tolerance for red tape is LOW.

BREAKING NEWS: my dog is a circle
A small brown dog is curled tightly into a ball, sleeping on an armchair. Her nose is tucked against her hind leg and her tail wraps around her body. She is wearing a floral-patterned collar and lies on layered blankets with a green pillow nearby, creating a cozy indoor scene.

This is my impression of an owl, but the owl is a CSUSM student
A great horned owl with bright yellow eyes and raised ear tufts perches on a concrete ledge in the foreground, looking up toward the camera. Below and behind it is an open campus plaza with patterned brick walkways, lampposts, and a few people walking. A modern building stands to the right, while roads, trees, and hills stretch into the distance. The sky above the hills glows with vivid orange and pink sunset colors.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Some early coverage of the #IceOutofSanDiego protest this morning. Looking for more when it comes out!

www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/i...
Ice protest planned for Thursday outside downtown San Diego federal building
The protest, which is scheduled for 11 a.m., comes one day after the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman by an ICE officer in an immigration-related operation in Minneapolis.

I made it to my final continent! Happy 2026 everyone.
Kim is wearing a red parking, standing behind a blue banner that has the outline of Antarctica and says “We made it! Antarctica 7th continent”. The ground is snowy and rocky.

I hit some foster milestones with the San Diego Humane Society!
An open card that reads “Kimberly, Congratulations on this big milestone! Thank you so much for being a big part of our team. We couldn’t do this life-saving work without you! YOU ROCK! Heart, ESC foster team”. At the bottom of the card is a big “1000 hours”. There are pins around the card recognizing 1000 hours, 4 years, and 25 fosters.

Students who take AP Statistics are 3x more likely to be able to tell the difference between correlation and causation.
Screenshot of a College Board social media post promoting AP Precalculus. Large text reads “Students who take precalculus are 3x more likely to earn a college degree.” Below the text is an icon of a diploma with a ribbon. The bottom text says, “See why more schools are making AP Precalculus part of their math pathway.”

Happy thanksgiving #mathsky! I’m thankful for this community. Drop pics of food you made that you’re proud of here! I’ll start: caramelized onion Boursin mashed potatoes with a sliced potato crust
A rectangular sheet pan on a stovetop holds a baked dish topped with thinly sliced potatoes arranged in overlapping layers. The potatoes are golden brown around the edges, lightly crisped, and seasoned with visible sprigs of rosemary. The pan has a speckled blue interior, and the dish appears freshly baked and rustic.

"There's no such thing as an academic emergency," I repeat to myself as I send yet another email apologizing for a delay and then wipe coffee off of my students' work.

ICE spotted less than a mile away. All of campus is on edge. I hate this timeline we’re in.

Maisy was brought in as a stray, severely underweight with skin infections. She was lactating when the Humane Society found her, but they were unable to locate her puppies. This poor girl has been through hell, but she is still so incredibly sweet and loving. Looking forward to letting her heal.
An emaciated brown dog wearing a pink camouflage-patterned shirt lies asleep on a cream-colored fluffy dog bed in front of a lit fireplace. The dog’s fur is sparse in places, showing that it is still growing back in.
