“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house."
Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

Brain: you must rest but you must feel terrible about it
Society: you may never rest and must continue to cognitively decline until you are a husk who can't work, only THEN can you die.

The other day at a nearby patch I caught some movement that was a Groove-billed Ani. This time I didn’t hear its striking call. Turned out there were 2 deep in the tree cover. #CorpusChristiTx #Birds

If you have not heard from someone in several days, they might have the flu. This is also my reminder to mask again whenever you are indoors, set your air purifiers on medium (they are useless when off), get vaccinated, and wash your hands after taking the subway.

still thinking about the problem on the analysis prelim that was very nearly dini's theorem but swapped a monotone sequence of functions with a sequence of monotone functions
of course I did not realize this while actually taking the exam, no,

Tell your gluten free friends there's gluten free Cheez-Itz now. They already know but it'll give them an opportunity to talk about how they're a light in the darkness in these trying times.

Mathematician Ruth Moufang, known for extending Hilbert's axioms for plane geometry to projective geometry, was born #OTD in 1905.
The Nazis dismissed her from teaching, but she later became the first woman officially titled as professor of mathematics in Germany. 🧪 👩🔬
