What to expect:

1) The show continues overnight

2) There’s a chance that tomorrow night’s northern lights show is even better than tonight’s (more below).

Really enjoyed seeing the northern lights in #colorado with the naked eye. Lots of neighbors and strangers out at the nearby lakes to watch.

I'm forgiving myself for getting a D+ in Linear Algebra in college
Seconded: it's really hard to fetishise maths after having studied Linear Algebra in any real depth. Like, don't get me wrong, but the mindset you need to cultivate to get good at it is not one that's suited to success in the modern world.
indeed, *actually* knowing a lot of math instead of just pretending that you do seems to insulate many people from Math Fetishization Syndrome

it's really disturbing how @bsky.app can suspend people for no apparent reason with no apparent recourse. I thought this platform was moving beyond that kind of system
