The two above mentioned knives, along with a custom Danish friction folder. I have others, but these are the ones I like that I can also carry to school.
Three closed folding knives on a light colored wood table. The top one is a nice rosewood friction folder, the middle is the ANV Neo, which has bullet shaped black nylon scales, and the rectangular looking titanium Quiet Carry West. Three folding knives, open, on a light wood grain background. The top one is a custom Danish friction folder with rosewood handles and a leaf shaped blade, the ANV Neo has a symmetric black drop point blade that compliments the liner of the handle, and the Quiet Carry West has a rather point straight back blade with a strong hollow getting that makes it easy to open by pinching instead of having to use the thumb Nick.

My favorite pen is the Waterman Carene in marine amber. It draws its lines from speed boats, for a double aquatic reference.
Uncapped Waterman Carene in marine amber in front of a bottle of Iroshizuko Tsuki Yo ink. The pen has a smooth integral nib that neatly aligns with the body and mimics the prow of a speedboat, while the end of the barrel evokes a slant back stern. The coating of the body is a reddish brown that appears to have translucent and shimmering depth.

Nah.

I can't mess with any of those.

My current pens and inks (the Energel Philographies have brass bodies which give them a really nice weight):
Two Pentel Energel pen bodies, one red and one teal. Above them is handwritten text. "G2 burgundy" is in dark red ink, and "Zebra blue black 1.0mm" is in a very dark blue.

Newest addition to our menagerie:
Image of a blue poison dart frog (Dendrobates tinctorius azureus). It is on a brown mossy background, next to a green leaf. Its coloration is bright blue and black, with the head almost entirely blue and the speckle pattern fading so that its tail end is almost entirely black.

My knife roll, and a couple of the knives that live in it.
A wall hanging made of purple fabric backing with two rows of pink fabric pockets mostly filled with folding knives. The roof from which it is hanging can be removed, and the it can be folded and rolled up to transport the knives. A Kizer Velox, no longer in production. Hand made Danish friction folder, open. Hand made Danish friction folder, closed showing off the stubby tang.

A pretty #Desmos thingy I made based on a request from a Reddit post.

Sets of right isosceles triangles arranged to look like rotated and nested squares. The colors change with each size to enhance the effect of nested squares Each triangle is shaded with a pursuit pattern that increases in brightness as the pursuit nears the center, giving a spirally gem like effect to each triangle.

My version of the god triangle, and the desmos link I used to make it:
www.desmos.com/calculator/6...
The "god triangle", a right triangle with angle theta marked, and three groups of two curved arrows showing which trig function relates two of the sides, and whether the "from" side of the arrow should be multiplied or divided by that function to find the value of the "to" side.

Ugh.

A hill I'm going to die on is that using SOHCAHTOA to teach trig is the same as teaching that the preferred form for the equation of a straight line is this.

two equal expressions, the first having 35 boxes times a fraction of 48 packets over once box times a fraction of one day over 56 packets. The second expression is the same, except 35 is factored to 7 times 5, 48 is factored to 6 times 8, and 56 is factored to 7 times 8.

My version of this looks like:
Drawing of a right triangle. The hypotenuse is labeled as h, one of the angles is labled as theta. The opposite side is x, and the adjacent side is one. Below that you are asked to identify what the following values or expressions represent: x theta h sin theta

I love this inequality. It's the basis of the engineering approximation that 3 dB is a factor of 2 (or one half).
A progression of inequalities, starting with log base 10 of 2 greater than 0.3. Both sides are multiplied by 10. By log rules for multiplication, the left side becomes log base 10 of 2 to the tenth power, while the right side becomes simply three. The log is resolved by raising 10 to both sides. On the left, the log disappears, leaving only 2 to the tenth. The right side becomes 10 to the third power. Simplifying the exponents results in 1024 greater than 1000, which is true, so the original inequality is also true.

Element War is going better than it had any right to. (I'm randomly switching the win criteria between things like greatest ionization energy or least election affinity every couple of minutes).

Sometimes self care is a fancy dinner with your favorite company:
Fancy plated pair of crab cakes with assorted breads and sort of old fashioned whisky drink in the foreground. Filet mignon in the foreground, pork chop with apple compote on another dish, and Meyer lemon grilled broccolini and lobster mashed potatoes as side dishes. Wide plate with a Meyer lemon custard on the right side, and extremely vanilla ice cream in the left. The custard has a bite out of it and the raspberry coulis is smeared because the photographer got too excited. In the back is a deconstructed creme brulee presented as a Napoleon swimming in a plate of caramel sauce.

My favorite 2 + 2 = 5 problem:
#MTBoS
Math problem asking "How many squares?" showing a stack of two squares plus another stack of two squares. The final answer is four squares arranged as a larger square, giving a total of five squares on the right side.

Just called my congressperson, at their district office number.

I got a real person on the line.

Here's the script that I wrote for myself to read to them.
My name is [redacted] and I am one of your constituents. I believe we are facing a constitutional crisis. There are unelected people shutting down some parts of government, and looting others. I see federal officials engaging in horrific actions that are not sanctioned by the proper process of government. When you took office, you took an oath to defend the constitution. Under the first article of the constitution, you are the person qualified to do so. I do not need a poll on whether you should defend the constitution. I do not need to sign up for your fundraising list. I need you and your fellow democrats to fuck civility and do your goddam job.

My spouse has been changing the ratios on the chicken noodle soup she makes me. This is what it looks like now.
A large blue bowl filled with noodles, large chunks of chicken, peas and carrots. There is no broth visible. (There is broth. It is double stocked and delicious, but it's not the major ingredient.)
