Day 5 off the trail. I plan to resume my hike on June 15. Here is one of the things I do between hikes. I wash the ziplock bags I’ve used so I can use them again and reduce my consumption of plastic. #hiking

#autism#mathsky. For Autism Acceptance Month I share part of my autism story. This is my seventh grade report card. I highlighted the math grade. I am full prof in math at an R1 uni. Unfortunately much of K-12 math is still being taught in same shitty way by the same shitty people.
