Recently a friend was telling me about their recent "bear meal" which is of course salmon and berries with honey. Very cute
A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone
I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

This thread had me progressively cackling
To anyone that needs clarification, "your best" is what you can accomplish without damage to your physical, mental and emotional health, not what you can accomplish by destroying them
Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes!
"Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

sorry let me try this again *ahem*

this isn’t difficult:
Don’t fuck your students
Don’t fuck your clients
Don’t fuck your patients
Don’t fuck your interns
Don’t fuck your wife’s adopted adult children
this still leaves a lot of people you can fuck!
Always use the mic at a conference even if you’re loud. People who can’t hear you *can’t hear you * when you ask if you can hear them in the back. Some of us went to one too many hardcore shows in our youth without ear plugs and our hearing ain’t what it used to be 🥺

A motorist just drove by while I walked past a big puddle near the sidewalk and splashed me like I'm some sort of sad sack in an 80s movie!!
In a study following 23 million people age 18-59 (pretty young) for 4 years…despite the fact that the ones who got the COVID vaccine were overall older and sicker at baseline, they not only had 74% lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated but 25% lower risk of dying from any other cause!
On (mathematical) intuition and the way you can build it. When intuition and calculation don't match, rather than "shut up and calculate", you can build a better intuition and imagination over time

Discovering this at 11pm when the person I thought was my ride from the party says "I think I'm too tired to drive safely later, how are you getting home?" was not my favourite. Napping on a friend's couch to get the first service home to take my morning medication is not the 2026 vibe I wanted
I love when my city advertises "free public transport for new year's eve!" but runs the usual timetable that ends sometime between 10pm and midnight on most routes. Thanks buddy you're so useful.
Learning Auslan, starting with mostly fingerspelling. I can't remember having to be so aware of how words are spelled. Remembering the letters at the beginning of a word while I wait to see the end is hard work!

Can't read DMs anymore because I don't think websites need to know things that are on my driver's license. I will be sticking to this so I guess if I don't answer DMs that's why

Sarah is in the backseat of some car holding up a sticker showing a squid on a phone and the squid says get squid facts text squid to 1-833-sci-text . There’s also a business card that looks like a phone that says horseshoe crab is calling. There’s also a zine that has a caked up earth that says “MILFs for Mother Earth”
People sometimes ask me for a business card, and I never have a card, but I almost always have some random assortment of science education material on me. So when a man asked me for my card earlier today I dug around in my pockets & handed him a MILF zine, horseshoe crab card, and a squid sticker 🤷🏻♀️
The terms that software people come up with always make me laugh. I'd heard about "code smell" but today I learned about "dogfooding" which is when you practice using your own product as a customer would.
Had a nice chat today with my bus twin John (catches the same bus as me in the morning and afternoon from the same stops). He's new to the area so I've been issuing restaurant recommendations.
My team lead: you know that thing where smells can evoke memories? Well, whatever new cleaner they're using in the bathroom reminds me of when I used to play world of warcraft
Huh, I wonder if this is a human typo or if the 6->8 scanning bug from old xerox brand photocopiers got them.

Mostly text with some illustrations. One Hundred Factorial Puzzles, art and games with the Maths Learning Centre www.adelaide.edu.au/mathslearning/play #100factorial Twelve matchsticks Twelve matchsticks can be laid on the table to produce a variety of shapes. For example: Here there is an illustration of three shapes made from matchsticks: a shape like a two by two square with two one-by-one squares attached to it, a three by three square, and a five by one rectangle. Some shapes have the same area and some have a different area. For example, the shapes above have areas 6, 9 and 5. Arrange 12 matchsticks to make a shape with area 4.
Many people got interested in this puzzle at MASA yesterday. The most fascinating thing is how many people assumed it was a trick question and looked for a solution with sticks inside or outside or on top of each other *assuming that sort of thing was the intent*.

You ready for this year's advent calendar?
