The world may be a cluster right now, but it’s Pi Day, a prime day (see what I did there) to celebrate something that we can all agree on—math. I hope you all have the best Pi Day, and enjoy a slice of your favorite.

Recently moved to the Western Slope of Colorado, and visited the Black Canyon of Gunnison National Park over the weekend. Absolutely breathtaking. We can’t wait to go back.

Three hardest things
for a man to say:

1: I need help
2: I was wrong
3: Worcestershire Sauce

But plastic straws are back…

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Just a reminder. The library is free to use. Free to check out books and DVDs. Free to take your kid to Story Time. Free to ask a question. Free to sit quietly for a minute. Or an hour. #supportyourlocallibrary

Mike Zimmer taught at my high school alongside my father. Elated to see he will be in office.

This is written by the bishop who stood up to Orange Voldemort. Everyone should be buying this. It's available on Amazon for $14. I'm an atheist and I'm buying it. #booksky

Happy MLK Day.

The primal fear and aggression exhibited towards household vacuum cleaners by modern dogs lives deep inside their canine genetics and indicates that prehistoric vacuums must have been a massive threat to their ancestor’s existence.

A man that looks like Jason Kelce looks at his baby son who is playing in his diaper bag surrounded by baby toys, all while standing in a weight room on the campus of Western Colorado University.

A Sunday morning spent eating homemade crepes followed by a family lift make for a pretty great day.

Here’s something to think about as you kick off 2025: ✨We are all stardust.✨

Every atom of oxygen in our lungs, of carbon in our muscles, of calcium in our bones, of iron in our blood—was created inside a star before Earth was born.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

The nail clippers.

After Five Generations, a Family Gave Back the Treasures in its Closet The descendants of a 19th-century federal official decided to return a prized collection of heirlooms to a descendant of a Lakota leader, Chief Spotted Tail.

After five generations, a family returned a headdress, moccasins and other clothing to a descendant of a Lakota leader. “We looked at each other and we said, ‘Is this real? 144 years?’” said Tamara Stands and Looks Back-Spotted Tail. “We were just kind of in awe.”

'Lookism' is alive and well and getting worse. Here's why your appearance is judged more than performance Research of nearly 1,000 leaders found myriad cases of lookism showing women’s appearance at work is “never quite right.”

We have written before that "no age is the right age to be a woman leader." It is also true that "no look is the right look for a woman leader." See our new Fast Company article on lookism bias against women.

The best thing about today was the crepe I had from a local small business, Krave, in Aberdeen, SD.

A fact that makes me really happy lately: My niece has shared she is asking Santa for a Pink Pony Club dress, and because of that, I know my sister is a really good mom.

You might not know this but your local library probably has an app where you can borrow ebooks and audiobooks, for free! Some have apps that let you borrow digital comics too.

My library subscribes to Borrowbox and it's great, I constantly have 2-3 audiobooks on loan.

Support your local library!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I know everyone says this, but the amount of STUFF libraries have available digitally is just breathtaking. My library system here in Baton Rouge has thousands of Udemy courses available. And they're free! They're so free.

Libraries are cool. Librarians are cool. Support your libraries.
