Two tropes in recipe videos that I abhor:
Feeding the dog some of your food (gross)
Squishing a sandwich or burger to make the juice / cheese ooze all over the place (also gross)
(Also not a fan scraping the knife across a piece of allegedly crispy food but whatever)
New tattoo
Ultra Bonus points for anyone that knows where it's from

People don't talk enough about how "Bottoms" is the best high school movie of all time

Gonna spend my extra hour tomorrow recreating all my Spotify playlists in Tidal
ah I see
nctm only lets you submit one session proposal?
Ooooooh I would LOVE that! I had toyed with the idea of making Calc Warm ups my summer project so this would save me a ton of time that I could spend destroying my backyard instead !
I do feel like Desmos Activity Builder might be a weekly (or nearly so) staple along with regular online homework.

Gonna engage some first year grad students in a conversation about content knowledge (CK) and pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).
