It also still is not easy to get accommodations at these schools!! It took 6 months for me to get accommodations at one of these “elite” schools in grad school. And I’d had the diagnosis since 9th grade.

The title of this article alone reveals its bias. Why on earth would elite schools be an exception?

These “elite” schools are often the first places low income students have to get a diagnosis/accommodations.

Haha my intro to proofs professor said we could make up our own qed symbols too!

Thanks 🫶🫶🫶 my pt says its unlikely a fracture given the activites i can do pain free but ive walked/run on fractures without pain before so who knows…. Wishing ortho had listened when I asked for one four weeks ago

Girls Who Love Boys Who Love Boys When did everyone start fujoing out?

This is a very, very good feature by E. Alex Jung on fanfiction, fujoshis and the Heated Rivalry phenomenon: www.vulture.com/article/heat...

@flavorflav.bsky.social ‘s unremitting support of women’s supports genuinely makes me cry

Rapid onset gender dysphoria is not a thing!!! Still mad about that inclusion in the book

Why is MIT hosting Jonathan Haidt and boosting the Anxious Generation booo I hope someone spams the listservs with the multiple @ifbookspod.bsky.social episodes on him. Tempted to submit a question …

Stay safe 🩷

This is the first time my lab just outside Boston is fully closed in the almost five years I’ve worked there. It’s bad

This skeet is inspired by listening to two podcasts in the past week where non-mathematicians use us as example of rote, non-artistic, careers with daily successes and a “correct” way to do it. 😂

The widespread public misperception that working mathematicians spend their days solving objective equations and manipulating numbers is so frustrating. There’s an immense amount of creativity needed and subjectivity in the questions you ask and tools you choose to try to solve those questions.

I don't think I have words enough to express how much I'm down for whatever Paula Pell brings to the screen.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

My mom called me to ask me for advice about whether my parents should get a kitten.

obviously she has my full approval YES MORE CATS

It was never just about “concerns about kids transitioning too young”

😡😡😡😡😡

Mohsen Mahdawi will stay in the United States!!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Last night was a photo of Cheyenne Jackson and “this man’s first and last names are state capitals” and we had this clue a month ago (both $2000)

Another jeopardy episode where no one got a 30 rock adjacent clue, we are losing culture!

Jessie Diggins, racing with bruised ribs, fought through the injury to win the bronze medal in the women's 10-kilometer freestyle race Thursday in Tesero, Italy.

BONDI: You didn't ask Merrick Garland anything about Epstein

BALINT: Weak sauce

BONDI: And with this antisemitic culture right now, she voted against a resolution--

BALINT: You want to go there! Really? Talking about antisemitism to a woman who lost her grandfather in the Holocaust! *storms off*

Idk I just feel like releasing this on Women and Girls in Science day with the top people being in the Epstein files and only THREE (3) women being in the top FIFTY...is on the nose.

I feel bad for ivermectin, which genuinely is amazing stuff that won a deserved Nobel Prize but is now forever associated with crank antiscience

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

I mainly watched the Burbs for my under-appreciated queen of comedy Paula Pell 💃 but I enjoyed the easy going, light horror comic mystery and keke Palmer’s character. And ofc Paula was phenomenal!

Please media gods give her more shows that aren’t cancelled (rip girls5eva 💔💔)

That’s what I end up doing but I stubbornly always try to connect to eduroam first. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m convinced you can only connect reliably at your “home” university because I used to be able to connect to Dartmouth/Bowdoin when they were my logins and now I never can when I visit those places

Approximately 10% success rate with eduroam. And that’s almost always at MIT, not when I’m actually “roaming”

Watching Lindsey Vonn crash 13 seconds in and it looks so bad . 💔 I hope there’s no spinal injuries/that she’s able to walk pain free after recovery.

NBC should have muted the mics around her post crash. Her screams of pain didn’t need to be broadcast to the world.

A reminder for my fellow friends who don’t like football: today is a terrible day to do your weekly grocery shopping. Go tomorrow DURING the Super Bowl
