A 97.6% Waxing Gibbous in full glory. actually a little out of focus because there was a thin cloud layer in front of it.

yeah, cognitive fatigue can have a lot of different sources, so there's lots of different options to help reduce or accommodate it

I know it is easy to doomscroll, especially today. Please plan for yourself at least one or many more offline activities. Buy a pastry, read a book, go to a museum, see a friend, cook a meal, play with a pet, or even a trip to Costco. Try to limit time on your phone and avoid stewing in anxiety.

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

it's funny, I actually really love TA'ing and teaching calculus, and I usually feel like I'm pretty good at it, but some days... no πŸ˜‚

Happy Friday, everyone! What a way to end the week. We added a few donations that rolled in after the buzzer and the updated total we got from the folks at the Marsha P. Johnson Fund, which officially brings us over $25,000 raised. We're in awe of you all. BLUESKY STILL HAS THE JUICE

There's been discourse on Long Covid on this site the past few days. I think some people are thoroughly underestimating how hellish chronic illness can make you feel, even if you aren't at an immediate risk of dying.

hi professor, my complex analysis assignment will be late because I was too busy learning about different, more advanced complex analysis
