A few years ago, I was in Rome, Italy. I actually stumbled upon the ruins where Caesar was stabbed to death. It’s now a cat shelter with over 200 cats. https://rome.us/ancient-rome/largo-argentina.html#:~:text=Largo%20di%20Torre%20Argentina%20is,and%20walk%20among%20the%20ruins

Born in 1885, Clara Belle Williams became the 1st Black graduate of New Mexico College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts (now NMSU).

While a student, many professors did not allow her into lecture halls so she took notes from the hallway. When she graduated in 1937, commencement ceremonies were canceled bc a group of students refused to walk with her.

Williams persevered despite discrimination, earning recognition as a teacher & lifelong learner. https://libexhibits.nmsu.edu/onlinexhibits/cbwilliams/index.html #HistoryRemix #history

I took this photo of my kid playing with his blocks the other day, and when I realized it reminded me of something, well...I had to make this.

Imagine you are a whale and you were breaking up with your whale girlfriend and humans recorded your conversation and put it on the Internet to fall asleep to. That would be so fucked up.

I like the phrase "snitches get stitches" because it suggests that, in spite of its incumbent violence, the criminal underworld is proactive about timely affordable healthcare.

It's going to be one of those days, isn't it?

I've started adding an extra credit question to all my exams that is, in a nutshell, "Describe, in detail, some topic you studied for the exam but that the exam did not cover".

Most of the responses I get are of the form "I found <thing> really interesting and studied it in great detail, but you didn't ask me enough about it and I want to talk about it more."

This is super rewarding.
