Well done to Deidre Haskell, @archernikov.bsky.social, and others who have resigned en masse from the profit-oriented Mathematical Logic Quarterly and founded a new diamond open-access journal ZML! Academics have the upper hand over commercial publishers, when they decide to flex their muscles.

It feels a bit strange having a completely empty profile page, so here's an introductory post to say that I'm only an occasional contributor to Twitter, but my plan now is to cross post here and see how things go, both for me personally and for the two sites as a whole. 1/4

I'm writing a math paper for an invited volume with a timed deadline (already overdue, of course), this is very stressful! How do you all do it in computer science and other subjects and not loose sleep?

From the Wikipedia entry on Frank Ramsey: In 1923, Ramsey was befriended by Geoffrey and Margaret Pyke, then on the point of founding the Malting House School in Cambridge; the Pykes took Ramsey into their family, taking him on holiday and asking him to be the godfather of their young son.
