A question I keep sitting with: When we say a student is “not ready” for algebra — whose decision are we actually reporting, and how far back was it made? Curious where this lands for the teachers and parents reading. #mathed

The most powerful institutions rarely change their vocabulary. They change what the vocabulary does.
In 1942 someone proposed a dual math curriculum—rigorous track for future engineers, consumer arithmetic for everyone else—and called it “Mathematics for All.” That same phrase becomes equity reform’s rallying cry by 1989. Same words. Opposite machinery. #MathEd #EducationEquity #BlackEducation

I like technology and all but I want my passport stamps.
Talking about intelligence next week in my race science seminar. Came across this jem in my reading: “If IQ tests do not measure intrinsic intelligence as is claimed, then clearly it is better to be born rich than smart.” (Lewontin et al). Well…

the whole concept of "white genocide" is very funny because unlike a regular genocide where people try to butcher you with machetes or gas your family in white genocide your cousin marries an Indian guy
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
Now what does this have to do with opening the government? Spending Bill Would Pave Way for Senators to Sue Over Phone Searches www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

My mom and I had so many of these.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 11mo agoDo you have secret words or phrases with your parents or siblings that have stuck around since childhood? Many families have an intimate, group-specific dialect known among linguistic experts as “familylect” or “familect.”
This morning I learned that a group of vultures is called a “committee.” This explains so much.
I definitely recommend this if you are interested on Black feminist cultural analysis. Carby left me with a very different pespective. Sign of a great book! #booksky #blacksky

I had the pleasure of writing a response to Kirchgasler’s paper in Science Education about affect in post-Brown science education reform. Her analysis helped me build on the genre characteristics that I talked about in my racialized deviance paper last year. #Blackademics #mathedresearch #scienceed

Paul Robeson calls us all to decide what we stand for: “Every artist, every scientist, must decide NOW where he stands….The artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative.
Today I Made it to the proofs stage with a paper that I submitted ages ago. It’s (not) so funny how journals will take 4048595 years to get back to you when you submit a manuscript but want proofs back in 15 minutes. #AcademicSky
I can tell you who won’t be buying them 🙋🏾♀️
HuffPost@huffpost.com · last yr.We predict these cozy goods won't stick around.
people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research
“How we as a culture reckon with that moving forward is yet to be determined.” This is the thing. I’m not confident that the culture has the will to hold the line on Diddy when it has refused to do so with so many others.
HuffPost@huffpost.com · last yr.The mogul escaped the most serious charges from his criminal trial, but disturbing evidence and his own actions have already exposed who he really is.
I’m having a hard time holding my tongue watching colleagues who have consistently argued for why race has no relevance in their research & explicitly asked me how to make race “disappear” are using the fact the Black PIs have lost their research grants disproportionately as past of their campaign.
That we continue to perpetuate this type of violence is entirely unsurprising. Thanks for the data, though. #mathed
"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance
