Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hey Hec.

Does anyone else think that Captain Pike looks like Hec? [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
MI was interesting in new and different ways this year. I lived in a log cabin with a structure that somehow defied my experience with Lincoln Logs. I had 5 fantastic students, taught 5 hours a day, instructed the students through designing lights for a showcase type production and designed two shows. The summer ended with a really fun production of Jekyll & Hyde. I am very tired.

How are the kitties?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
That sounds fantasic, aurelia! (The summer, not the Dan Ryan. I'm driving down to Memphis in a couple of weeks and am already figuring out the best way to go and avoid the DR altogether.)

The girls are fine. No blood was shed on the return trip, so we were all much happier. I think they're glad to be home. They've been checking out all the favorite lounging spots to make sure they are still comfortable.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Why the mixed feelings, Emily?
It's this whole thing of "Look! Here are some women (usually five) who were good at math in the last five thousand years!" On the one hand, it's good for people to know that there were some, on the other there's a certain "look at the talking dog" flavor to it. I'd be more impressed if textbooks managed to mention a woman every now and then without making a big deal of it.
Eh. Like I said, mixed feelings. I don't think they're totally shameful things and should be torn down, I'm just... mixed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Like Black History Month?

Pretty much what I'm saying.

So who here has heard of Sonya Kovalevsky? Not me....
I have! I even had a quote from her as a tagline, a few years ago. (Something like "A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician." The quote's also been attributed to Weierstrass.)
