Meanest mom in the world. Right here. Just FYI.
Did you send your kid to camp minus all her sillybands because she was plagued by rudeness this morning?
Oh wait, that was me.
It's all about the coat.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
No Sillybands? Doesn't that violate the Geneva Convention or something?

The status is NOT quo.
You are all very mean moms. Wow. I may have to report you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I feel so lucky. I haven't had to mean yet this morning. o/
But it's only time, isn't it?

I don't know how you mean mommies live with yourself.
If one makes 2 onerous phone calls and doesn't actually get through to anyone does it still count as an onerous task?

Bonny, in professional non-profits in NC (a considerably cheaper area than yours, I believe), the job you're describing starts at $80,000, with a full benefits package. I expect that in pricier markets one would be lucky to get someone for under six figures. So, no $20/hr does not strike me as reasonable pay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

If you left messages, I say yes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just went to a talk on cultural issues in broadening participation in mathematics. It was weird. The first half of the talk was the (middle-aged, white, Jewish) guy talking about how he grew up in the projects and went to public school. Then he talked about all his black friends. Then he showed some illustrations from the 1800s where black and Irish people were portrayed as animals next to the civilized Anglo-Saxons. Then the second half of the talk, he listed a bunch of mathematicians, and for each one, he played some music by a classical composer who was born around the same time. For the more modern ones, the music was all weird and atonal, and he called it "stagnant." Then he played some jazz by composers born at about the same time as those composers and mathematicians, and it was all exciting. And he told us that the classical music establishment would have benefited from some jazz influence, but it was kept out because it was black music. And that, if we reach out to get minority students into our departments, they might create the mathematical equivalent of jazz.
Oh, and somewhere in the middle of all that, he raised the question of whether there's enough Irish-American participation in mathematics, and he quoted an Irish friend of his as saying that the Irish are the black people of Europe.
Honestly, I don't think I got anything at all out of this talk.
