The last day of camp is extra special as it is also COSPLAY day at GMG! Check out these cool costumes!!

The last three weeks have been an amazing time working for @GirlsMakeGames's summer camp, and today it culminated with the campers showing off their games that the campers all made. They showed off their creativity in so many different ways!

That's a wrap for Week 2! 🎉 The campers began collaborating on their game design docs, and learned to create their own art and audio assets 👾🎨 We can't wait to see how they combine all these concepts into a working game next week 👀🎮

"Leave it up to the states" was also the pro-slavery argument in the 1800s.

This week is a week where I am feeling very fortunate to have so many exciting opportunities, but a bit anxious about my ability to live up to the expectations those opportunities come with.

This gives me ideas for the elusive day when I am actually able to negotiate a salary...

I don't normally share my Wordle result, but today's was just too stressful not to. Wordle 249 6/6 ⬛⬛🟩⬛🟨 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Periodically when writing I'll find myself recurrently writing a particular word in an odd way. Today's example: I've written "defining" as "definining" three times.

For the first time in over a year, I am actually ending the week more energized about my place in academia than I was when I started. While there's still a long way to go in a lot of ways, it really feels like I'm turning the corner and things are looking up.

'Why can you add co- to variance to get covariance, but you can't add it to median? Because the result would be funny.' - Jonathan Berkowitz

When explaining GG's impact to my game dev students I now argue that they didn't accomplish anything in the long term. Everything they tried to stop (progress) is still happening but they made a *lot* of ppl (including me) very miserable in the short term. twitter.com/xoxogossipgita…

Everyone deserves to experience math as creativity, play, exploration, joy, etc.—not just a utilitarian tool!—if they want to. I'm always trying to facilitate those joyful experiences for my students, regardless of their background or prior knowledge.
