Imorgon är det Black Friday rea. Det är en klämdagsrea efter tacksägelsefirandet, tacksägelse över skörden, som firas idag. I Sverige kör vi svartfredagsrea utan kläm och tacksägelse.

I sat by an election denier on the airplane and he started poking me in the arm to be emphatic about his views on people stealing ballots secretly and the airplane was full and I couldn’t move anywhere so I started explaining the yellow fever in very great detail, all the way down to telling him about the bloody vomit that looks like coffee grounds and it worked.

En del företag är så omtänksamma. De skriver att de saknar mig.

Det påminner mig om hur ofta eller sällan jag kontaktar och kontaktas med bekanta för att ge en hälsning.

I want to tell you the story of Vivienne Malone-Mayes, Texas-born mathemetician and professor, but I don't think you can understand her journey without talking about the #AcademicRacism in which she existed.
