The 'Clarity Index' is a neat formula for working out how clear your writing is. In brief: CI = Average sentence length + % of words with more than two syllables. I've written more about it here: robeastaway.com/blog/clarity…

Student: What does dx in an integral mean? Me (thinking): It’s a smooth section of the exterior power of the cotangent bundle. Me (out loud): It’s a tiny change in x.

As a trans person in Britain this is terrifying. Especially the Tory audience cheering and clapping as the Prime Minister gives the go-ahead for transphobia, saying we’re not real. Trans hate crime at record levels. Absolutely horrendous. #RishiSunak
