Hi! I'm Michael, currently studying math and computer science at Lake Washington Institute of Technology. I have a BA in Drama from the University of Washington, and intend to attend grad school for Applied Math as soon as I'm able.
Looking forward to casual chat, professional referrals, learning something new, and sharing some of my findings too.
Anyway, here's a Clifford attractor #p5js sketch I made ☺️

UW is backtracking on Hasan Piker now and blaming "process" mistakes.
ok, yea sure.
-
WOW, Seattle's University of Washington says Hasan Piker is too controversial to let speak.
This school has allowed events led by speakers like Charlie Kirk and Milo Yiannopoulos and many other far right events to occur on the campus!
The Milo yiannopoulos event led to a fash attendee shooting someone at the entrance to the event on UW's campus.

WA state continues to feed drivers license data to ICE agents!
New research by the University of Washington proves ICE simply uses the login creds for other federal agencies and searches for the exact same data WA politiicians supposedly outlawed ICE from accessing.

After reading ...
"Chancellor Katherine Frank says the name change was long overdue. She adds the ABCs of Polytechnic are applied learning, business and industry partnership and career-focused."
... I am still not completely sure what the difference is between a university and a polytechnic university.
In a world were high schoolers aren't sure if college is right for them, I dig experimentation, though.

STUDENTS PROTEST OSAP CHANGES
Ontario students across the province are protesting about the recent changes made to the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). The Ontario government has announced that, starting this fall, OSAP grants will decrease from a maximum of 85 per cent to 25 per cent.
On Mar. 4, 2026, hundreds of students and community members from across Ontario gathered at Queen’s Park to protest the cuts. Similar protests broke out in different cities, including Waterloo and Ottawa. The OSAP changes are not only affecting post-secondary students but also secondary schools.
At the University of Waterloo, the reaction has been described as historic. Remington Aginskaya-Zhi, Vice President of the Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association (WUSA), noted that the campus is seeing a level of mobilization not seen in decades.
“This is the most engaged we’ve seen students probably ever,” Aginskaya-Zhi said. “The rally that we held was one of the biggest gatherings or protests on campus in probably our entire history.”
The movement is gaining even more traction in the Greater Toronto Area, where students are framing the cuts as a systemic attack on public institutions. Trudi Kiropatwa, a third-year student at Toronto Metropolitan University and a member of the Student Mobilization Committee (SMC), says the impact in Toronto is extreme.
“We’re essentially on a sinking ship,” Kiropatwa said. “This government and their corporate cronies see us as customers and our education as an industry that is ready to be exploited.”
The urgency stems from a lack of clarity on how these cuts will affect individual bank accounts. According to WUSA, the provincial OSAP estimator for the upcoming year has yet to be released, leaving students in a state of financial limbo.
Kiropatwa noted that for many, the breaking point is graduating into a job market with record-high youth unemployment while saddled with massive debt.
“Me, personally, I’m going to be graduating with tens of thousands of dollars of student debt already without these changes,” she said. “These changes are making the issue ten times worse.”
“Students definitely are very worried,” Aginskaya-Zhi said. “We are hearing stories from students telling us they’re uncertain whether they can come back to school next year, or whether they can pursue graduate studies.”
This uncertainty is already forcing students to make difficult lifestyle changes. Aginskaya reported that some students are opting for longer commutes rather than living in Waterloo to save on costs, while others are seeing their younger siblings reconsider university altogether.
Beyond the provincial level, the University of Waterloo is also grappling with internal budget crisis pressures. Aginskaya-Zhi highlighted that financial support units on campus are currently understaffed, which could complicate the processing of student aid.
“The university right now is understaffed and has lots of challenges to hire new staff…but funding should not come at the cost of giving more debt to students,” she said.
In response, organizations like WUSA and the SMC carried out a massive convergence at Queen’s Park on Mar. 24, 2026. Despite the government maintaining its argument that the 25 per cent grant limit is sustainable, the mobilizations saw hundreds of activists reiterating demands for a full reversal.
“We’re not here to demand a return to normal…which is a Band-Aid solution,” Kiropatwa said. “We’re here fighting for free, democratic, and accessible education.”
“Right now, I think students are angry, and what we are focusing on is giving students an avenue to let out their anger,” Aginskaya-Zhi said.
She emphasized that the momentum will not fade as the semester ends.
“Just because winter term is ending and it’s summer now doesn’t mean that students have forgotten this betrayal from the government.”
As Parliament returns to session, WUSA intends to keep the pressure on local MPPs to ensure the student voice is heard.
“We hear your anger, we hear your frustration,” Aginskaya-Zhi concluded as a message to the student body. “We are going to work to make sure that you can share that with us.”

Here's a few photos from a walk we did last Sunday to check out the flowering cherry trees at the UW quad. We parked at Gas Works then walked the BG to the UW. We first had breakfast at the Varsity Inn - Wallingford. Unreal crowds gazing at the cherry trees. We walked back through Wallingford making a stop for coffee at Irwin's Neighborhood Bakery and Cafe. Flowers everywhere-cherry, magnolia, camellia. We walked 7.5 miles altogether. #Seattle #PNW #UW #urban #flowers #photography

I picked up a 1998-era, floppy diskette-based, Sony Mavica digital camera recently. Today, I took it to the #UWCherryBlossom trees for the first time. Filled an entire 3.5" disk with shots like these.

Nad brzegiem Wisły, w dawnej kopalni fosforytów w Annopolu zespół badaczy UW odsłonił ukryty w skale przekrój czaszki morskiego drapieżnika sprzed około 95 milionów lat...
Szacuje się, że osobnik mógł mieć około 7 metrów długości i wagę między 3 a 5 ton. Jego masywne, tępe zęby o głęboko osadzonych korzeniach wskazują na drapieżnika przystosowanego do rozgryzania dużych, twardych ofiar.#ichtiozaur #rybojaszczur #wisła #nauka #biologia #geologia #paleontologia #UW #wykopaliska #skamieniałości #kreda #Annopol

It is a good working theory. I would bet a performance master’s or some such. Here are better pictures of the disc - and side A may say “For music” and “Harry Partch” - side B is tougher.

This is the full text of the report exposing how ICE is using license plate data to detain people. Please blow it up:
And a little spoiler, YES even Washington state agencies and institutions are helping ICE detain ppl here, which is against our state laws.
