I've posted a one-pager of advice for mathematics students (both undergraduate and graduate) on my website:
https://aten.cool/one_pager.html
I wrote a draft of this a couple years ago. I now feel a little strange posting it as I leave the university system. I certainly don't approve of many things the AMS has done recently, for instance. Still, I hope that this information is useful for current students and that one day I'll be able to update it with pointers towards people and groups that I can whole-heartedly support.

@caten@mathstodon.xyz okay this one blew my mind: > Do not write ln instead of log. In mathematics, ln is antiquated and the base of log is assumed to be Euler's number. I know I'm old, but... dang.
