Akiva, 15. I find science and math beautiful, and Sherlock and Doctor Who rather entertaining. I also get enjoyment through strategy boardgames, lego, and manipulating objects, preferably ones on fire.
Oh, I'm also a browncoat. And I run MoriarTea, a WhoLock tea club, at my school.
Let me say up front that as a white woman, I may not be the best person to comment on racism and how it may effect a community that I am not a part of, but when I see something that I recognize as racist and hurtful, I want to speak up.

I have been recently playing crab canon, and it is awesome. Table top canon is also the best, having one piece of music played by two people sitting across from each other. Reflected along both axes!

Folding Space-Time … WIth Sound
Vi Hart channels her inner Möbius … and her inner J.S. Bach … and her inner Time Lord … to turn a wooden bowl and a music box player into an interpreter of space-time reflections using music as dimensions.

It’s been said by many that “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity”. Australian photographer Colin Legg has proven that true. He set out to capture last Friday’s fly-by from asteroid 2012 DA14 and accidentally caught with a burning meteor entry.
