The American far-right: (((They))) built space lasers and hurricane machines to create natural disasters in the United States!
The American far-left: A country the size of New Jersey is single-handedly accelerating climate change to create natural disasters in the United States!
You guys sound exactly the same
#antisemitism#right wing antisemitism#left wing antisemitism#leftist antisemitism#american politics#current events#climate change#i dunno tankies I feel like your blorbos russia and china with their populations and landmasses and wars carry much of responsibility#for climate change#but what do I know I just have a basic grasp of math and science

feeling like,,,, soon I'm probably gonna become obsessed with evangelion again. the weather forecast says I'm gonna have the evangelion brain disease not too long from now
#mole talks#maybe i should rewatch it. yeah haha that'll make me wanna die#i remember the first time i watched evangelion was actually when i was 14 and was in year 10#had to do some pretty important exams (year 10 is the year before you do gcses so the work you do then feels like a big deal at the time)#i stayed up late watching evangelion and then the next day i went into school only to absolutely flunk my maths exam#i got.. 26% in that exam#my friend was SO pissed off at me when she learnt i spent so much time watching eva instead of studying!!#but this is one of my favourite memories ever for some reason#i've always been bad at maths.. but lately i've actually been kind of okay at it so i dunno what happened?#i didn't pay any attention in maths class last year#but i somehow performed very well on my maths exam last year#and this year i was moved up a maths class because my grade was high#i don't know how that happened? but i almost started liking maths after that#but then. my new classmates in my new maths class are the worst#i have the coolest maths teacher now! but the worst classmates#they talk constantly and never shut up#and i want/ to die. (just kidding i don't wanna die. i love life and living and laughing and et cetera)

spending more time on the bus is very quickly making me hate cars more than I ever had before
#helio.txt#there’s like 8 massive cars ahead of this bus holding let’s say two people each#and they’re taking up five times the space for the 40 people on the bus#that’s like ten times the space per person#I dunno I can’t do the math right now

when people complain about getting like, a 98% grade on something because it was "so close to perfect" its like. i understand what you're saying on a technical level. but that is a line of thought so far away from my experiences and ways of thinking that i do feel like im from another planet. 100% isnt even a real number to me
#i kinda understand when its something like a multiple choice test or something where there is an objective answer#it might feel like u got so close but just missed one#again still a bit alien to me because my scholarly performance is mysterious and anything over 70 is great to me#but i mean ive had a 98 before once in a math test. i did get exactly 1 bit of 1 question wrong#but i didnt really care that it was one off from perfect i was too busy being happy because that was the highest mark id ever received#and the previous math test i had taken got a 53% . grade 11 was a wild time for me in math class GHJKSHFKds#anyway i kinda see where ur coming from with stuff with right or wrong answers like that#but i sometimes get friends in class complain that they got a 95 or something on an art assignment#because they think they got docked 5 points for one or two little things#but i dunno. thats not really how fine arts departments in university tend to grade things#you dont start at 100 and get docked marks for things you got wrong. i dont think ive ever seen a 100% on something like that#tbh the numbers are a little arbitrary i find. i do prefer to try to get em higher because that helps with grants and stuff#but the numbers dont mean all that much in fine arts or in art history (my two majors) a 75 and a 95 can function the same depending on lik#weighting and context and feedback and whatever. i dunno its a wild world out there#it might just be the perspective of someone who did really goodbad in school. (GoodBad (tm) its when ur good but also kinda bad at school!)#compared to someone who got a lot of perfects in mandatory schooling. i sympathise i really do that kind of pressure sounds insane#but while i sympathize i cant really empathize as much unfortunately with this specifically orz its a world very far outside my purview!#100%s arent real to me so they never cross my mind to be worried about LOL

my boss did ask me if id been 'following the hurricane' and i realllllly didnt know what kind of response to give cause im like. if u make me think about climate disasters and political nature of civil engineering i just wont stop. so i said 'oh there was one just a while ago too'
#some shit#they did not hire me for my social graces#always doing math in my head like.... do u want me to say this system is fuck beyond repair and we have to tear it down before it --#well ur my employeer so. probably not.#but MAYBE. i dunno.

Recently I have found two different variations of audio overstimulation directly from qsmp that I have voluntarily subjected myself to for better or worse:
the chaos of the mission/etoiles dungeons with all the powerful mobs, loud suits of armor, sounds of damage being dealt, and screams of panicking players (moderately bad kind of overwhelmed, can't think, have to mute the streams every so often during to recover a bit despite enjoying watching anyways)
dorime layered several times over itself that Foolish and several eggs pole-danced to in cinematic fashion (still can't think, but it sounds good, and have actively brought up several duplicate tabs of the song to discordantly echo through my brain)
#qsmp#dunno why I am doing this to myself#but it sure is an experience#like my head is stuffed with a multitude of tiny sheep#not cotton#full moving sheep but tiny#don't try to do math while listening to either thing#you may think it will be like static#chaotic bg noise#it is not#your brain will crash#and you will get headache

So I ended up watching some B.lack B.utler today to try to get my mind off of things and well, this quote from S.ebastian really stuck with me
S.ebastian: "I'm not especially fond of dogs...to be completely frank I HATE them..."
Why am I bringing this up?
Because Wendy's family has a dog.
and Lord help him if Wendy were to show him or have him meet Nana, who is not only a DOG (a Saint Bernard mind you, one of the biggest dog breeds) but also finding out that she's a NURSEMAID for the children as well.
#~ time to grow up (ooc) ~#( wishlist )#// no no but like think about it#// I dunno if he'd be impressed with how well she does it#// or be appalled by the fact that a dog is a nursemaid in the first place#// I'm still new to the anime so I dunno if this would be an accurate option but like#// once he finds out that Wendy and her family aren't that well off finacially wise I could he'd be more forgiving toward it#// because they really aren't rich#// even tho they live in this HUGE house in every adaptation#// people often forget that in the book Mary and George had to do math every time their kids were born to see if they could keep them#// that's how bad their financal situation was#( DO NOT REBLOG )#( PERSONALS DO NOT INTERACT )

You can be really smart and still have a learning disability.
You can be really smart and still have a learning disability.
You can be really smart and still have a learning disability.
#my brain is full of garbage#and I keep thinking about the several people who have said to my face that I'm too smart to have learning disabilities#or that I'm too normal to be autistic#and you know the sad thing is that I am not even that smart#I am overwhelmingly average with a penchant for pattern recognition and a special interest in grammar and vocabulary#i sound smart#i am. in fact. an idiot#but the point still stands#I don't learn well in typical settings and it takes me longer to grasp a lot of simple concepts#or i will miss entire chunks of information while trying to get through a project before my interest in it dies and mess up multiple times#or I will do a math problem six times without realizing that my brain decided that 68 was actually 89#I have a dozen more examples between school and teaching myself new skills or just trying to plan out my bills#I know that I'm intelligent. But most of the time it feels like theres a literal mountain inside my head blocking my path#and I have to either climb it or dig through it or go around it#and all of those are very hard and take a long time and I have to trick myself into thinking it's fun so that I actually get through it#anyway#i dunno#I'm falling asleep#Just wanted to get some of the garbage out of my head

I just saw ANOTHER post lamenting this change, so I'm just gonna say "fuck it" and make a how to do the thing post, and if I'm misunderstanding the outrage... lol, this is tumblr, I'm sure someone will tell me.
Currently, if you want to go to a post in the middle of a reblog thread, you have to click the empty space in what I call the reblog header. The reblog header is the space that holds a user's name and reblog details, and on desktop, it turns a different color when you move your cursor over it. It's this space:
It doesn't change colors on mobile, obviously, because no cursor, but I think tapping is a little more intuitive on mobile anyway and afaik this particular thing has been this way here for a while now...? Whatever. Anyway, that's how you get to a mid-thread reblog!
(I actually do kinda like this new setup. It's not perfect, it can be annoying if someone's URL is long or if I accidentally click "Follow" instead of the header space. But overall, the space to click into a prior reblog is bigger now and I like that. I don't think I'll have to worry as much about mouse precision or drowsy coordination issues, which is nice. Maybe I'll be able to use the desktop version more.)
However, this means that in order to see "prev tags," you apparently have to click into the notes view and scroll until you find them. That's annoying for those who want to see them, and I can't blame anyone for being irritated. If you're new here you may be surprised to learn "prev tags" is fairly recent, so my recommendation (if you're looking for an alternative) is to put the actual tags from the user you're reblogging from, instead. This was normal prior to the "prev tags" trend if you wanted to share tags without screenshotting them, and it seems like tumblr has made it super easy now. The mobile app now automatically suggests the previous tags, and on desktop, they show up in a dropdown when you click to tag your post. Personally, I like to put "<-borrowing your tags bc funny" or "<-stole your tags for truth" or something right after, so I don't feel like I'm taking credit for someone else's phrasing. But either way, it's handy for your followers to be able to read the tags you liked without having to click to a different blog.
I'm hoping this particular change will be seen as useful after the rocky adjustment period is over.
All this being said, I personally like these particular changes, but I wish Tumblr would not roll out changes as rapidly as they seem to be recently. Either change everything at the same time or give it a rest, holy shlamoly! I stopped using Facebook because it seemed like every time I opened it, something was different, and it became jarring and uncomfortable to try to use. I'm starting to have a similar feeling about tumblr, and I don't like it.
#i suspect the prev tags trend is the reason for this change tbh#a tagging system is an organizational system and 'prev tags' is literal junk for organization purposes#even in conversational or informal context#they made copying tags super convenient? and using prev tags obnoxiously INconvenient?#like......i dunno. do the math. 🤷#doesn't mean you gotta be happy about it of course; I'm just saying. i bet that's why#honestly I'm just looking forward to not having to click through to a blog i don't care about just to see what the prev tags were#usually i don't even bother but occasionally someone will talk about the previous tags in THEIR tags#and i wanna know context. so. looking forward to that maybe not being a thing#anyways#dal is a text post#tumblr update#also i don't have hand tremors or anything like that but when I'm tired oh my god#precision is my enemy lol#really looking forward to just. header click! yay!#that's gonna be so nice on desktop omg#but uh. as long as I'm yelling in the tags? prev tags can die in a fire and i will cheerfully roast marshmallows over its flickering corpse#it's a mildly annoying trend at worst but it does not belong with the way this website works#just tumblr things#new user

that coffee is like. yeah expensive but normal expensive? it's not $20 is what i'm saying
#juggling those orbs#current exchange rate puts it at $8.29#i don't know how to do like inflation/currency exchange/deflation math#so i dunno what it would have been in 2016

mm. man. now i'm sad i don't ~like math anymore. not that i know for sure that i ever did, but i miss not flinching from it. i was scared of a lot of things in first year! but the doing of math wasn't really one of them. and it's still like. i'm not uniquely bad at it or anything, but sometimes i'm a little jealous of people who get the... mechanics of it. or have the creativity for it. the... ability / willingness / desire to think through a difficult proof or problem and enjoy that process. my dad told me once that he thinks everyone should learn math because math is beautiful. most of the time i am willing to let that statement stand, just accept that i basically get it but am never going to love it like he does, but sometimes. i wish this was still fun to me. i wish hearing about a new math concept wasn't so closely associated in my brain with feeling terrified and alone.
#sparrowsong#sorry i WAS going to elaborate more on that 'giant inexplicable locations that love you' post from earlier#but then i tried to do my problem set and got sad :(#[grumble grumble] i refuse to be cowed out of caring about math! except maybe i already have been! augh!!#maybe i just didn't realize you CAN have fun with the process of a thing until i started writing more! i dunno!#'sparrow you have deeply bizarre (boring) problems' yeah i know. :pensive: .#look. i am acutely aware of the degree to which this is like. L. Skill Issue. Etc.#going back to my ding dang problem set now#i'll be FINE.

it would be really cool if I could have a day this month where I wasn’t so chronically afraid it felt like my intestines were twisted into a möbius strip. Because ya’know- I really like my digestive tract being an orientable manifold. If that’s all the same to the universe.
#it’s the grad school applications I think. It’s really really getting to me#I just. I dunno. It’s hard to eat. Sleep. Talk to people. I try my best but yeah. This is most of what I think about all the time.#Is it normal to feel this bad because of them? Like is this typical levels of graduate school application stress?#The stakes feel so high even though I know they’re not. If I don’t get in I just apply for a job and then reapply to grad school later#But I think it goes deeper than that. The idea of grad school applications has got me really closely examining myself and…#I genuinely worry I’m just- a kinda mediocre mathematician at best#I’ve been starting to feel really insecure about how slow my processing speed is. Would anyone want to invest in someone like me??#Who does legitimately have disabilities that make efficiently solving problems harder for me than most?#My dad once told me I’m not capable of thinking like a mathematician. Because I’m so slow. He encouraged me not to major in it.#I’m really happy I disregarded him. I can’t imagine doing anything else. I love math and I love research. But I wonder if he was right#I guess it doesn’t matter. I don’t care. I’m going to do math whether I’m cut out for it or not. And if that has to be recreational#Because no graduate school wants me. Then so be it.#But I do really want to go to graduate school. I really love the grad level classes I’ve done.#I really hope I make it#vent#graduate school jeremiad#research jeremiad

found out the reason i wasn’t put in accelerated math was because in sixth grade my math teacher didn’t think i could do it because of my visual impairment 💪
#skipper speaks#it’s fine thoast year my algebra teacher recommended me for honors math#he honestly didn’t see me as a person with a visual impairment. he saw me as an actual person#peak teacher imo#because i can do hard shit. accelerated science is way harder than accelerated math and i was put in the former#i sound like a pretentious bitch i know but i’m honestly just made the sole reason i wasn’t put into it was because of my#(for lack of better wording) disability#the same thing happened in band#they put me in the equivalent of special ed band because they didn’t think i could do anything higher bc of my vision#like it was the sole reason i was put in tehre#if the sole reason i wasn’t put in excel math/higher band was because i genuinely was bad i wouldn’t be making this#but i dunno#smth about not being treated fairly evacsue of a disability pisses me off#(i mainly call it a disability because it prevents me from doing certain things other people can do)#that’s all
