Congratulations!

[triplenuggetshowdown]

List of insane dndads moments because there are so many:

- ron successfully hiding in his pants

- the entire character of scam likely and his introduction. Insane Anthony move

- trapping a man in a door and putting hologram pants on his head so that he looks like just pants from both sides (i cant read this without laughing)

- "I silence his ass with a kiss!"

- hermie revealed as a theatre kid preparing for the role of the joker

- mambo #5 is a plot point

- The fucking battle of the band's. Ron's nat 20, nick and glenn stealing the car, henry answering the scam likely call. a perfect storm.

- Pyramid explosion during the lord of chaos arc. Iconic darryl moments

- darryl going back in time WITHOUT the dms knowledge and the players editing the actual podcast episode forever. Iconic darryl moments 2

- beheading a high level vampire they were NOT SUPPOSED BE ABLE TO KILL with a fanny pack

- using the extending sword as a pole vault during the 1st grandaddies fight + using the orbs to teleport the kids (this was just rad honestly)

- the deck of many things: Glenn kills a squirrel, levels up, summons death, gets trapped in guitar

- not to mention scamlikely return and immediate alignment change into wellactually

- SIBLING FIGHT! Ashley and anthony using embarrassing fan fic as the greatest weapon. Glenn and jodie start fighting for no reason. Wait what's canon and what's not? I love this epsiode

- Ron's friend beth may played by Anthony burch

Wrote a whole ramble to myself earlier then my app crashed and didn’t save it so im not even gonna attempt to re-write this in a comprehensible way. But I’ve been seeing posts like “im glad to see the fall of the union in my lifetime” and…. Well. it isn’t my intention to be a WellActually or contrarian leftist criticising well-meaning people on the same team all like “oh yeah??go do something then” …but i really am so pessimistic about this being the main takeaway from what’s happening

The fact that the uk government is using the never-before-used “fuck you” constitutional order to reverse Scottish bills and desires is just. simply, finally, the most physical and legal manifestation of what the uk has been treating scotland like for decades. it’s being employed because making trans peoples lives easier fundamentally conflicts with their fascist regime. abhorrent, and we knew this. and we are angry and we are assuming this finally must mean something. it must mean change will come ?? But them doing this, solidifying how they view trans ppl and their intentions for trans policy in the country, and them going mask off wrt the facade of democratised devolution by using section 35 despite how obviously repressive and dictatorially batshit that is, does not mean that everyone is as outraged as we are. and even if they were, the uk does not give a fuck. even with the decent amount of backlash we are seeing in Scotland, it will always be the uk’s mission to ignore and suppress scottish desires and needs. they will not allow this to become of international importance. they will continue to lie about the cross party support for independence and trans rights through the paternalistic propaganda they’re expertly trained in. they will continue to platform and allow the spread of the most basic transphobic rhetoric you can think of in the media and sociopolitical sphere and they will roadblock any progress in parliament. that is what they do and they won’t change that, that tory government has no desire to and that spineless labour leader has no plans to. we can’t just assume that an extreme anti-Democratic act will be the last nail in the coffin for the union, bc the truth is there is not nearly enough understanding or support for trans rights in the general public of scotland for it to mobilise in the swathes we need for change. it would be so easy for this to fade out of the british media cycle without action, becoming yet another thing we just have to accept from the uk gov, the fact they can overturn any of our laws whenever they want to.

It sucks so fuckin much. N imo proves that It’s literally imperative for the future of scotland and trans people’s well-being that we don’t shut up about this. Like we have to take this opportunity to organise for independence more than ever more. protesting, disobeying, and publicly backing indyref2. having uncomfortable conversations with friends and family, with liberal and lefty unionists. researching & supporting trans ally pro indy MSPs. without getting involved in a tangible way it’s gonna be 10x less likely and there’s just no time left for ppl to be sitting on the fence

Just going to sit here for a bit and look at the lovely pictures. Everyone's very ANGRY on Twitter, very "establishing dynamics on first day in new school" on Bluesky, and a bit earnest on Mastodon. It's nice here plus that one annoying reply guy who pops up everywhere to WellActually me has not made it to Tumblr yet to tell me how I'm doing it all wrong 🎉

so many things, and so many names

we care about the names, but there is no thing!

#wellactually there *are* beings, but not-beings also *are*, and reality doesn't give a fuck about your particular (or collective) delusion

might put a name to it, but here I lie in the now, smiling because of all the none-ness that actually*is* but can't be experienced by many

the thing is there is no thing, and we only project "thingness" upon ideas, more often than not using tools like language or space; but as "things", each of our consciousnesses tend to project selfness onto themselves; i didn't do it, so it was you sorry my bad, we'll try not to delude us this badly next time, won't we? we still don't make our mind, the you is missing but also the me, and nevertheless "here" "we" "were", at least in this now i (the "me" part of us) got the controls for this funny little avatara that reckons itself a singular and well defined entity: rejoice in the naïve! there will be time to rejoice in the learned mistakes, and then we will have always keep being

litany against wellactually

i must not wellactually. 

wellactually is the social group killer. wellactually is a little-death that makes the chat awkward. 

i will face the statement i disagree with. i will let the statement i disagree with pass over and through me. and when it has gone past, I will reopen the webpage to see its path. 

where the statement i disagree with has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

I kept the tags neutral on this but maybe I should have included a tag to have a chance of reaching the men. Something Like

#sportball #talkingloudly #dont wash hands #wellactually #reddit

I've been on Tumblr for over a decade and I always assume everyone is a girl or woman. Wondering if it's anywhere near true

Me yesterday: I don’t really suffer with hangovers 🙂! Me today: I am most definitely hungover 🙃!! Just to give some context; I went to @baftacymru last night and had an absolutely fantastic night and ALSO WE WON A BAFTA!! There was lots of free gin and champagne 🥂 and I got home at 2.30am, was in bed by 3, and I’ve had about 3 hours sleep... now I gotta get up to get ready for a hospital appointment... the real world is here this Monday morning making sure my head doesn’t get too big 😂 although I’m taking my damn BAFTA to Rookwood Hospital to show them all!! #wewonabafta #cantbelieveit #idontgethungover #wellactually #thinkimstillpissed😂 #butdefinetlyhungover #threehourssleepandlivinglife🙌🏻 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lo-flhh-Y/?igshid=15w3dxs4lg578

How does a mansplainer get water? From a well, actually

The hypothetical mathematician in my head is smugly telling me that #wellactually I can't build a machine that uses infinite memory, so I'm locking him in a room with

head $ [(a,b,d-a-b) | d <- repeat [1..2**(10**10)], a <- [1..d], b <- [1..d-a-1], a**3 + b**3 = (d-a-b)**3 ]

, a week's worth of food, and a GoPro

One thing that was hard for me to get used to when I started learning math was what I call "static thinking". Math doesn't have any time evolution; everything either is or it isn't.

When non-mathematicians think about operations like addition, they think of them as "processes" that "occur": you take 2 and 8 and "combine them" to get 10. The expression "2+8" is like a sort of command, telling you to perform this process of addition. People think of math this way because it's basically how math is presented in schools.

To a mathematician, the expression "2+8" is not a command and it does not signify a process. "2+8" is merely another way of writing "10". They are two expressions with identical meaning. That's what "2+8=10" means, it means "these two expressions signify the same thing". There is no "process of addition" which "happens" and "results in 10". "10" and "2+8" are just alternate spellings of the same number.

For a more advanced example, consider the formal definition of a finite state machine. Intuitively, we think of a finite state machine as a network with various nodes and directed edges and so on, into which we input some string in the machine's alphabet. After inputting the string, it travels around the machine according to the transition functions before finally arriving (or not) at a final node, and by this process a computation is performed. Of course, mathematically, this is nonsense. A finite state machine is a network with various nodes and directed edges and so on, but the notion that you can "input a string" and it will "travel around the network via the transition functions" is bullshit. A string is recognized by the machine if and only if there exists a valid path for that string via the transition functions from an initial node to a final node. The string never actually travels the path, because such a notion does not exist in mathematics.

A finite state machine is not a machine, it never actually does anything. It sits there in the realm of abstractions, unmoving and static. Every string which it "recognizes" it recognizes by dint not of things that it does but of facts that simply are; every string recognized by the machine is so and has been so since the dawn of time, without the machine ever in fact going about the process of recognizing it.

This is philosophically a little bit trippy, but it can also confuse early math students in practice, too. As I mentioned at the top, I was very confused by it. For instance, in the finite state machine example, a perfectly ordinary statement to encounter in a proof might run something like

[Block of reasoning establishing that some string w is recognized by the machine M] [Block of reasoning establishing that all transition functions into a final node F of M have label x] ...since w is recognized by the machine M, there must exist a transition function T whose target is a final node and which sends w to that final node on the last character of w. Thus, since T must have label x, the final character of w is x.

To a mathematician this seems perfectly trivial. To me as a young math student, this kind thing seemed almost miraculous. We don't even know what w is, and yet we can run it through the machine? And from the fact that the machine recognized it, we can conclude things about what w is? We can tell its final character? How is that possible? I felt like this kind of thing involved "reaching into the future", reasoning about processes from the end when we haven't even begun them yet.

But, of course, we can do this, because there is no past or future in mathematics. The machine is simple there, the string is simply recognized or not, its last character simply is x or it isn't x. Nothing has to "happen".

Ring, ding, ding, ding, ding, #CROCONANAPHONE! Have you heard? @jasonporath made the awesome series called @rejectedprincesses! I saw him today at @rosecitycc! He's awesome and so are his books #RejectedPrincesses and #ToughMothers. I seriously cannot gush enough about this series. I read it when I'm feeling down and out and need a pick me up. Those days when I'm told to be quiet because I'm too loud, or those days where I run into a #wellactually! It was such an honor to meet someone who, in my mind, is doing a service to our society putting these stories to paper! Who is your favorite rejected princess?! #rccc2018 #rosecitycomiccon #webcomic #comics #convention #oregonconventioncenter #conventionlife #adventuresofcroconana #croconana #bananaphone #sorbetjungle https://www.instagram.com/p/BnhuidkBqe2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=myntnqnk2h94

If I could tell one thing to people starting TYK after watching SHL it would be this: you will have a much, much better time with the novel if you don’t project SHL’s characterization and backstories (and plot… and themes… and relationship beats...) onto it.
